Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deposition of org. matter, etc., on the surface of a separating membrane and the blocking of the pores in the membrane due to the deposition by dispersing and suspending adsorptive particles in a liq. in a bioreactor provided with the membrane. CONSTITUTION:For example, when lactic bacteria are continuously cultivated in a bioreactor provided with a separating membrane such as a calcined alumina ceramic membrane, fine adsorptive particles, e.g., of activated carbon or acrylic resin are put in the bioreactor. By the strong adsorbing action of the adsorptive particles, deposits on the surface of the membrane are separated from the surface, adsorbed and held on the surfaces of the particles, so stable continuous operation is enabled over a long period without requiring frequent washing of the surface of the membrane.

Examples of the adsorbent particles added to the liquid in the bioreactor in the present invention include activated carbon fine powder and acrylic resin fine powder. These fine powders use a strong adsorption action to remove deposits from the separation membrane surface and adsorb and hold them on the particle surface. The finer the adsorptive particles are, the more effective they are as long as they do not invade or clog the permeation pores of the separation membrane. Fine powder and the like are easily available and are preferably used as particles that provide a good adsorption effect. These adsorptive particles may be used in combination of different types.

The amount of adsorbent particles added is adjusted to increase or decrease as appropriate depending on the concentration of organic matter in the liquid, the degree of tendency of adhesion to the membrane surface, etc.

Some of the adsorbent particles that are adsorbed and retained on the particle surface after removing the organic matter from the separation membrane surface may adhere and accumulate on the membrane surface, but even in such cases, the organic matter is directly absorbed by the separation membrane. Unlike when it is attached or deposited on a surface, it is easily peeled off due to the linear velocity of the liquid on the membrane surface, so it does not substantially impede the maintenance of the permeation performance of the separation membrane.

If the surface of adsorbent particles added to the liquid is coated with adsorbed organic matter and the adsorption effect is significantly reduced, the particles should be expelled from the system in a timely manner and new adsorbent particles should be replenished. This operation may be performed intermittently or continuously. If the target riacter is a cultured type of microorganism, if the adsorption effect of the particles is restored by allowing the bacteria to ingest the organic matter on the surface of the particles as a nutrient source for the bacteria, the adsorptive particles can be replaced. - The required membrane surface cleaning effect can be maintained over a long period of time without replenishment.
