35、OVERVIEW 3DESALINATION TECHNOLOGIES OVERVIEW _Desalination processes can be divided into two broad categories: membrane separation and thermal evaporation. Membrane-based desalination processes typically employ me-chanical pressure, electrical potential, or a concentration gradient as the driving fo

36、rce across a semi-permeable membrane barrier to achieve physical separation. Thermal de-salination processes employ heat to evaporate the water from a salt solution, and the water vapor is then condensed and recovered. Thermal technologies were the only options available for seawater desalination un

37、til reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were developed in the early 1960s. Since then, RO mem-brane processes have steadily been improved, and the efficiency has increased to the point that they are now the technology of choice for most seawater desalination applications. An exception to this is the Midd

38、le East, where low energy costs allow for thermal desalination to remain relatively competitive. Besides the established desalination technologies, there are several newer technolo-gies that are nearing commercialization or undergoing active research and development. A discussion of the established

39、membrane and thermal technologies is presented first in this manual, followed by a brief discussion of developing technologies. The remaining chapters in this manual focus on pressure-driven membrane applications, as this presently has the most applicability to seawater desalination in the United St

40、ates. MEMbRANE SEpARATION _Membrane desalination technologies have been designed around the ability of semi- permeable membranes to selectively permit or minimize the passage of certain ions. Three fundamental driving forces can be used in membrane desalination systems including pres-sure, electric

41、potential, and concentration gradient. RO and nanofiltration (NF) are pressure driven processes. Electrodialysis (ED) and electrodialysis reversal (EDR) are electric potential driven processes. Forward osmosis (FO) is a concentration-driven process.Membrane-based seawater desalination processes have

42、 typically applied only RO. Although NF and ED/EDR are also mature technologies and can be used for desalination, ED/EDR are typically not cost competitive for desalination of seawater (Amjad 1993), and NF is not ordinarily considered for seawater desalination for potable water production. However,

43、a novel approach employing two-pass (NF) configuration has been developed and tested for seawater desalination by the Long Beach Water Department in California. Similarly, FO is a developing technology and has not yet been commercialized for large-scale applications. Reverse Osmosis (RO)Desalination

44、 through RO is a well-established and nonproprietary unit process that cur-rently represents the state-of-the-art of desalination technology for a number of reasons. In addition to the ability to reject a variety of contaminants, RO treatment generally has lower energy consumption, lower feed water

45、flows, and no thermal impacts in the con-centrate discharge in comparison to thermal desalination processes. Improvements in membranes and energy recovery devices used for seawater RO (SWRO) have improved the overall process efficiency thereby lowering the costs associated with treatment. Reverse os

46、mosis is based on overcoming the natural phenomenon of osmotic pres-sure, which occurs when a semi-permeable membrane separates two solutions with dif-ferent concentrations of ions. The osmotic pressure created by the concentration gradient drives the flow of water from the dilute solution to the co

47、ncentrated solution, until chemi-cal equilibrium is established. The flow of water can be reversed with the application of an external hydraulic force (pressure) if this force is greater than the osmotic pressure. Figure 1-2 illustrates the basic concepts of osmosis and reverse osmosis. M61.indb 3 4

The original asymmetric cellulose acetate (CA) mem-branes, developed in the 1960s, were less permeable than modern thin-film compos-ite (TFC) membranes and required a higher driving pressure, in excess of 1200 pounds per square inch (psi) or 8.3 megapascals (MPa) for seawater at typical operating fluxes. Additionally, the ability of CA membranes to reject salts was origin
