Description

本発明は、逆浸透膜の再利用方法に関するものであり、詳しくは、透水性および耐汚染性を向上できる、膜汚染物質を含む被処理水の処理に利用可能な、逆浸透膜の再利用方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for reusing a reverse osmosis membrane, and more specifically, the reuse of a reverse osmosis membrane that can improve water permeability and contamination resistance and can be used for treatment of water to be treated containing membrane contaminants. It is about the method.

逆浸透膜に代表される選択性透過膜の再利用は、資源有効利用の見地から広く行われている。
例えば、下記特許文献1(特許第3442355号明細書)には、浸漬型膜分離装置の運転状況および活性汚泥の性状を的確に把握して適時に、低コストでメンテナンスすることを目的とする浸漬型膜分離装置のメンテナンスサービスシステムが開示されている。
また、下記特許文献2(特公昭52−43629号公報)には、ボイラー給水の脱塩用に使用して耐用期間が切れた劣化した膜を油分離装置として利用する技術が記載されている。
Reuse of selective permeable membranes represented by reverse osmosis membranes is widely performed from the viewpoint of effective resource utilization.
For example, in the following Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent No. 3442355), an immersion for the purpose of accurately grasping the operation status of the submerged membrane separation apparatus and the properties of the activated sludge and performing maintenance at a low cost in a timely manner. A maintenance service system for a mold membrane separation apparatus is disclosed.
Further, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-43629) described below describes a technique in which a deteriorated membrane that has been used for demineralization of boiler feed water and has expired is used as an oil separator.

一般的に、超純水や用水の製造に用いられる逆浸透膜は、脱塩率やシリカ除去率等が低下すると交換する必要がある。しかし、このような製造系に使用された逆浸透膜は、汚染の度合いが低く、再利用できる可能性が高い。そこで、前記特許文献2に開示された技術は、ボイラー給水系の使用済み逆浸透膜を油分含有排水の処理に用いることを提案しているが、単なる転用では、産業排水に含まれる有機物からなる膜汚染物質によって、急激に透過流束が低下する恐れがある。例えば、膜汚染物質が10ppm存在すると、急激に透過流束が低下する。このため、被処理水をオゾン酸化処理または活性炭吸着処理に施し、予め改質しておく手段も考えられるが、確実な処理を施すほどコスト高になることは否めない。   Generally, reverse osmosis membranes used for the production of ultrapure water and water for use need to be replaced when the desalination rate, silica removal rate, etc. are reduced. However, the reverse osmosis membrane used in such a production system has a low degree of contamination and is likely to be reusable. Therefore, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 proposes to use the used reverse osmosis membrane of the boiler feed water system for the treatment of oil-containing wastewater, but in mere diversion, it consists of organic matter contained in industrial wastewater. Membrane contaminants can cause the permeation flux to drop rapidly. For example, if 10 ppm of membrane contaminants are present, the permeation flux will drop rapidly. For this reason, it is conceivable that the water to be treated is subjected to ozone oxidation treatment or activated carbon adsorption treatment and reformed in advance, but it cannot be denied that the cost increases as reliable treatment is performed.

また、膜汚染物質やバイオファウリングに対して耐性を有する低汚染性膜も膜メーカーから市販されているが、これらの膜は排水の処理を目的に製造されたものであり、膜汚染物質を含む被処理水の使用が前提になっている。すなわち、一般的な逆浸透膜や、使用済みの逆浸透膜に対して何らかの処理を施して、透水性および耐汚染性を向上させ、膜汚染物質を含む被処理水の処理に再利用する方法は、従来技術には存在しない。
特許第3442355号明細書 特公昭52−43629号公報
In addition, membrane contaminants and low-fouling membranes that are resistant to biofouling are also commercially available from membrane manufacturers. These membranes are manufactured for the purpose of wastewater treatment, It is premised on the use of water to be treated. That is, a general reverse osmosis membrane or a used reverse osmosis membrane is subjected to some treatment to improve water permeability and contamination resistance, and reused for treatment of water to be treated containing membrane contaminants. Does not exist in the prior art.

以下、本発明をさらに詳細に説明する。
本発明で使用される酸化剤は、250〜500mVの酸化還元電位を示す酸化剤である必要がある。一般的に逆浸透膜は、酸化処理に施すと脱塩率が低下し、本来の目的を果たせなくなる。しかしながら本発明者の検討によれば、250〜500mVという特定の酸化還元電位の範囲を有する酸化剤を用い、脱塩率を90%以上にすることにより、透過流束を向上させ、しかも膜汚染物質に対する耐性も高まることを見出した。
なお、さらに好ましい酸化剤は、350〜450mVの酸化還元電位の範囲を有する酸化剤である。
本発明の目的に用いられる酸化剤としては、過酸化水素、過酢酸またはその塩、過炭酸またはその塩等が挙げられる。本発明において酸化剤は脱塩率を一定以上に維持しつつ改質を行うものであり、濃度や改質時間、取扱性等の点から過酸化水素が好ましい例として挙げられる。過酸化水素は、入手が容易であり、TOC成分を含まず、酸化還元電位が400mV程度であり、穏和な条件で逆浸透膜に対する酸化・親水化処理(以下、改質反応という)を行うことができる。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
The oxidizing agent used in the present invention needs to be an oxidizing agent that exhibits a redox potential of 250 to 500 mV. Generally, when a reverse osmosis membrane is subjected to an oxidation treatment, the desalination rate decreases, and the original purpose cannot be achieved. However, according to the study of the present inventors, an oxidant having a specific redox potential range of 250 to 500 mV is used, and the desalination rate is set to 90% or more, so that the permeation flux is improved and the membrane is contaminated. It has been found that resistance to substances is also increased.
A more preferable oxidizing agent is an oxidizing agent having a redox potential range of 350 to 450 mV.
Examples of the oxidizing agent used for the purpose of the present invention include hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid or a salt thereof, percarbonate or a salt thereof. In the present invention, the oxidizing agent performs reforming while maintaining the desalination rate at a certain level or more, and hydrogen peroxide is a preferred example in terms of concentration, reforming time, handling property, and the like. Hydrogen peroxide is easily available, does not contain a TOC component, has an oxidation-reduction potential of about 400 mV, and performs oxidation / hydrophilization treatment (hereinafter referred to as a reforming reaction) on the reverse osmosis membrane under mild conditions. Can do.

酸化還元電位が500mVを超える酸化剤、あるいは酸化剤を含む水溶液、例えば次亜塩素酸ナトリウム水溶液を用いた場合、反応性が高いため、脱塩率を高く保ったまま改質反応を行うことが困難である。例えば、逆浸透膜として芳香族ポリアミド膜を次亜塩素酸ナトリウム水溶液で改質反応すると、塩素によってアミド結合の水素が攻撃され、主鎖切断、キノンの形成、芳香環への塩素置換が生じる。
一方、例えば酸化還元電位が400mV程度である過酸化水素を使用した場合は、上記の塩素系酸化剤とは異なる反応機構が存在することを、本発明者は見出した。まず、非荷電性親水基であるヒドロキシル基の芳香環への付加が認められた。ヒドロキシル基は、膜表面を親水化し、膜汚染物質の付着を低減する上で有効であると考えられる。また、主鎖の切断は見られるものの、キノンの形成までには至らず、カルボキシル基、アミノ基、アミノ基が酸化されたニトロ基が生成しており、脱塩率を高く維持しながら、親水性を高めることに寄与していると考えられる。したがって、本発明において処理されるべき逆浸透膜は、ポリアミド系の逆浸透膜であるのが有効である。
以下は、酸化剤として過酸化水素水溶液を用いた例について説明する。
When an oxidizing agent having an oxidation-reduction potential exceeding 500 mV, or an aqueous solution containing an oxidizing agent, for example, a sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution, is highly reactive, the reforming reaction can be performed while keeping the desalination rate high. Have difficulty. For example, when an aromatic polyamide membrane is reformed with a sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution as a reverse osmosis membrane, amide bond hydrogen is attacked by chlorine, leading to main chain cleavage, quinone formation, and chlorine substitution to the aromatic ring.
On the other hand, for example, when hydrogen peroxide having an oxidation-reduction potential of about 400 mV is used, the present inventor has found that there is a reaction mechanism different from that of the above chlorine-based oxidant. First, addition of a hydroxyl group, which is an uncharged hydrophilic group, to an aromatic ring was observed. Hydroxyl groups are believed to be effective in hydrophilizing the membrane surface and reducing adhesion of membrane contaminants. In addition, although the main chain is broken, the formation of quinone is not achieved, and a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a nitro group in which the amino group is oxidized are generated. It is thought that it contributes to improving the nature. Therefore, it is effective that the reverse osmosis membrane to be treated in the present invention is a polyamide-based reverse osmosis membrane.
In the following, an example using an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution as an oxidizing agent will be described.

改質反応条件は、0.2質量%以上の過酸化水素水溶液、好ましくは0.2〜20質量%の過酸化水素水溶液を用い、温度5〜40℃、反応時間1時間以上、好ましくは1〜100時間である。また、室温条件において、過酸化水素水溶液の過酸化水素濃度(質量%)×過酸化水素濃度(質量%)×接触時間(時間)の値が、15〜60の範囲になるのが好ましい。   As the reforming reaction conditions, a 0.2% by mass or higher hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution, preferably a 0.2 to 20% by mass hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution, a temperature of 5 to 40 ° C., a reaction time of 1 hour or more, preferably 1 is used. ~ 100 hours. Moreover, it is preferable that the value of the hydrogen peroxide concentration (mass%) x hydrogen peroxide concentration (mass%) x contact time (hour) of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution is in the range of 15 to 60 at room temperature.

前記のような改質反応により、逆浸透膜の脱塩率を90%以上に維持することができる。ここで90%以上の脱塩率とは、温度25℃、pH6.5、逆浸透膜の使用条件に適した30分運転の条件における0.05質量%のNaCl水溶液の脱塩率が90%以上であることを意味する。さらに、有機物の除去率が90%以上を保持するように改質反応することが好ましい。   By the above reforming reaction, the desalination rate of the reverse osmosis membrane can be maintained at 90% or more. Here, the desalting rate of 90% or more means that the desalting rate of a 0.05 mass% NaCl aqueous solution at a temperature of 25 ° C., pH 6.5, and a 30-minute operation suitable for the conditions of use of the reverse osmosis membrane is 90%. That means that. Furthermore, it is preferable to carry out the reforming reaction so that the organic substance removal rate is maintained at 90% or more.

また、重金属類が存在すると酸化剤との相乗効果で、逆浸透膜に対して悪影響を及ぼすことがある。あるいは、使用済みの逆浸透膜に多量の膜汚染物質が付着していると、酸化剤の効果が減じられる恐れがある。したがって、改質反応前に、前記の重金属類および膜汚染物質を除去するために、予め逆浸透膜に対し、アルカリ洗浄および酸洗浄を行うことが望ましい。   Also, the presence of heavy metals may adversely affect the reverse osmosis membrane due to a synergistic effect with the oxidizing agent. Alternatively, if a large amount of membrane contaminants adhere to the used reverse osmosis membrane, the effect of the oxidizing agent may be reduced. Therefore, prior to the reforming reaction, it is desirable to perform alkali cleaning and acid cleaning on the reverse osmosis membrane in advance in order to remove the heavy metals and membrane contaminants.

逆浸透膜の洗浄および改質反応は、逆浸透膜を収容するハウジング内で行ってもよいし、ハウジングからこれを取り出して行ってもよい。ハウジングから取り出して改質反応を行った逆浸透膜は、他に使用できる場所があれば、元のハウジングに戻す必要はない。   The washing and reforming reaction of the reverse osmosis membrane may be performed in a housing that accommodates the reverse osmosis membrane or may be performed by removing it from the housing. The reverse osmosis membrane taken out of the housing and subjected to the reforming reaction does not need to be returned to the original housing if there is another place where it can be used.

ハウジングから取り出して改質反応を行った逆浸透膜は、さらに純水によって洗浄(置換洗浄または酸化剤を低濃度にする希釈洗浄)することにより、長期保存が可能である。なお、酸化剤によって、逆浸透膜の殺菌はすでに行われている。これとは別に、還元剤を使用して、酸化剤を中和した後に保存してもよい。   The reverse osmosis membrane taken out of the housing and subjected to the reforming reaction can be stored for a long period of time by further washing with pure water (displacement washing or dilution washing with a low concentration of oxidizing agent). The reverse osmosis membrane has already been sterilized with an oxidizing agent. Alternatively, a reducing agent may be used to neutralize the oxidizing agent before storage.

処理されるべき逆浸透膜の材質としては、例えば前記のようにポリアミド系の逆浸透膜が挙げられる。また好ましい逆浸透膜としては、親水性高分子で表面修飾された逆浸透膜も挙げられる。本発明における改質反応は、このような逆浸透膜における表面修飾効果に加え、さらに改質が加えられ、膜汚染物質に対する一層の耐性が付与される。実際の改質反応は、逆浸透膜モジュールの形態で逆浸透膜の処理が行われ、そのモジュール形態にもとくに制限はなく、例えば、管状膜モジュール、平面膜モジュール、スパイラル膜モジュール、中空糸膜モジュールなどを挙げることができる。また、本発明の方法は、使用済みの逆浸透膜以外にも、未使用の逆浸透膜の改質にも利用することができる。このようにして、改質反応に施された逆浸透膜は、有機性汚染物を含む水の処理に利用するのが好ましい。   Examples of the material of the reverse osmosis membrane to be treated include a polyamide-based reverse osmosis membrane as described above. A preferable reverse osmosis membrane includes a reverse osmosis membrane surface-modified with a hydrophilic polymer. In addition to the surface modification effect in such a reverse osmosis membrane, the modification reaction in the present invention is further modified to impart further resistance to membrane contaminants. In the actual reforming reaction, a reverse osmosis membrane module is processed in the form of a reverse osmosis membrane module, and the module configuration is not particularly limited. For example, a tubular membrane module, a planar membrane module, a spiral membrane module, a hollow fiber membrane Module. Moreover, the method of this invention can be utilized also for the modification | reformation of an unused reverse osmosis membrane besides the used reverse osmosis membrane. Thus, the reverse osmosis membrane subjected to the reforming reaction is preferably used for the treatment of water containing organic contaminants.

以下、本発明を実施例および比較例によりさらに説明するが、本発明はこれらの例によって限定されるものではない。   EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example and a comparative example further demonstrate this invention, this invention is not limited by these examples.

実施例1〜3
機械部品製造会社排水処理水を被処理水(TOC=15mg/L)とし、日東電工(株)製逆浸透膜NTR−759HR(実施例1)、LF10(実施例2)、ES10(実施例3)を用いて、それぞれ1.2MPa、1.2MPa、0.75MPaの操作圧力で50時間濾過を行った。その結果、透過流束は、それぞれ0.25、0.57、0.44m/(m・d)となった。その後、pH12のアルカリ性水溶液で洗浄を行い、透過流束を初期設定の1m/(m・d)まで回復させ、さらに、1質量%過酸化水素水溶液に浸漬し、室温で48時間反応させ、膜を改質した。脱塩率は、初期設定の98%から97%に低下した。再び同じ被処理水を同じ操作圧力で50時間濾過したところ、改質したNTR−759HR、LF10、ES10の透過流束は、それぞれ0.35、0.78、0.67m/(m・d)となった。被処理水を武田薬品工業(株)製APE ELISAキットとAE ELISAキットを用いて分析したところ、アルキルフェニルエーテル(APE)タイプの界面活性剤が8mg/L含まれていることが分かった。APEタイプの界面活性剤は、有機膜汚染物質として知られており、低圧逆浸透膜(NTR−759HR)、低汚染低圧逆浸透膜(LF10)、超低圧逆浸透膜(ES10)、いずれの場合も、本発明の方法によって、有機汚染による透過流束の低下が抑制されたことが分かる。
Examples 1-3
The machine component manufacturing company wastewater treated water is treated water (TOC = 15 mg / L), and reverse osmosis membrane NTR-759HR (Example 1), LF10 (Example 2), ES10 (Example 3) manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation. ), And filtration was performed at operating pressures of 1.2 MPa, 1.2 MPa, and 0.75 MPa, respectively, for 50 hours. As a result, the permeation fluxes were 0.25, 0.57, and 0.44 m 3 / (m 2 · d), respectively. Thereafter, washing is performed with an alkaline aqueous solution of pH 12, the permeation flux is restored to the initial setting of 1 m 3 / (m 2 · d), and further immersed in a 1% by mass aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and allowed to react at room temperature for 48 hours. The membrane was modified. The desalination rate decreased from 98% of the initial setting to 97%. When the same treated water was filtered again at the same operating pressure for 50 hours, the permeation fluxes of the modified NTR-759HR, LF10, and ES10 were 0.35, 0.78, 0.67 m 3 / (m 2 · d). When the water to be treated was analyzed using APE ELISA kit and AE ELISA kit manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., it was found that 8 mg / L of alkylphenyl ether (APE) type surfactant was contained. APE type surfactants are known as organic membrane pollutants, and in any case, low pressure reverse osmosis membrane (NTR-759HR), low contamination low pressure reverse osmosis membrane (LF10), ultra low pressure reverse osmosis membrane (ES10) In addition, it can be seen that the decrease in the permeation flux due to organic contamination was suppressed by the method of the present invention.

比較例1
実施例1において、ES10を改質する際に、5質量%過酸化水素水溶液に浸漬し、室温で96時間反応させ、脱塩率を89%に低下させた。再び同じ被処理水を同じ操作圧力で50時間濾過したところ、透過流束は、0.82m/(m・d)となった。ただし、脱塩率が89%であって、膜の濾過性能が低下していることから、有機汚染物質であるAPEタイプの界面活性剤も1mg/L程度透過した。
Comparative Example 1
In Example 1, when modifying ES10, it was immersed in a 5% by mass aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and reacted at room temperature for 96 hours to reduce the desalting rate to 89%. When the same treated water was filtered again at the same operating pressure for 50 hours, the permeation flux was 0.82 m 3 / (m 2 · d). However, since the desalination rate was 89% and the filtration performance of the membrane was lowered, APE type surfactant, which is an organic contaminant, also permeated about 1 mg / L.

実施例4
電子部品製造会社工場工水を被処理水(TOC=1mg/L)とし、日東電工(株)製逆浸透膜ES10を用いて、0.75MPaの操作圧力で2000時間濾過を行った。その結果、透過流束は、それぞれ0.5m/(m・d)となった。その後、ES10のモジュールをハウジングから取り出して、pH12の水酸化ナトリウム水溶液と2%硝酸水溶液で洗浄を行い、透過流束を初期設定の1m/(m・d)まで回復させた。その後、1質量%過酸化水素水溶液に浸漬し、室温で48時間反応させ、膜を改質した。脱塩率は、初期設定の98%から97%に低下した。
続いて、改質された逆浸透膜モジュールを用い、化学系研究所排水を被処理水(TOC=0.7mg/L)として0.75MPaの操作圧力で100時間濾過を行った。その結果、透過流束は、0.65m/(m・d)に維持されていた。
Example 4
The electronic component manufacturer's factory water was treated water (TOC = 1 mg / L), and filtration was performed for 2000 hours at an operating pressure of 0.75 MPa using a reverse osmosis membrane ES10 manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation. As a result, the permeation flux was 0.5 m 3 / (m 2 · d), respectively. Thereafter, the ES10 module was taken out of the housing and washed with a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution of pH 12 and a 2% nitric acid aqueous solution to restore the permeation flux to the initial setting of 1 m 3 / (m 2 · d). Thereafter, the film was immersed in a 1% by mass aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and reacted at room temperature for 48 hours to modify the film. The desalination rate decreased from 98% of the initial setting to 97%.
Subsequently, using the modified reverse osmosis membrane module, the chemical laboratory waste water was treated as water to be treated (TOC = 0.7 mg / L) and filtered at an operating pressure of 0.75 MPa for 100 hours. As a result, the permeation flux was maintained at 0.65 m 3 / (m 2 · d).

比較例2
実施例4において、1質量%過酸化水素水溶液を用いた改質反応を行わなかったこと以外は、実施例4を繰り返した。その結果、100時間濾過後、透過流束は、0.4m/(m・d)まで低下した。したがって、被処理水の有機物汚染濃度が低いことを理由に、逆浸透膜を単に転用しただけでは、膜汚染物質によって、急激に透過流束が低下することが確認された。
Comparative Example 2
In Example 4, Example 4 was repeated except that the reforming reaction using a 1 mass% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution was not performed. As a result, after filtration for 100 hours, the permeation flux decreased to 0.4 m 3 / (m 2 · d). Therefore, it was confirmed that the permeation flux rapidly decreases due to the membrane contaminants simply by diverting the reverse osmosis membrane because the organic matter contamination concentration of the water to be treated is low.
