How can tubular membranes efficiently remove calcium, magnesium, silica and heavy metals? What are the operating conditions? Tubular membranes remove calcium and magnesium. Based on the screening mechanism, calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide precipitation must be generated first, and then retained by a 0.05um pore size. The effluent hardness is low, calcium, magnesium, and silica are less than 20mg/L, and the total hardness is less than 50-100mg/L. The magnesium agent method or sodium aluminate method is used to remove silica, and the membrane blockage problem can be solved by dissolving with 5% liquid alkali or HF. In the treatment of heavy metal wastewater, tubular membranes can remove heavy metal ions, and the produced water meets the RO inlet requirements, with a turbidity of 1NTU and SDI3. Under strong acid and alkali conditions, tubular membranes can operate stably, with a pH range of 0-14. Projects that have been operating stably for more than 3 years include 15%HF, 25%H2SO4 and 15%HCl filtration. For wastewater containing F, tubular membranes generate fluoride precipitation and then perform solid-liquid separation, but attention should be paid to the solubility limit of calcium fluoride, which is difficult to reduce to the 10mg/L standard.
