Strong brine vacuum membrane distillation technique for sea water desalination
Technical field
The invention belongs to sea water desaltination and salt making technology field, relate to a kind of strong brine vacuum membrane distillation technique for sea water desalination.
Background technology
Present industrialized method for desalting seawater mainly contains: methods such as multistage flash evaporation, reverse osmosis, multi-effect distilling and pressure steam distillation.Cost of seawater desalination is generally higher, and this has restricted the popularization of sea water desaltination industry undoubtedly, and therefore how reducing the sea water desaltination cost is that sea water desaltination realizes the subject matter that industrialization faces.In addition, the processing emission problem of a large amount of strong brines of big industrial scale sea water desaltination generation also can not be ignored; If have the long-term row of the strong brine of number of chemical additive certainly will cause pollution from the marine eco-environment to the ocean.The directly method in row sea is adopted towards rare back in the processing of external at present open marine site strong brine that sea water desaltination produces, but considers that from the recycling economy angle a large amount of dischargings of strong brine are the serious waste of resource.
Membrane distillation (MD) is to improve a kind of cheapness of sea water desalinization strong brine concentration, new membrane isolation technique efficiently, have and can under normal pressure or negative pressure, operate, can utilize low-grade heat sources such as sun power, underground heat, factory's used heat, waste heat, and equipment is simple, to advantages such as the requirement of mechanical strength of film are low.Membrane distillation is the membrane sepn process that membrane technique combines with evaporative process, and its used film is not by the dewatering microporous film of pending solution-wet.One side of film directly contacts (being called hot side) with pending hot solution, and opposite side contacts (being called cold side) with cold water solution directly or indirectly.Volatile component enters cold side and is condensed into liquid phase by film in the vaporization of face place in the hot side solution, and other components then are blocked in hot side by hydrophobic membrane, thereby realizes the purpose of mixture separation or purification.According to the difference of film cold side condensing mode, membrane distillation can be divided into four kinds of forms: directly contact membranes distills (DCMD), GAP TYPE membrane distillation (AGMD), sweep gas membrane distillation (SGMD) and vacuum membrane distillation (VMD).Adopt film distillation technology to handle the desalination strong brine, the ratio of desalinization that can make product fresh water is near 100%, and can realize membrane crystallization, therefore adopt this technology make the strong brine circulation and to greatest extent enrichment be fully feasible.
Over nearly 20 years, it is more that film distillation technology is used in the sea water desaltination area research, but have not yet to see the relevant report of sea water desaltination and salt industry being handled strong brine in conjunction with employing membrane distillation method.The present invention is the sea water desalinization strong brine film distillation technology, makes dense water cycle, when producing fresh water dense water is used for salt manufacturing.
