    摘要: A method for controlling slime is used in a reverse osmosis membrane apparatus and has a water-supplying step of supplying water to be treated to the reverse osmosis membrane. The water-supplying step includes a first water-supplying step in which a slime controlling agent X which contains 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA) and a slime controlling agent Y which contains at least one type selected from a group consisting of components (A) to (D) are added to the water to be treated which has a pH of 10 or less, and the water to be treated which contains the slime controlling agent X and the slime controlling agent Y is supplied to the reverse osmosis membrane. The component (A) is mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (Cl-MIT) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT), the component (B) is chloramine compound, the component (C) is stabilized bromide, and the component (D) is glutaraldehyde.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a process for the recovery and purification of glyoxylic acid from a process stream comprising glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid, wherein the process stream comprising glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid is subjected to a number of alternating separation and dehydration steps. The process comprising the steps of: (i) providing an aqueous solution comprising glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid; (ii) precipitating at least a portion of the oxalic acid using low-temperature crystallization at a temperature of at most 18° C.; (iii) separating the precipitated oxalic acid from the solution to obtain a solution depleted in oxalic acid; (iv) concentrating the solution depleted in oxalic obtained in step (iii) using reverse osmosis; and repeating steps (ii)-(iv) with the concentrated solution obtained in step (iv) until a purified glyoxylic acid stream with a predetermined degree of purity is obtained. The invention also relates to a system for carrying out the process.
