在超滤前进行混凝预处理可以减轻膜污染,混凝/超滤组合工艺已得到广泛的认可。在混凝/超滤工艺中引入曝气,形成了混凝/气提/超滤组合水处理新工艺。通过试验分析不同曝气量条件下的跨膜压差(TMP)、膜污染总阻力(Rt)以及膜污染指数(UMFI),探讨了不同曝气量下的膜污染情况。结果表明,混凝和曝气有利于减轻膜污染;并且随着曝气量的增加,TMP和Rt增长速率呈降低的趋势,UMFI值也逐渐减小。当曝气量从零增加到180 m L/min时,TMP和Rt的平均增长速率分别从0.211 k Pa/h和0.037×1012m^(-1)/h降低至0.065 k Pa/h和0.026×1012m^(-1)/h,UMFI值从0.001 18 m^2/L降低至0.000 30 m^2/L,膜污染程度显著降低。
To advance commercial application of forward osmosis (FO), we investigated the effects of two additives on the performance of polysulfone (PSf) based FO membranes: one is poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and another is PSf grafted with PEG methyl ether methacrylate (PSf-g-PEGMA). PSf blended with PEG or PSf-g- PEGMA was used to form a substrate layer, and then polyamide was formed on a support layer by interfacial polymerization. In this study, NaC1 (1 mol·L^-1) and deionized water were used as the draw solution and the feed solution, respectively. With the increase of PEG content from 0 to 15 wt-%, FO water flux declined by 23.4% to 59.3% compared to a PSf TFC FO membrane. With the increase of PSf-g-PEGMA from 0 to 15 wt-%, the membrane flux showed almost no change at first and then declined by about 52.0% and 50.4%. The PSfwith 5 wt-% PSf-g-PEGMA FO membrane showed a higher pure water flux of 8.74 L·m^-2·h^-1 than the commercial HTI membranes (6-8 L·m^-2·h^-1) under the FO mode. Our study suggests that hydrophobic interface is very important for the formation ofpolyamide, and a small amount of PSf- g-PEGMA can maintain a good condition for the formation of polyamide and reduce internal concentration polarization.
