Abstract:Taking the advanced treatment of high chlorine circulating wastewater in iron and steel enterprises by reverse osmosis technology as the research objective, the treatment capacity of reverse osmosis (RO) device for high chlorine circulating wastewater was investigated, and the effects of temperature, pressure, feed pH, flow rate and NaCl concentration on the separation effect of reverse osmosis membrane were clarified. The reasons for the decline of reverse osmosis membrane performance in the later period of use were analyzed in combination with SEM-EDS, XRD and other means. The results show that the increase of temperature is beneficial to the increase of membrane flux, the increase of pressure and pH can improve the separation performance of RO device at the same time, the feed flow rate has little effect on the membrane separation performance, and the influent NaCl concentration has a very significant effect on the membrane separation performance. Membrane pollution is mainly caused by inorganic substances. Through analysis, the main phase groups of membrane pollution layer are CaCO3, NaCl, CaCl2and Na2SO4. CaCO3 and Na2SO4 are distributed in the gaps of membrane fibers in the form of blocky and strip crystals, while NaCl is wrapped in membrane fibers in the form of muddy pollution layer. According to EDS analysis, the mass fraction of Ca element on the membrane surface is 4.83%, and most of the inorganic pollutants are calcium salts.
