Description
v - 1 Filter Cleaning This invention relates to the electrochemical
cleaning of electrically conducting filters.
Filtration is a widely used industrial process and the fouling of filters can be a considerable problem, especially in microfiltration and ultrafiltration. Such fouling tends to reduce filtrate fluxes, and the need for -cleaning treatment increases the complexity of filtration equipment, involves loss of time, and may decrease filter membrane lifetime. Conventionally such cleaning treatment has involved chemical dissolution of foulant material, or backwashing.
is An electrochemical cleaning process, applicable where the filter medium is electrically conducting, is described in GB 2 160 545 B. In this process an electrochemical cell is established comprising the filter as a first electrode, a counter electrode, and with the process liquid as the electrolyte. At intervals during the filtration process a potential difference is applied between the first electrode and the counter electrode so as to generate at the filter a gaseous product, which may be in the form of microbubbles, and which cleans the filter. For example, a current of 50-300 mA/cM2 of membrane might be applied for 1-5 seconds periodically between 4-15 times/hour. This process is applicable for example where the filters are metallic microporous membranes such as those of stainless steel mesh or sintered stainless steel, microporous graphite membranes, or microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes of conducting ceramics such as doped titania or zirconia.
It will be appreciated that in this electrochemical cleaning process the counter electrode is continuously exposed to the process liquid. During the cleaning operation the counter electrode would typically be made the k anode (in order to minimize corrosion of the filter), while for most of the time it would not be connected to any electrical supply. If the counter electrode is not to need replacing at frequent intervals it must be of a material which is not significantly corroded in either of these electrical states. Hitherto platinised titanium has been found to be a suitable material, but is expensive.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of cleaning a porous electrically conducting filter during use of the filter in the filtration of an aqueous process liquid, the method comprising arranging a counter electrode in contact with the process liquid so that the filter, the process liquid and the counter electrode together constitute an electrochemical cell, and periodically applying a potential difference between the filter and the counter electrode so as to generate by electrolysis a gaseous product at the filter and so to clean the filter, wherein the counter electrode comprises a low chromium stainless steel.
The preferred material of the counter electrode is stainless steel with between 5% and 12% chromium, preferably 9% chromium. Such a counter electrode is comparatively cheap, but can be expected.to suffer little corrosion either when the potential difference is not applied, or when the counter electrode is an anode. A practical electrode of this material can be expected to lose less than 1 mm, in thickness as a result of corrosion over a 25 year period of use.
By comparison it should be appreciated that ordinary stainless steel (containing 18% chromium), although nonreactive in the intervals between applications of the potential difference, tends to dissolve more rapidly when Z it is made an anode.
Experiments have been carried out using three different stainless steels (types 321, 304L and 316L) and two lower chromium steels (Fl, and BJ10 from Kobe steel), to assess the rate of dissolution when an anode made of such a steel is subjected to a continuous flow of current. In each experiment two anodes of the same metal were arranged on opposite sides but spaced apart from a common cathode, the outward facing surfaces of both anodes being insulated, and all three electrodes were immersed in an electrolyte. The compositions of these steels is given in Table I.

- 4 The experiments were conducted at 21'C in 0.1M NaN03 at pH 10 under d.c. conditions of 150 mA/CM2 of exposed anode surface. After 30 hours, the mean weight lossest W, shown in Table II were measured. In every case, the anodes had a bright finish on removal from the electrolyte and were not fouled by any corrosion products. However, in those cases where significant dissolution had occurred, the test solutions had turned a dark opaque brown colour due to the precipitation of Fe(M3. As can be seen, the lower chrome alloys corroded significantly less than the austenitic stainless steels - with the 9% Cr alloy being particularly impressive.
TABLE II
A1 loy:
321 304L 316L Fl BJ10 W/ 9 m-Z h -1 26.4 36.2 23.2 3.0 1.2 It is believed that the main process causing surface dissolution is the oxidation of the Cr content in the alloy to soluble Cr03- In alloys of >,, 18%, the Cr forms a continuous interconnected network in the hydrous oxide passive film, and thus allows channels to be dissolved in it. In this way, sections of oxide film are undercut and dissolution is able to continue. At low Cr contents, however, the probability of this occurring is reduced, thus decreasing the rate of corrosion. When the applied potential is in the oxygen evolution region, this process is simply superimposed on the substrate corrosion.
Further experiments with the 9% chromium alloy have been performed to find how the rate of weight loss depends on current density, and on the nature of the current. With a continuous current, and for an electrolyte of 0.1 M NaN03 Of PH 5P the rate of weight loss increases with current density from about 0.5 g In-2 h-1 at 100 mA/cm2 to about 2.0 g m- 2 h-1 at 300 mA/cm2. With an electrolyte of 0.1 M NaN03 of pH 10 the experimental results showed more scatter, and increased from about 1 g m- 2 h-1 at 100 mA/cm2 to about 2.5 g m-2 h-1 at 300 mA/cM2. With the pH 10 electrolyte and with a pulsing current (on for Ss, off for 20s) at 150 mA/cm2 the rate of weight loss was slightly higher than for the same steady current, possibly because the intervals between pulses were too short for surface passivation to occur. being about 2.1 g m-2 h-1.
Taking the worst measured rate of weight loss of 2.8 g m-2 h-1 (observed at pH 10 and 300 mA/cm2) and assuming a filter is cleaned four times an hour with a Ss pulse, the filter being operated for 200 days a year, then in an operating life of 25 years the anode experiences this current for a total time:
t = 667 hours and so the expected weight loss would be:
M 1870 g/r.12 which corresponds to a linear surface removal of:
x = 0. 24 mm This can be expected to have negligible effect on the operation of the filter unit.
The cleaning process of the invention can for example be applied to a filter formed by a sintered stainless-steel fibre membrane. Such a membrane with a pore size of about 3 microns and with an asymmetric structure (with coarser c Z structure and larger pores up to about 10 microns on one surface than the other) can be used for microfiltration. It has been found that if this membrane is used with the coarser surface facing the liquid to be filtered, so a fouling layer builds up on that surface, regular use of the electrical cleaning process of the invention enables the bulk of the fouling layer to be removed, and so enhances filtrate throughput. Surprisingly it has been found that under these circumstances the filter provides as good a rejection of fines as in ultrafiltration, that is to say it acts as if the pore size was less than 0.1 microns. This is due to the filtering action of the fouling layer which remains in the pores of the membrane despite the electrical cleaning. Thus ultrafiltration of the liquid can readily be achieved much more cheaply, and with greater filtrate throughput, than with a conventional ultrafiltration membrane.
For example where a liquid contained iron hydroxide and also colloidal plutonium oxide, the iron hydroxide built up a fouling layer which prevented passage of the plutonium, oxide into the filtrate as effectively as an ultrafiltration membrane. The microfiltration membrane preferably has pore sizes no larger than about 10 microns, desirably no more than 5 microns, or it.is difficult to build up a fouling layer. The membrane must be such that during the cleaning process the gas bubbles preferentially displace the outer parts of the fouling layer rather than passing through and emerging from the rear surface of the membrane, and the use of an asymmetric membrane as described above ensures that this occurs.
