Description

Forward osmosis-electric salt difference energy efficient continuous power generation device based on porous medium
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of salt difference energy power generation, in particular to a forward osmosis-electric salt difference energy efficient continuous power generation device based on a porous medium, which has high system mass transfer efficiency, high system energy conversion efficiency and good system continuous stable operation performance.
Background
With the increasing global environmental pollution and energy crisis, the development and utilization of clean and renewable energy sources and the reduction of carbon emission have become the development trend of the world society and have important strategic significance. The natural energy contained in the ocean and generated by the special environment of the ocean, namely ocean energy, which accounts for about 70 percent of the surface area of the earth, is a green renewable energy with huge potential, and the energy is hardly limited by climatic conditions and has the characteristics of being green, stable, abundant in reserves, continuously renewable and the like.
The salt tolerance energy is the second largest energy form among many ocean energies and mainly exists at the mouth of a river. The scientific meaning of the method is that the chemical potential difference energy between two liquids with different salt concentrations can be converted into electric energy by utilizing a certain energy conversion mode. Due to the wide ocean coverage of the earth, river entrances distributed on the coastline are more densely distributed around the world with a theoretical content of about 1650 TWh/a (trillion watt-hours/year). In addition, the salt difference can be effectively utilized in salt lakes with rich fresh water and underground mineral salt areas. The salt difference energy can be directly used for generating electricity to meet daily production and living requirements of people, and can also be used for compensating electricity consumption in certain main production processes in a compensatory electricity generation process, so that the overall production efficiency is improved. At present, although scholars at home and abroad have achieved certain research results in the aspects of exploration and research and development of the salt-difference energy power generation technology, large-scale production application cannot be achieved due to the high cost of the salt-difference energy power generation system and the relatively low overall power generation efficiency. However, since the salt difference energy has the advantages of cleanness, reproducibility, wide occupied area, flexible applicability and the like, the development and research of the salt difference energy technology can inevitably open up a new road for solving the problem of energy shortage, developing and utilizing renewable energy sources and guaranteeing the sustainable development of economy in the long term benefit. Therefore, exploring the high-performance salt difference energy conversion mechanism, constructing a corresponding macroscopic high-efficiency power generation prototype device, and providing a systematic scientific theory and experimental support for realizing stable and large-scale power generation by the salt difference energy become important research subjects of current researchers.
A Forward Osmosis (FO) based POWER generation device and METHOD (PCT/SG 2012/000187-A Power GENERATING DEVICE, AND A METHOD OF GENERATING POWER BY FORWARD OSMOSIS) discloses a salt capacity POWER generation technology, which comprises two mass transfer processes: the forward osmosis process and the pressure-driven electric energy conversion process correspond to core elements of a semipermeable membrane and porous glass for providing a micro-nano channel respectively. The forward osmosis process refers to a mass transfer process in which water molecules in a solution spontaneously diffuse from a low-concentration solution region to a high-concentration solution region through a semipermeable membrane without external pressure input. The pressure-driven Electric energy conversion process means that when the micro-nano channel is in contact with an aqueous solution, excess ions in an Electric Double Layer (EDL) on the surface of the channel move forward under the action of a pressure field to form an Electric current; meanwhile, the surplus ions are gathered at the downstream end of the channel under the action of electrostatic force, so that an electromotive potential is generated; the resulting electromotive current and electromotive potential can supply electrical energy to an external circuit through electrodes placed on both sides of the porous glass. When the FO-EK salt differential energy power generation system operates, the spontaneously generated fluid flow in the osmosis module drives the fluid in the system to flow through the electric module, thereby generating electric energy which can be collected and utilized.
Compared with the traditional mainstream salt energy production power generation technology (namely, Pressure Retarded osmotic Pressure (PRO) and Reverse Electrodialysis (RED)), the technology skillfully uses the Pressure-driven electric energy conversion device to replace a mechanical water turbine power generation device in the PRO power generation technology, and the Pressure generated inside the system is far less than the Pressure in the PRO power generation system, so that the strength requirement on the semi-permeable membrane is greatly reduced, the service life of the semi-permeable membrane can be obviously prolonged, and finally, the membrane cost and the system operation cost can be greatly reduced. Meanwhile, the power generation technology realizes the power generation process by means of a pressure-driven electric energy conversion mechanism by virtue of a porous medium containing micro-nano channels, and compared with an ion exchange membrane applied to the RED power generation technology, the porous medium can be made of a wide material source and is low in cost, so that the FO-EK salt difference energy power generation technology is more suitable for future large-scale batch production.
Although the FO-EK salt poor energy power generation technology has a plurality of advantages, the energy conversion efficiency is far away from the energy conversion efficiency standard required by industrialized production, and the analysis and summary mainly have the following three technical defects:
(1) the mass transfer efficiency of the system is low
The forward osmosis device is used for researching the power generation performance of the system, the used membrane material is a planar membrane material, and the used osmosis cavity is a large-scale square cavity. According to the experience related to the mature reverse osmosis, the structure has very small effective mass transfer membrane area, and the concentrated solution which plays a role in the forward osmosis process is mainly concentrated on a thin layer (with the thickness of about 10) on the surface of the semi-permeable membrane due to the large cavity volume2Mum or so) and therefore the concentrated solution in the cavity far from the semipermeable membrane cannot exert the advantage of high osmotic pressure in time, resulting in mass transfer efficiency far lower than that of the roll-type reverse osmosis membrane element popular in the market.
(2) The system has poor energy conversion efficiency
For the porous medium of the core element for electric energy conversion, the power generation technology selects porous glass and porous polymerBulk dielectric materials such as porous ceramics. From electrokinetic energy conversion studies, it is known that the amount of surface charge of a microchannel and the size of the microchannel play a crucial role in the energy conversion process. First, the surface charge amount of the dielectric material used in the power generation technology is relatively low compared to that of some new materials (such as a single layer of molybdenum disulfide, a single layer of graphene, and porous materials such as aluminum oxide). Secondly, the dielectric block material micro-channel used by the power generation technology has different aperture sizes, and can generate the nano-channel aperture (the order of magnitude is about 1nm-10 nm) with high efficient electric energy conversion efficiency2nm) are extremely small, mostly concentrated on the order of μm where the efficiency of electrokinetic energy conversion is low. Therefore, the lower electrical energy conversion efficiency results in a relatively lower overall system energy conversion efficiency for this inventive design.
(3) The system has poor continuous and stable running performance
According to the design of the forward osmosis device, the concentrated solution is injected into the concentrated solution cavity at one time, and the concentrated solution near the semipermeable membrane is continuously diluted along with the continuous forward osmosis process, so that an ECP (External Concentration Polarization) phenomenon is generated. A great deal of research shows that the concentration polarization phenomenon is one of the main inducers for reducing the permeation efficiency and the permeation flow of the forward osmosis semipermeable membrane. For the design of the invention, the concentrated solution is diluted by the permeated water molecules, so that the permeation rate is reduced continuously, which means that the power for triggering energy conversion is lower and lower until the power approaches zero. Therefore, the designed operation mode of the invention can not provide constant power for the electric energy conversion module, and finally, the continuous stable operation performance of the system is poor.

The semi-permeable membrane is soft and cannot be shaped, so that a membrane channel formed by gluing the semi-permeable membrane needs a certain framework to support a channel structure of the membrane channel. The technology that is comparatively ripe in the infiltration research field at present stage is reverse osmosis, and the graticule mesh structure that the thickness is less than 1mm is applied to the formula of book reverse osmosis membrane element that generally uses in this technology provides the runner for dense, weak solution, and this graticule mesh structure not only can make solution evenly reach the pellicle surface, more can provide the disturbance of certain degree to improve infiltration mass transfer efficiency greatly.

Secondly, a salt water circulating system is embedded in the forward osmosis module 5, and the circulating system can enable salt water in the forward osmosis module 5 to generate effective and stable tangential motion, so that the concentration polarization phenomenon in the forward osmosis process is greatly reduced, and the forward osmosis mass transfer efficiency is greatly enhanced; and because the salt water is continuously updated in the operation process, constant power can be provided for the energy conversion of the electric module 2, so that the system can continuously and stably operate. The defect of poor continuous and stable operation performance of the system in the prior art is overcome.
Finally, the forward osmosis unit 14 was designed with the following 4 major features: 1) the forward osmosis flow channel is supported by a grid structure, the thickness of the forward osmosis flow channel is controlled to be the thickness of an effective fluid osmosis thin layer, the grid structure can enable fresh water and salt water to uniformly reach the surface of the semipermeable membrane, and can provide a certain degree of tangential disturbance to reduce the concentration polarization phenomenon at two sides of the semipermeable membrane; 2) except that the saline water in the upper edge flow channel and the lower edge flow channel of the forward osmosis channel layer 17 is subjected to single-side osmosis, the saline water in other saline water flow channels is subjected to efficient double-side osmosis, and the arrangement can enable the effective osmotic pressure of the saline water to be efficiently utilized; 3) the staggered flow channel layout can also make the effective osmotic pressure of the salt water be efficiently utilized; 4) compared with a roll type reverse osmosis membrane structure, the forward osmosis flow channel is designed into a plane osmosis structure, so that the flow resistance can be efficiently reduced, and the energy loss of a system is reduced; the mass transfer efficiency of the osmotic mass transfer module is greatly improved by the four characteristics, and the defect of low mass transfer efficiency of the system in the prior art is greatly overcome.
The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical idea of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereby, and any modification made on the basis of the technical scheme according to the technical idea proposed by the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention; the technology not related to the invention can be realized by the prior art.
