Ceramic Membrane Brine Purification Solution (hereinafter called CBS Process) is a well- proven process for brine water treatment, which can guarantee to offer high quality, stable and reliable primary brine for a long-term and is also an advanced process option for chlor-alkali companies.

CBS combines the characteristics of inorganic materials and the use of efficient "cross-flow" filtration which has greater advantages over other purification technologies.

CBS process can also be used for bittern vacuum salt making and the quality of solid salt produced is higher than that of clarification process which can be used as high-quality edible salt or chloralkali salt. This process involves salt water filters and salt water purifiers for salt water filtration, salt water purification and salt water desalination.

Process characteristics:

HIGH-QUALITY PRIMARY BRINE

SS≤0.5ppm, [Ca2 +] + [Mg2 +] ≤0.5ppm

WITHOUT ANY FLOCCULANTS

Reduce costs and no additional ionic contamination;

SMALL FOOTPRINT

New projects can reduce more than 30% investment in primary brine;

WITHOUT ANY LIMITATION FOR RAW SALT

Suitable for raw salt with inverted calcium and magnesium ratio

Also applies to sea salt;

LONG SERVICE LIFE, HIGH STRENGTH, EASY TO CLEAN, EASY TO REGENERATE

Durable, easy to maintain

FILTRATION PORE SIZE: 50 NM

Lower pore size than the smallest filter paper(200 nm) in your analysis chamber

Process advantages :

SHORT PROCESS

Compared with the traditional process, CBS eliminates the need of clarifier, sand filter & pre-coated cellulose filter tube and cleaning & pre-coating workload and avoids the secondary pollution of silicon.

Compared with organic polymer membrane, CBS not only eliminates the need of process and equipment of pretreatment system, flotation with pressurized dissoluble gas and floated clarification but also eliminates the need of corrosive, harmful chemicals such as ferric chloride which reduces the corrosion damage of system equipment and piping, completely avoids the secondary pollution of primary brine.

LONG SERVICE LIFE

High-quality, high-strength inorganic ceramic membrane can work long-term under the pressure of 1MPa without affecting by acid, alkali, oxidants, etc.

Ceramic membrane surface does not have any possibility to occur the phenomena of tearing, corrosion, aperture stretch ,but organic polymer membrane surface does. The service life of ceramic membrane tube is up to 5years.

The filtration pore size is less than 50nm. The simple screening principle can make the SS of the filtered brine less than 0.5ppm, greatly reducing the load of the chelating resin tower and the pollution of the ion membrane.

ANTI-FOULING

CBS process adapts to high magnesium raw salt. Ceramic membrane has excellent anti-pollution ability, and works at a high concentration of contaminants (5 to 10%) with full use of "cross-flow" filtration, eliminates defects which filtered membrane is not tolerant to high magnesium and organics in a dead-end filtration mode and reduces the quality requirements of crude salt, broadens the scope of salt selection.

SMALL FOOTPRINT

Because of short process, less equipment, simple process control and simple operation, installation and construction area can be greatly reduced compared with other primary brine technologies. The technology is easy to combine with the traditional process, especially for the old device reconstruction project.

Membrane filtration principle

Ceramic membrane filtration technology is based on a selective filtration through a pressure -driven membrane. The membrane has charged groups that selectively reject multivalent anions such as SO42-. The membrane does not separate monovalent ionic species such as Cl- or CLO3- from the feed solution.

To maximize the membrane area within a compact space, the membranes are packaged as cylindrical elements in a spiral wound configuration.

Feed brine floods the entire feed side of the membrane surface within the membrane element by flowing within a mesh spacer. Brine then permeates through the membrane, where the sulfate is rejected, and flows in a spiral pattern through the permeate carrier, towards the perforated permeate tube.

To achieve the required membrane area, several ceramic membrane elements are packed into several high-pressure housing. The high-pressure housings are arranged in series to provide the required number of stages to concentrate the sodium Sulphate solution.

The membrane filtration unit usually treats dechlorinated depleted brine from the chlor-alkali electrolyzer. It is at this location that the Na2SO4 concentration is at its highest and the NaCl concentration is at its lowest. Normally only a portion of the dechlorinated brine flow needs to be passed through the Sulphate removal system, the remainder bypasses the Sulphate remove system and is returned to the saturators.

Features:

1. Reduced purge of depleted brine

Substantial costs saving due to less NaCl loss

More Environmental friendly, less effluent

2. No secondary pollution

No need to use BaCl2 reagent which is toxic

No Barium treatment cost

No solid BaSO4 waste

3. No secondary pollution

Lower operating costs

Reduces effluent volume

Full recovery of sulfate and sodium chloride

JIANGSU JIUWU HI-TECH CO. LTD.,founded in 1997, focus on producing ceramic membrane filters for many years. And JIUWU HI-TECH has become a leading company in the membrane separation industry. We sincerely invite and welcome people from all around the world to invest and create more values together.

Natural rubber, as initially produced, consists of polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with minor impurities of other organic compounds, plus water. 

Currently, rubber is harvested mainly in the form of the latex from the rubber tree or others. The latex is a sticky, milky colloid drawn off by making incisions in the bark and collecting the fluid in vessels in a process called "tapping". The latex then is refined into rubber ready for commercial processing. In major areas, latex is allowed to coagulate in the collection cup. The coagulated lumps are collected and processed into dry forms for marketing.

Natural rubber is used extensively in many applications and products, either alone or in combination with other materials. In most of its useful forms, it has a large stretch ratio and high resilience and is extremely waterproof.

Centrifuged latex is processed into final articles by dipping, extruding, and coating. Different articles have different physical and chemical requirements, which means that the latex used in their manufacture must be modified by the addition of a great variety of substances that give each "formulation" its unique characteristics. 

These characteristics are well-specified and must be carefully controlled. 

Skim latex is generated during natural rubber processing centrifuged into fresh latex to become concentrated latex. Skim latex is a raw material for producing skim rubber block according to the low content of rubber particles in the range of 4-8% DRC.

Traditionally, skim latex is treated with sulphuric acid to produce cheap, low-quality rubber products of 5% skim rubber content. Not only does this method consume large quantities of the acid, which results in high production cost, more importantly, causing harmful pollutants to the environment.

JIUWU offers a safer, cheaper and greener option to produce skim rubber products of high quality. Through ceramic membrane filtration system, the rubber content in recovered skim latex can be concentrated to more than 15%, the same value in natural rubber without any form of chemical treatment. At the same time, permeate can be recycled.
