  • Vacuum source 34 may be generated by a vacuum pump 36 as shown, or alternatively, may be generated by oral pressure. When vacuum source 34 is generated, the transport rate between feed solution F and draw solution D, and between draw solution D and permeate P will be considerably increased.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une unité de purification par osmose directe, qui comprend une chambre d'entrée dans laquelle peut être introduite une solution de charge non purifiée, une chambre de sortie, et une section à deux membranes. La section à deux membranes comprend une première membrane semi-perméable en communication fluidique avec la chambre d'entrée, une deuxième membrane semi-perméable en communication fluidique avec la chambre de sortie, une pluralité de cellules extensibles, interposées entre la première et la deuxième membrane, et une solution d'extraction, ayant une pression osmotique significativement supérieure à la pression osmotique de la solution de charge. Une quantité suffisante de solvant peut perméer à travers la première membrane pour augmenter la pression hydraulique de la solution d'extraction à l'intérieur des cellules, tandis que les solutés de la solution de charge peuvent être presque entièrement rejetés. La pression hydraulique de la solution d'extraction est suffisamment élevée pour forcer le perméat à être évacué de la deuxième membrane vers la chambre de sortie, tandis que l'agent d'extraction est presque entièrement rejeté.
