The acid-resistant membrane is a high-performance separation material specifically developed for the resource recovery of acidic wastewater.
Through innovative membrane materials and module design, it can operate stably in highly acidic environments. The system significantly reduces the generation of hazardous waste during wastewater treatment, lowering environmental pressure and disposal costs. At the same time, it enables the recovery and reuse of acids and salts, overcoming the limitations of traditional neutralization methods while improving overall efficiency and economic value.
The acid-resistant membrane features a multi-layer composite structure, consisting of an acid-resistant desalination layer, an ultrafiltration support layer, and a nonwoven backing.
Under pressure-driven conditions, water and small molecules permeate through the membrane, while larger molecules and impurities are retained, enabling the separation and purification of acidic solutions.
The acid-resistant desalination layer offers excellent corrosion resistance and maintains structural stability even at high acid concentrations. Selective separation allows efficient fractionation and recovery of acids and salts.
l Excellent Acid Resistance: Withstands acid concentrations up to 20%, suitable for harsh acidic environments.
