    摘要: A hollow fiber membrane ("fiber") comprises a tubular macroporous support (31) coated on its outer surface with a thin tubular asymmetric semipermeable film (33) of polymer. The film, by itself, is non-self-supporting. The support (31) itself is so flexible (flaccid) that it does not have a circular cross section and collapses with finger pressure. Such a tube of knitted or woven braid no greater than 2.5 mm o.d., having interstitial voids which are non-uniformly shaped by the "ends" which are braided, is coated with a "dope" of polymer, then coagulated in a bath to form the film. Yet, after coating, the braided membrane can withstand up to 1500 psig in hydraulic compression forces before a straight-line relationship between flux and pressure begins to flatten out. The voids are relatively much larger than pores in the film. These voids are small enough to inhibit substantial penetration of the dope which lies superficially supported on the upper portion of the braid. Viewed in an elevational cross-sectional view looking down the longitudinal axis of the dope-coated braid, the dope extends over less than 33 % of the outer portion of the braid's cross-sectional area. This thin coating of dope is made possible by a unique coating nozzle having sequential rounding and sizing orifices through which the braid is advanced by pulling it without unduly distorting the shapes of the voids in the braid. The shapes and sizes of the braid are thus retained except that the braid is distended into an essentially circular shape because of the tensile forces exerted by the coagulating dope. Hollow fiber membranes made as disclosed herein are used to make fluid-fluid separations, the braid and film being tailored to the purpose at hand.

    摘要: A wastewater feed containing an ultimate BOD/COD ratio > 0.6 is well-suited for especially acclimated thermophilic and/or caldo-active living micro-organisms ("hot cells") which thrive in an autothermal aerobic (ATA) reaction zone having an ATA bioreactor ("ATAB") operating at substantially ambient atmospheric pressure in combination with a MF or UF membrane filtration device from which a solids-free permeate may be withdrawn. This combination, of ATAB and membrane device is a "membrane bioreactor" (ATA MBR), which operates autothermally with a feed containing biodegradable organic materials having a BOD of at least 5,000 mg/L, preferably at least 10,000 mg/L (10 g/L) with a minor portion of "municipal" wastewater or domestic sewage. Operation of the ATAB, preferably in the thermophilic range from 45°C - 75°C, with constant HRT from 1 to 12 days, is contingent upon maintaining a stable population of live hot cells. Such cells enhance the biokinetics of degradation and allow operation of the ATAB at higher COD loading and a lower concentration of TSS, than would be possible at a lower temperature. A surprisingly high membrane productivity allows production of much less sludge to be disposed of outside the system, than would have to be disposed of with a conventional mesophilic reactor in normal operation with a HRT of less than 24 hr. A combination of an MP MBR with an ATA MBR is highly effective when the MPB produces high BOD concentration mixed liquor for destruction by the ATAB.

    摘要: A tubular module is disclosed for use as a membrane device, comprising, a shell with fluid couplings removably affixed to each of its ends and at least one non-disassemblable cartridge operably held within the shell. The cartridge is constructed from plural wafers sequentially coaxially aligned, each wafer consisting essentially of a generally planar frame and an array of hollow fibers of selectively permeable material adhesively held by their ends in opposed portions of the border of the frame, without potting the ends. Several cartridges may be coaxially "ganged" to provide a "stack" with the required filtration area. The cartridges may be removably disposed in the shell, or secured therein so that the entire module may be discarded when its efficiency is unacceptably low. The wafers are adhesively secured to define a fluid-tight conduit with open ends through which a feedstream is flowed transversely over the fibers. The bores of the fibers are in open fluid communication with the permeate zone in the shell. A frame of a wafer may be provided with longitudinal, laterally spaced apart grooves in its upper surface and the fibers trained in the grooves. A cartridge may be made by precoating a first frame with adhesive, embedding the fibers in the adhesive, initially curing the adhesive and then placing a second frame over the partially cured adhesive ; and, repeating the steps. Alternatively, the second frame may be positioned over the embedded fibers on the first frame and the adhesive then cured. The arrays lie in a plane substantially orthogonal to the direction of flow of a feedstream to be treated, and fibers of one array are staggered relative to those in a successive array.
