Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for desalinating seawater by separating an inducing solute and fresh water from an induction solution by using a quasi-osmosis filtration module and waste heat of a ship, comprising: a reservoir capable of temporarily storing the induced solute; Osmosis filtration module, which is capable of facilitating cleaning of the osmosis filtration module without using additional energy by cleaning the osmosis filtration module using the osmosis filtration module.
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus for desalinating seawater by separating an inducing solute and fresh water from an induction solution by using a forward osmosis filtration module and waste heat of a ship, Osmosis desalination apparatus capable of adding a device to facilitate cleaning of the osmosis filtration module without using additional energy.
There is a technology to desalinate seawater. In the case of existing ship, there is a technology to evaporate seawater and desalinate using seawater. In this case, the waste heat generated from the ship is used as the heat source, but the boiling point of the water is lowered to facilitate the evaporation if the pressure is lowered or the vacuum state is made.
However, there is a disadvantage that additional cost is required to install the pressure reducing process, and energy supply is required to lower the pressure.
In another desalination technique, there is a technique of desalination by passing seawater through a membrane through a membrane filtration reverse osmosis process at a pressure higher than osmotic pressure of seawater.
However, since a high pressure is required, a large amount of energy is consumed, and as the fouling phenomenon of the membrane progresses over time, there is a disadvantage that a higher pressure is required to produce the same flow rate. Accordingly, Physical and chemical cleaning is required, and the recovery rate of the reverse osmosis process is not as high as about 40 to 50%.
In another desalination technology, there is a positive osmosis desalination technology using the waste heat of a ship to minimize the energy used to produce freshwater.
Patent Document No. 2012-0095198 can be referred to regarding the osmosis desalination apparatus using ship waste heat. In this regard, referring to Fig. 1, the osmosis desalination apparatus using ship waste heat will be described.
In the

This technique of osmosis desalination using ship waste heat can extract fresh water from the seawater by the concentration difference without additional energy supply, and it is possible to produce fresh water with minimum energy by separating the induced solute and fresh water using the waste heat of the ship .
However, there is a disadvantage in that the forward osmosis process using the waste heat of the ship also causes a fouling phenomenon of the membrane over time, and thus it is necessary to periodically clean the membrane in order to produce the same fresh water irrespective of time . Further, the disadvantage of requiring additional energy and time for cleaning the film as described above remains.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a clean osmosis desalination apparatus that is physically cleaned by natural osmosis in cleaning of the osmosis filtration module and requires no additional energy and time.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a purified osmosis desalination device capable of using fresh water generated from the osmosis desalination device itself and using fresh water without using a separate solvent for cleaning the filtration module.
In addition, it can be easily added to the existing osmosis desalination apparatus, thereby achieving a cleaning effect with high cost.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an osmosis filtration module comprising: a forward osmosis filtration module; An induction
The purified osmosis desalination apparatus may further include a

Preferably, the osmosis desalination apparatus includes a
The method for cleaning the filtration module in the osmosis desalination apparatus may further include the steps of: distributing the inductive solution from the
If the flux is reduced and cleaning of the osmosis filtration module is required, the induced solute separated from the induced solute separation part is temporarily stored in the induced solute reservoir, thereby stopping the supply of the induced solute to the induction solution supply part. As the concentration of inducing solution becomes equal to the salt concentration of seawater or becomes lower than the salt concentration of seawater, physical cleansing by natural osmosis occurs naturally and there is no additional energy consumption.
In addition, when the induction solute supply to the induction solution supply part is stopped, a solvent is added to the induction solution supply part to perform physical cleansing by natural osmosis as an induction solution having a concentration lower than the salt concentration of the seawater, .
Further, in the cleaning of the filtration module, fresh water separated from the induced solute separation part is supplied to the inductive solution supply part without supplying any solvent, so that natural cleansing by natural osmosis can be performed as an induction solution having a concentration lower than the salt concentration of seawater, Is high.

FIG. 2 illustrates a filtration module cleaning process in the osmosis desalination apparatus according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates a desalination process after the filtration module is cleaned in the osmosis desalination apparatus according to the present invention.
The present invention discloses a hydro-osmosis desalination apparatus for cleaning a filtration module in a hydro-osmosis desalination apparatus using ship waste heat. However, this embodiment is merely intended to explain advantages, It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is applicable to processing and reuse processes.
In the present invention, the "positive osmotic action" of the positive osmosis filtration module means that when a positive osmosis membrane is placed between a low concentration solution and a high concentration solution, pure water in a low concentration solution is caused to flow through the osmosis membrane To the solution of the concentration.
In the present invention, the term " inducing solution "refers to a solution used for the positive osmosis effect, and when applied to desalination, a solute provided to a solvent for producing an inductive solution at a concentration higher than the salt concentration of seawater is referred to as an & .
In the present invention, "cleansing the osmosis filtration module" means that when a cleansing membrane is placed between an induction solution having a concentration lower than the salt concentration of seawater and seawater, fresh water in the inducing solution is caused to flow through the cleansing membrane Which means that it is possible to remove the fouling phenomenon of the osmosis membrane that can occur in the conventional desalination process by utilizing the movement toward higher concentration of seawater. That is, when the filtration module is cleaned, the flow of the fresh water in the osmosis membrane is reversed to the flow of fresh water in the osmosis membrane at the time of desalination, thereby removing the fouling phenomenon of the osmosis membrane.
In the present invention, the term "induction solution concentration" means that when a positive osmosis membrane is placed between an induction solution having a concentration lower than the salt concentration of seawater and seawater in the osmosis filtration module, fresh water in the induction solution is induced in the induction solution through the osmosis membrane And the concentration of the inducing solution is concentrated by moving to a higher concentration of seawater than the concentration of the solution.
In the present invention, "induction solution dilution" means that when a positive osmosis membrane is placed between an induction solution having a concentration higher than the salt concentration of seawater and seawater in the osmosis filtration module, the freshwater in the seawater is permeated through the osmosis membrane Which means that the induction solution is diluted by moving to a higher concentration of the induction solution.
