Experimental study indicates that the submerged hollow fiber uhrafihration membrane can condense the concentration of sludge from 0. 1% -0. 3% to 2.5%. At 20 ℃, the system can operate continuously for 80 clays with daily online backwashing with chemical additions only once, and the membrane flux can be recovered up to 97% by using NaClO and NaOH as chemical additions. The results show that the membrane flux is mainly affected by temperature,and has a positive lin- ear relation to temperature with a slope of 0. 368. After treated by submerged hollow fiber uhrafihration membrane, the effluent can reach the National Standard for Drinking Water（ GB5749 -85 ） , especially for the sludge water from sedimentation tanks and the backwashing Water from filters in water supply plants.展开更多
