- the cathode first potential V1 supplied from the cathode first power supply 21 to the cathode first electrode 11 is -20V.
- the cathode second potential V2 supplied from the cathode second power supply 22 to the cathode second electrode 12 is -30V. That is, the cathode power supply supplies cathode potentials (V1, V2) having the same polarity as the polarity (negative) of the particles 42 to the cathode electrodes. Further, the absolute value of the cathode potential supplied from the cathode power source increases as the distance from the filter chamber 3 increases (V2>V1).

- particles 42 contained in slurry 40 receive repulsive force from cathode first electrode 11 charged to the same polarity (see arrow A1 in FIG. 2). ). Also, the particles 42 receive an attractive force from the anode first electrode 13 that is charged with a different polarity (see arrow B1 in FIG. 2). As a result, the particles 42 in the filter chamber 3 move toward the first anode electrode 13 . Also, the particles 42 move downward (toward the anode first electrode 13) due to gravity. As described above, many particles 42 that have flowed into the filter chamber 3 are distributed near and above the first anode electrode 13 .
- the slurry 40 (slurry 40 with a high concentration of particles 42) near and above the first anode electrode 13 passes through the holes 13a of the first anode electrode 13 and the holes 14a of the second anode electrode 14 due to the filtering pressure. and move to the second discharge chamber 5 (see arrow F1 in FIG. 2). Also, in the process of passing through the first anode electrode 13 and the second anode electrode 14 , the slurry 40 has a reduced water content and an increased content of particles 42 to form a concentrate 44 . Details will be described below.
- An anode electric field Ea is generated between the anode first electrode 13 and the anode second electrode 14 .
- This anode electric field Ea is a force that pushes back the water molecules 41 whose apparent behavior is positively charged (hereinafter also referred to as “positively charged water molecules”) from the second anode electrode 14 toward the first anode electrode 13 .
- the water molecules 41 which are apparently positively charged, receive a repulsive force from the anode electric field Ea when passing between the anode first electrode 13 and the anode second electrode 14 (see arrow A2 in FIG. 2). .
- the positively charged water molecules 41 decelerate more than the moving speed when moving to the second discharge chamber 5 simply by receiving the filtering pressure. Therefore, the amount of water passing between the anode first electrode 13 and the anode second electrode 14 per unit time is reduced. As a result, the ratio of water contained in the slurry 40 that has moved to the second discharge chamber 5 becomes smaller than that of the slurry 40 that is near and above the first anode electrode 13 .
- the anode electric field Ea between the anode first electrode 13 and the anode second electrode 14 exerts an attractive force that draws the negatively charged particles 42 from the anode first electrode 13 toward the anode second electrode 14 (Fig. 2 arrow B2). That is, the particles 42 receive an attractive force from the electric field when passing between the anode first electrode 13 and the anode second electrode 14 .
- the particles 42 are accelerated more than they would be if they moved to the second discharge chamber 5 simply under the filtering pressure.
- the amount of particles 42 passing between the anode first electrode 13 and the anode second electrode 14 per unit time increases. Therefore, the ratio of particles 42 per unit volume contained in the slurry 40 that has moved to the second discharge chamber 5 is higher than that of the slurry 40 near and above the anode first electrode 13 .
- the slurry 40 has a higher concentration of the particles 42 in the process of passing between the anode first electrode 13 and the anode second electrode 14 and becomes a concentrate 44 . Then, the concentrate 44 passes through the second discharge port 5a and is discharged from the second discharge line 5b by the filtration pressure.
- slurry 40 with a low concentration of particles 42 stays near and below the first cathode electrode 11 in the filter chamber 3 .
- This slurry 40 passes through the holes 11a of the first cathode electrode 11 and the holes 12a of the second cathode electrode 12 by the filtration pressure, and moves to the first discharge chamber 4 (see arrow F3 in FIG. 2).
- a cathode electric field Ec is generated between the cathode first electrode 11 and the cathode second electrode 12 .
- the cathode electric field Ec exerts a repulsive force that suppresses the negatively charged particles 42 from moving from the filter chamber 3 to the first discharge chamber 4 . Therefore, the particles 42 are suppressed from moving to the first discharge chamber 4 .
- An electroosmotic flow occurs in which positively charged water molecules 41 are drawn toward the first discharge chamber (see arrow F4 in FIG. 2). For this reason, the water in the filter chamber 3 accelerates more than the moving speed when it moves to the first discharge chamber 4 simply by receiving the filtering pressure. Therefore, the amount of water that moves from the filter chamber 3 to the first discharge chamber 4 per unit time increases.
- the water (filtrate 45) that has moved to the first discharge chamber 4 is discharged from the first discharge port 4a by the filtration pressure.
- the first valve 4g and the second valve 5g set the flow rate discharged from the first discharge port 4a and the second discharge port 5a to, for example, 9:1 (for example, 10-fold concentration), and a large amount of water is discharged from the first discharge port 4a. of water is discharged.

Further, the gas 47 accumulated in the upper part of the inner chamber 3 of the closed space S accompanies the slurry 40, passes through the circulation line 103, and is diffused within the storage tank 101 (see arrow G2). Therefore, the pressure in the storage tank 101 rises above the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the amount of compressed air supplied from the compressor 110 can be set smaller than in the case of the eighth embodiment. Specifically, the pressure supplied by the compressor 110 is such that the internal pressure of the storage tank 101 is 0.02 MPa to 0.2 MPa, which is a slight pressure.

However, actual operating conditions cannot maintain this ideal balance due to various factors.
- the back pressure valve 129 is installed in the pressure adjustment line 128 in order to keep the pressurized state constant so that the flow rate of the slurry 40 from the circulation line 103 is "1". Operation of the pressure valve 129 allows constant pressure filtration to be maintained. As a result, the separated substances (filtrate 45 and concentrate 44) can be stably separated from the slurry 40 continuously.

圧電振動子による加振機能及びスイッチング機能によるろ過性能向上の確認を行った。
加振試験の評価サンプルとして、電界ろ過において高い凝集性を示す微粒子であるコロイダルシリカ粒径450nmを選択した。
図14に示すように、ろ室3、第1排出室4、第2排出室5の内部の三か所に加振部材200である圧電振動子200A、200B,200Cを設置した。
以下に示すように、加振機能付加によるろ室3内での付着性改善とろ過性能向上にも有効であることが確認できた。
図15Aは、ろ室、第1排出室及び第2排出室5の内部に振動部材を設置した概略図である。なお、本実施形態では、説明の便宜上、ろ室3側から第1アノード電極13-1、第2アノード電極13-2、第3アノード電極13-3、第4アノード電極13-4としている。図15Aに基づいて、濃縮物45側の電界において、圧電振動子に順次ON/OFFスイッチング機能の追加した試験例を説明する。
本試験例では、濃縮側(+)の第1アノード電源201-1、第2アノード電源201-2、第3アノード電源201-3に、マイコン制御リレーを装着して順次ON/OFFのスイッチングモード運転を可能とした。(+)電極間に滞留した(-)帯電の濃縮粒子を順次電界OFFにすることで解放するタイミングを設けて排出させ堆積を防止するようにしている。
(+)電極間に滞留した(-)帯電の濃縮粒子を順次電界OFFにすることで解放するタイミングを設けて排出させ、微粒子の堆積を防止した。
本試験例の粒子42はマイナス側に帯電しているとする。
電極間において、電位差があっても、10Vの電位差の場合では、少し粒子42が電極に付着する。
例えば第1アノード電極13-1の電位を+20Vとし、第2電極13-2の電位を+30Vとし、第3電極13-3の電位を+40Vとし、第4電極13-4の電位を+50Vとする。
このような場合、第2アノード電極13-2~第4アノード電極13-4において、第1アノード電源13-1~第3アノード電源13-3のスイッチングのON-OFFを順次繰り返す。
通常、第2アノード電極13-2をONとして、第2アノード電極13-2に+30Vを印加すると、第3アノード電極13-3(+40V)との電位差は+10Vとなる。
この際、スイッチングにより第2アノード電極13-2をOFFとすると、第1アノード電極13-1側と導通して、第2アノード電極13-2の電位が+20Vとなる。この結果、第3アノード電極13-3は通常+40Vであるので、第2アノード電極がOFFのときの第3アノード電極13-3との電位差は、常時ONのときの電位差+10Vに対して、電位差が+20Vと倍になる。
本実施形態では粒子42がマイナス帯電なので、第3電極13-3側に引き寄せられる粒子引き寄せ効果が増大する。
第2アノード電極13-2~第アノード4電極13-4は2秒ONとして1秒OFFを繰り返すようにしている。なお、このスイッチング時間は適宜変更することができる。
図16は、実施形態7のろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。ろ過システム100は、ろ過装置1にスラリー40を供給して固液分離を行い、濃縮物44とろ液45を回収するシステムである。また、ろ過装置1による固液分離は、バッチ処理でなく連続処理である。よって、ろ過システム100において、スラリー40の供給を継続して行い、濃縮物44とろ液45の回収も継続して行うことができる装置である。
また、粒子によっては、pHによって帯電状態が変化するものもある。
また、液体の水分子41は、この水分子41に分散されている粒子42がマイナス(-)に帯電している場合、粒子42を分散させている液体の水分子41は見かけ上(+)プラスに挙動する。
これに対して、液体の水分子41に分散されている粒子がプラス(+)に帯電している場合、粒子42を分散させている液体の水分子41は見かけ上(-)マイナスに挙動する。
その他の構成は実施形態1のろ過装置1と同一であるので、その説明は省略する。
また、密閉容器2の内部からガス47が除去される。また、循環ライン103により抜き取られたスラリー40は、貯留槽101に循環して放熱する。一方で、密閉容器2の内部に残ったスラリー40には、多くのスラリー40が供給され冷却する。よって、スラリー40の温度上昇が抑制される。
複数の電極10は、ろ室3と第1排出室4とを仕切る複数のカソード電極と、ろ室3と第2排出室5とを仕切る複数のアノード電極と、を有する。複数のカソード電極は、カソード第1電極11と、カソード第1電極11よりも第1排出室4寄りに配置されたカソード第2電極12と、を有する。複数のアノード電極は、ろ室3を挟んでカソード第1電極11と対向するアノード第1電極13と、アノード第1電極13よりも第2排出室5寄りに配置されたアノード第2電極14と、を有する。カソード第1電極11には、粒子の極性と同じ極性のカソード第1電位V1が供給される。カソード第2電極12には、粒子の極性と同じ極性のカソード第2電位V2が供給される。カソード第2電位V2の絶対値は、カソード第1電位V1の絶対値よりも大きい。アノード第1電極13には、粒子の極性と異なる極性のアノード第1電位V11が供給される。アノード第2電極14には、粒子の極性と異なる極性のアノード第2電位V12が供給される。アノード第2電位V12の絶対値は、アノード第1電位V11の絶対値よりも大きい。
なお、本実施形態では、分離物としては、第1排出室4にろ室3のスラリー40から分離されるろ液45であり、第2排出室5にろ室3のスラリー40から分離される濃縮物44である。
図18は、実施形態8のろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。図18に示すように、実施形態8では、ろ過システム100に代えてろ過システム100Aを備える点で、実施形態7と相違する。また、実施形態8のろ過システム100Aは、コンプレッサ110、洗浄水槽111、洗浄排水ライン120と、ガス抜き弁(122、132、142)を備えている点で、実施形態7と相違する。また、実施形態8のろ過システム100Aは、供給ポンプ104を備えていない点を実施形態7のろ過システム100と相違する。以下、相違点に絞って説明する。
なお、コンプレッサ110の代わりとしては、例えばガスボンベなどの加圧手段を用いるようにしても良い。
次に実施形態8のろ過システム100Aの使用方法について説明する。
図22は、実施形態9ろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。実施形態9のろ過システム100Bは、供給ポンプ104を備えていない点で実施形態7と相違する。また、実施形態9のろ過システム100Bは、貯留槽101が密閉されている点で、実施形態7と相違する。また、実施形態9のろ過システム100Bは、貯留槽101に圧力調整弁101bが設けられている点で、実施形態7と相違する。また、実施形態9のろ過システム100Bは、エアコンプレッサ110を備えている点で、実施形態7と相違する。
図23は、実施形態10のろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。実施形態10のろ過システム100Cは、図23に示すように、ろ室3の加圧状態を一定に保持するために、
圧力調整ライン128を設置し、圧力調整ライン128に背圧弁(圧力調整弁)129を設置している。この背圧弁129は、例えば0.05MPaに設定し、それ以上となると圧力を逃がす機能を備えている。これにより、定圧ろ過を保持している。
ここで、理想的なろ過システムの流量を想定すると、ライン102で供給するスラリー40を定量ポンプ104で例えば「3」の流量を供給すると仮定する。この際、例えばろ液45の排出量を「1」、濃縮物44の排出量「1」とし、循環の流量を「1」とすることで、バランスするのが理想的である。しかしながら、実際の運転条件は、種々の要因によりこの理想的なバランスで維持することはできない。
図24は、実施形態11のろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。実施形態11のろ過システム100Dは、図24に示すように、ろ室3、第1排出室4、又は第2排出室5の内部の少なくとも一か所に加振部材200を備えるものである。
実施形態11のろ過システム100Dは、電界ろ過においては、強い凝集性を示す粒子42を含むスラリー40を分離場合、ろ室3内及び第1アノード電極13-1、第2アノード電極13-2、第3アノード電極13-3、第4アノード電極13-4間に粒子42の滞留や付着が発生し、粒子42の回収率の低下傾向があるが、加振部材200を設けることにより、これらが解消される。詳細は、実施形態6で説明しているので、その説明は省略する。
図25Aは、実施形態12のろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。実施形態12のろ過システム100E-1は、図25Aに示すように、粒子42と、粒子42の電荷(+)と異なる電荷(-)を帯びている媒体(水分子41)とを含むスラリー40が供給されるろ室3と、ろ室3の両側面に対向して設けられ、スラリー40中の粒子42と媒体(水分子41)とを電気的に分離する第1分離電極群10Aと第2分離電極群10Bと、第1分離電極群10Aと第2分離電極群10Bのろ室と反対側に設けられ、分離物(媒体(水分子41)、粒子42)を排出するカソード側第1排出室4とアノード側第2排出室5と、を備えた、ろ過装置ユニットを一単位のモジュールとし、ろ過装置ユニット160(160-1,160-2…)からなるモジュールを連結する際、連結チャンバー161を用いて複数連結している。
本実施形態では、第2排出室5を共用している。
なお、さらに連結する場合には、ろ過装置ユニット160-2の隣にろ過装置ユニット160-3(図示せず)を設け、第1排出室4を共用とするようにすればよい。
図26は、実施形態13のろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。
また、図28は、実施形態7のろ過装置のろ過装置を模式的に示す模式図であり、図17と同一である。図29は、実施形態13のろ過装置のろ過装置を模式的に示す模式図である。図31は、実施形態13,14の電源構成を示す回路図であり、図31Aは並列回路図、図31Bは直列回路図である。
図26に示すように、実施形態13のろ過システム100Eは、相異なる電荷を帯びている粒子(+)42と液体(水分子(-)41)とを、含むスラリー40が、供給ライン(管)102により供給されるろ室3と、ろ室3の両側面に、相対向して設けられ、スラリー40中の粒子42と液体(水分子41)とを電界作用によって分離する少なくとも2以上のカソード電極又はアノード電極のいずれか一方又は両方を備えた第1電極群10A、第2電極群10Bと、電極群のろ室3と反対側に設けられ、分離物である濃縮物44とろ液45とを排出する第1排出室4および第2排出室5とを備えたろ過装置1Gとしている。
そして、第1電極群10A、第2電極群10Bが、同極性のカソード側とし、電極群を構成する電極が細孔を有すると共に、電極群10A、10Bの極性(-)と異なる極性(+)のアノード側の電極170Aをろ室3内に配置するものである。
前述したように、図17に示す実施形態7のろ過装置1Fでは、図28に示すように、ろ過室3の左右に第1排出室4、第2排出室5を各々設置している。この結果、ろ室3に供給されたスラリー40は、ろ室3を中心として左右に相対向する第1電極群10A(11、12)、第2電極群10B(13、14)における電界作用により分離され、ろ液45は第1排出室4に、濃縮物44は第2排出室5に分離されている。
図27は、実施形態14のろ過システムを模式的に示す図である。図30は、実施形態14のろ過装置のろ過装置を模式的に示す模式図である。
図27に示すように、実施形態14のろ過システム100Fは、相異なる電荷を帯びている粒子(+)42と液体(水分子(-)41)とを、含むスラリー40が、供給ライン(管)102により供給されるろ室3と、ろ室3の両側面に、相対向して設けられ、スラリー40中の粒子42と液体(水分子41)とを電界作用によって分離する少なくとも2以上のカソード電極又はアノード電極のいずれか一方又は両方を備えた第1電極群10A、第2電極群10Bと、電極群のろ室3と反対側に設けられ、分離物である濃縮物44を排出する第1排出室4及び第2排出室5とを備えており、第1電極群10A、第2電極群10Bが、同極性のアノード側であり、電極群を構成する電極が細孔を有すると共に、電極群の極性(-)と異なる極性(+)のカソード側の電極170Bをろ室3内に配置するものである。
