Description

Multi-membrane coupling process and device for space station wastewater treatment
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, and relates to a multi-membrane coupling process and a multi-membrane coupling device for spatial station wastewater treatment.
Background
Water is the basic substance to sustain life operations. In manned space missions, the treatment and recycling of water in the cabin are very important, and can affect the duration, replenishment frequency, operation and maintenance cost and the like of the missions. The aerospace major countries such as the United states and Russia accumulate a great deal of ground and on-orbit operation experience in the aspect of space wastewater treatment, and relatively mature technologies and equipment are formed. With the implementation of projects such as Chinese space station construction, lunar exploration projects and the like, the demand of China on independent research and development of space water treatment technology is urgent.
The main sources of the space station wastewater are three types, namely cabin condensed water, sanitary wastewater and urine wastewater. The water quantity and the water quality of the water tank are different under the influence of the number of astronauts and the activities in the tank. Taking russia and the peace sign as an example, the amount of wastewater produced is approximately: 1.6kg of condensed water per person day, 1.2kg of urine wastewater per person day and 0.3kg of sanitary wastewater per person day. The amount of the wastewater can reach 9.3-15.5 kg/day according to the calculation of 3-5 persons in the passenger group. In addition, the influence of multiple factors such as equipment energy consumption, weight, occupied area, microgravity environmental adaptability, spare parts, stability, reliability and the like is also required to be considered for the space station wastewater treatment.
The water quality is obviously different under the influence of the source of the waste water. Pollutants in the condensed wastewater come from an air conditioning system and mainly comprise micromolecular organic matters (ethanol, glycol and the like), inorganic matters (mainly ammonia) and bacteria; the sanitary wastewater contains inorganic salt, organic matter and bacteria from sweat and sebum, and also contains surfactant and skin care agent for cleaning; among the three types of wastewater, the urine wastewater has the most complex water quality components, contains dozens of inorganic salts and a large amount of small molecular organic matters, and is difficult to treat space wastewater.
Recovery is an important issue that must be considered for spatial wastewater treatment. Taking urine wastewater as an example, according to the test result of NASA on real urine in early years, the osmotic pressure of urine is obviously increased along with the increase of water recovery rate, and when the recovery rate exceeds 75%, the water can not be separated by adopting the conventional pressure filtration technology. When the evaporation technology is adopted for treatment, the urine steam partial pressure is reduced along with the concentration of the waste water, and when the water recovery rate exceeds 95 percent, the evaporation mass transfer driving force is possibly insufficient, and the water yield is seriously influenced. At present, the urine wastewater recovery rate of the international space station is about 75%, and 25% of concentrated water cannot be treated and can only be stored as waste. In a remote space task, if the water recovery rate cannot be improved, the storage volume of the concentrated water is increased, the concentrated water occupies a limited cabin space, and hidden dangers such as microorganism propagation, waste liquid and waste gas leakage exist.
Therefore, the development of a high-recovery-rate space station wastewater treatment process for realizing closed-loop treatment and recycling of wastewater is urgently needed.

(3) the distillate and the condensed water obtained in the step (1) and the desalted liquid generated by the reverse osmosis system B in the step (2) are converged with the condensed wastewater in the space station and sent into the reverse osmosis system A for treatment, and the desalted liquid generated by the reverse osmosis system A is recycled to each water consumption point after being disinfected and sterilized;
(4) concentrated solution generated by the reverse osmosis system A and the reverse osmosis system B is converged, enters the supercritical water oxidation system for treatment to remove organic matters, and then enters the membrane distillation system to realize circulation treatment.
Further, the latent heat generated in the condensation process of the water vapor can be collected in the step (1) and used for preheating the urine, so that the energy consumption required by heating in the membrane distillation process is reduced.

As shown in fig. 1, a multi-membrane coupling process for space station wastewater treatment specifically comprises the following steps:
