Definitions
- a method and a device for electrofiltration are claimed.
- the separation of mixtures is a common problem in the industrial production of substances. Liquid phases containing solids are particularly frequent. These solids, some of which are very small solid particles in the liquid phases, often have to be removed from the liquids before they can be processed further. Such a separation task is e.g. in the beverage industry, where juices are to be separated from the finest solid components, or when cleaning waste water. In the industrial production of plastics, there are often also emulsions or latices in which the plastics are finely distributed in a solution. In this case, the plastic can be separated from the liquid by filtration, in particular by micro- or ultrafiltration. The retentate can be processed further.
- Membranes have long been used to separate mixtures of substances. With synthetic membranes, a distinction is made between organic and inorganic membranes.
- Membranes are usually made of plastics or inorganic components, e.g. Oxides used.
- Oxides used in the known processes in which these membranes are used, e.g. filtration, there is always the problem that the membranes clog after a relatively short period of use.
- classic cross-flow filtration there is a temporal decrease in the transmembrane permeate flow due to deposits on the membrane surface, which means that the amount of substance that flows through the membrane at constant pressure decreases.
- WO 99/15260 also describes a method for separating mixtures of substances by means of a permeable material.
- this method it is proposed to use the material as a so-called membrane electrode and through this membrane brief application of an electrical voltage due to the development of gas bubbles in aqueous solutions.
- This method also requires a counterelectrode the size of the membrane electrode, which, as is generally known, preferably consists of a noble metal.
- the methods described have the disadvantage that the size of the area of the counterelectrode has to correspond almost to the size of the area of the membrane electrode used in order to achieve a uniform gas bubble development.
- expensive metals such as Titanium, iridium, platinum, palladium and gold are used means a high use of materials at the same time high costs.
- expanded metal or grid electrodes attempts are sometimes made to reduce these costs.
- Such electrodes often have a basic structure made of titanium, which is coated with mixed metal oxides.
- Such electrode materials are e.g. available from Heraeus, Degussa-Hüls or Metakem.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a method and a device in which the material expenditure for the counterelectrode is less and an improved filtration performance can be achieved.
- the present invention therefore relates to a method according to claim 1 for Electrofiltration, in which a membrane electrode is cleaned by gas bubble development, which is characterized in that the membrane electrode used is moved.
- the present invention also relates to a device for electrofiltration, which is characterized in that it comprises at least one rotating membrane electrode and at least one counter electrode which has a smaller shape or contour than the membrane electrode.
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that longer filter service lives can be achieved while improving the filtration performance.
- the device according to the invention has the advantage that a significantly smaller counterelectrode can be used than in conventional devices, and as a result of this considerable material saving, the costs for the device are significantly lower than in conventional devices according to the prior art.
- the method according to the invention for the electrofiltration of substance mixtures is based on the cross-flow principle in combination with an electrofiltration in which a membrane electrode is cleaned by gas bubble development.
- the filtration performance drops over time due to fouling or other processes on the membrane surface. If the filtration capacity in the device according to the invention drops below a certain limit value, the membrane surfaces are cleaned by applying an electrical current.
- the membrane electrode is moved in the method according to the invention and in this way an attempt is made to keep the majority of the solids in suspension ,
- the membrane electrode moves both during the filtration and during the cleaning process. It may be advantageous to reduce the pressure at which the liquid to be filtered is pressed against the retentate side of the membrane electrode during the cleaning process.
- the pressure ratios during the cleaning process are preferably set such that the pressure on the retentate and permeate sides of the membrane electrode is the same. It may be advantageous to set the pressure on the permeate side of the membrane electrode higher during the cleaning process than on the retentate side in order to generate a current from the permeate side to the retentate side of the membrane electrode, which can support the cleaning process in which solid particles detached by gas bubble development from the membrane electrode be carried away.
- the pressure conditions are set again to the optimal conditions for the filtration. Usual pressures during the filtration are, for example, a feed pressure of 1.2 to 6 bar, a pressure in the retentate outlet of 1 to 6 bar and a pressure on the permeate side of the membrane from 5.8 to 0.2 bar.
- the cleaning process itself is known from the literature described above and is based on the fact that a voltage is applied to a membrane electrode which is sufficiently high to electrolyze one of the liquids present in the substance mixture to be filtered. Water is preferably electrolyzed.
- a voltage is applied to a membrane electrode which is sufficiently high to electrolyze one of the liquids present in the substance mixture to be filtered. Water is preferably electrolyzed.
- gas bubbles of hydrogen or oxygen form on the membrane electrode.
- the movement of the membrane electrode is preferably a rotation.
- Rotational centrifugal forces generate currents on the membrane electrode surface, which transport the solid particles detached by the gas bubble development to the outside of a rotating, circular or almost circular membrane electrode.
- the solid particles can be removed from the outside of the membrane electrode, for example with the retentate stream.
- the cleaning of the membrane electrode surface by means of gas bubble development is significantly improved by the movement of the membrane electrode, in particular by the rotating movement of the membrane electrode.
- the membrane electrode particularly preferably rotates more slowly during the cleaning or the cleaning process than during the filtration or the filtration process.

- a permanent voltage is preferably used during the cleaning process.
- each area of the membrane electrode is at least once during the cleaning process at a sufficiently small distance from the counter electrode.
- gas bubbles develop only in the area of the counter electrodes, since the electric field is strongest here.
- the membrane electrodes are guided past the counter electrodes by slowly rotating the membrane electrode stack.
- the method according to the invention can also be used advantageously in dead-end filtration. With this filtration method it is not possible to achieve a sufficiently high overflow rate of the liquid to be filtered through the membrane.
- the method according to the invention offers the possibility of simulating or achieving an overflow rate by moving the membrane electrode according to the invention.
- Dead-end filtration is also preferably carried out with a feed pressure of 1.2 to 6 bar and a pressure on the permeate side of the membrane of 5.8 to 0.2 bar.
- this device which is also referred to below as an electrofiltration module, has at least one rotating membrane electrode and at least one counter electrode.
- the counter electrode preferably has a smaller surface area than the membrane electrode. The rotation of the membrane electrode leads all areas of the membrane electrode surface past the counter electrode.
- the membrane electrodes comprise an inorganic membrane that conducts the electrical current.
- the membrane electrode preferably comprises an inorganic membrane which was produced on the basis of an open -work carrier which conducts the electrical current and which was provided with an inorganic, material-permeable coating comprising titanium dioxide.
- the membrane according to the invention can preferably be negatively charged by applying an electrical current. Permeable for the purposes of the present invention means that the coating has pores. Depending on the intended use (filtration project), membranes can be used which have suitable maximum pore sizes, so that particles which are larger than the maximum pore size are retained during filtration.
- membrane cushions arranged on an axis are used as membrane electrodes, which preferably have a thickness of 1 mm to 30 mm, particularly preferably of 1 mm to 10 mm. It is also possible to use thinner membrane cushions, with restrictions in the dimensions being imposed by the necessary stability and / or separation performance.

- the membrane cushions preferably have an opening or bore in their center, the outer diameter of which is from 1 to 9 cm.
- the opening or bore very particularly preferably has an outer diameter which corresponds to the outer diameter of the shaft or axis.
- membranes that are at least partially electrically conductive are suitable for producing the membrane cushions used as membrane electrodes.
- Membranes are preferred predominantly used from inorganic constituents, such as ceramic membrane or metal membrane. The production of such ceramic membranes is described, for example, in WO 99/15260, WO 99/15262 or WO 96/00198.
- Metal membranes can be, for example, metal nets or mesh. Inorganic membranes that are flexible or bendable are very particularly preferably used.
- the membrane cushions are e.g. obtainable in that at least one inorganic membrane, which preferably has at least partially electrically conductive properties, is attached to a porous carrier disk or a round or almost round, disk-shaped holder which has a recess, preferably a round recess, in the middle.

- the counter electrodes of the device according to the invention are preferably made of Ti, Ir, Pt, Au, Pd or alloys which contain these metals.

- the drain from the chamber can be opened briefly to flush the cleaned particles out of the chamber.
- counter electrodes there is also at least one counter electrode in the chamber.
- non-conductive shells may be attached to the head of some electrodes and to design the counter electrodes so long that the non-conductive shells lie on the shaft as bearing shells.
- the shaft and thus the membrane electrode stack and the counter electrodes are connected to a current source in such a way that the membrane electrode stack is connected to one pole and the counter electrodes are connected to the other pole.
- the current source supplies current with a voltage of at least 1.5 V.
- Direct or alternating current can be used, preferably direct current is used.
- the direct current is very particularly preferably used in such a way that the membrane electrode stack is switched as the cathode and the counterelectrodes are switched as the anode.
- the device according to the invention can be used to carry out the method according to the invention for increasing the filtration performance of membrane filtration systems in the filtration of substance mixtures e.g. according to the cross-flow or dead-end principle.
- Fig. 1 an electrofiltration module according to the invention is shown schematically.
- a chamber Ka which has an inlet Ei and an outlet Au
- a shaft W on which a plurality of membrane pads are arranged as membrane electrodes M.
- the membrane electrodes are electrically connected to the negative pole of the power source (-) via the shaft W, which is hollow and through which the permeate Pe can be removed.
- the shaft is attached so that it can be rotated.
- Rod electrodes S are installed between the membrane electrodes M, which are connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner and are connected together to the positive pole of the current source (+).
- the membrane cushions according to the invention are shown schematically.
- the views labeled MK la and MK 2a represent a section through a membrane cushion according to the invention.
- the views labeled MK lb and MK 2b represent the Membrane cushions in supervision.
- FIG. 3 shows four possible arrangements of rod electrodes S in comparison to the membrane electrodes Ml to M4.
- two possible arrangements of pie-shaped counterelectrodes T which have the contour of a circular or ring section, are shown as examples in comparison to the membrane electrodes M5 and M6.
- FIG. 4 shows the basic functioning of an electrofiltration.
- electrofiltration as can also be carried out with the electrofiltration module according to the invention, a stream of material to be filtered is circulated through a filtration module FM. Due to the different pressure on both sides of the filtration membrane, a part of the feed stream Fe, purified as permeate Pe, passes through the filtration membrane Mem into the permeate chamber. The majority of the feed stream, as well as the particles retained by the filtration membrane, return as retentate R to the feed template FV.
- FIG. 5 shows the basic functioning of an electrofiltration based on the dead-end principle.
- a material flow Feed) Fe 'to be filtered is moved from the feed template FV into a filtration module FM'. Due to the different pressure on both sides of the filtration membrane Mem ', a part of the feed stream reaches the permeate chamber in a purified form as permeate Pe' through the filtration membrane.
- a filtration device In a filtration device according to the invention, electrofiltration of a 1% polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) latex was carried out at different rotation speeds.
- the filtration device had a membrane electrode with an outer diameter of 10 cm.
- the membrane used to manufacture the membrane electrode had an average pore size of 0.08 ⁇ m.
- two platinum-coated rod electrodes with a round profile, a length of 10 cm and a diameter of 5 mm made of titanium were used as counter electrodes (anodes).
- the stick electrodes were arranged parallel to one another above and below the membrane electrode at a distance of 5 mm from the membrane electrode.
- test C For comparison purposes, a test was carried out in test C, in which the test parameters were identical to those from test A, except that no current was applied to the membrane electrode.
- Disc electrodes were also used as counter electrodes in experiment D for comparison purposes. These were also platinum-coated discs or rings made of titanium, which in turn were arranged above and below the membrane electrode at a distance of 5 mm parallel to the membrane electrode. In contrast to the membrane electrode, the disk electrodes were not fastened movably.
- experiment F pie electrodes with a circular section of 180 ° were used as electrodes, which were congruent, parallel above and below the membrane electrode.
- the rotation speed was 10 min "1 .
- experiment E the filtering was first carried out at a rotation speed of 1 min "1 for a period of 4.5 hours without applying a current. After this period, a current of 2 A was applied.
- Curve G shows a similar course to curve B, which is not surprising since both curves show the course of the permeate flow in the case of an electroless filtration.
- Curves F and H are almost identical and are similar to the curve of curve D. Filtration with a disk electrode (360 ° circle) or with a cake electrode (180 ° circle) shows little difference at a rotation speed of 10 min "1 .
- curve F shows that when a cake electrode with a circular section of 180 ° and a rotation speed of the membrane electrode of 10 min "1 is used, the gas bubble development is still virtually permanent and thus poor filtration results are obtained, as when using a For this reason, the use of electrodes that are not too large should be aimed at, or the rotation speed should be reduced accordingly when using large electrodes (circular section 180 °).
