- the space velocity (SV) of water passing through each of the monolith cation exchanger 31 and the monolith anion exchanger 32 was 4000 h -1 and the linear velocity (LV) was 400 m/h.
- the outlet water [A] of the ultrafiltration membrane device 16 the outlet water [B] of the monolithic cation exchanger 31, the outlet water [C] of the monolithic anion exchanger 32, the second The outlet water [D] of the microfiltration membrane device 35 provided on the path and the outlet water [E] of the microfiltration membrane device 36 provided on the third path are sequentially sent to the measurement pipe 60 in this order, and the outlet The number of fine particles with a diameter of 40 nm or more contained in water [A] to [E] was continuously counted by a particle counter 66 .
- the number of fine particles means the number of fine particles contained in a unit volume of outlet water.
- FIG. 12A shows the measurement result of the number of fine particles.
- FIG. 12B shows the result of obtaining the moving average for 60 minutes for the result shown in FIG. 12A.
- the number of fine particles contained in the outlet water [A] of the ultrafiltration membrane device 16 was obtained for about the first six days from the start of measurement, but the number of fine particles spiked up. is frequent.
- the number of fine particles in the outlet water [B] of the monolith cation exchanger 31, that is, the water that passed through the ultrafiltration membrane device 16 and the Morris cation exchanger 31 in this order was determined.
- Outlet water "B” yielded results that averaged the fine particle counts in outlet water [A].
- the number of fine particles in the water that passed through the filtration membrane device 16, the monolithic cation exchanger 31, and the monolithic anion exchanger 32 in this order was determined.
- the outlet water [D] of the microfiltration membrane device 35 of the second route that is, the ultrafiltration membrane device 16, the Morris cation exchanger 31, and the monolithic anion exchanger 32 and microfiltration membrane device 35 in this order, the number of fine particles was determined.
- the outlet water [D] contained almost no fine particles.
- the outlet water [E] of the filtration membrane device 36 that is, the water that has passed through the ultrafiltration membrane device 16 and the microfiltration membrane device 36 in this order without passing through the organic porous ion exchanger, that is, the monolithic ion exchanger
- the number of fine particles in the outlet water [E] is also smaller than the number of fine particles in the outlet water of each monolithic ion exchanger, but the number of fine particles in the outlet water [D] of the microfiltration membrane device 35 in the second route is smaller than the number of fine particles in the outlet water [D]. A little too many.
- the number of fine particles can be reduced by sequentially passing the outlet water of the ultrafiltration membrane device 16 through the monolithic cation exchanger 31 and the monolithic anion exchanger 32. It was found that the concentration of detected microparticles can be reduced to less than 1/mL by increasing the concentration.
