Working Principle
Membrane separation technology is widely utilized in the dye industry for various processes such as dye wastewater treatment, dye desalting and concentration, and dye recovery.
The specific working principles are as follows:
Dye Recovery: In the production of dyes through salting-out methods, the filtrate from the plate-and-frame system often contains small amounts of solid dye. Membrane separation technology, utilizing nanofiltration (NF) or ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, treats dye wastewater to concentrate and recover the dye, thereby reducing dye waste and environmental pollution.
Dye Desalting and Concentration: Highly saline dye solutions can be treated with membrane technology for desalting and concentration. Nanofiltration and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes effectively remove salts from dye solutions, producing low-salt, high-quality dyes. This process also enhances the dye's strength and quality.
Wastewater Treatment to Meet Discharge Standards: Wastewater generated during dye production undergoes membrane separation treatment to remove organic compounds and other pollutants, ensuring compliance with wastewater discharge standards and minimizing environmental pollution.
