摘要

摘要: 近年来,纳滤(NF)和反渗透(RO)技术在饮用水净化、污水处理及脱盐等领域得到了广泛应用。然而,膜污染和低传质分离效率是制约NF/RO技术发展的主要挑战。解决这些问题需要借助灵敏、精确的表征分析技术深入解析其内在机制,电化学阻抗谱(electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,EIS)作为一种高灵敏的分析检测技术,能够实现实时、原位表征,在膜污染和膜分离传质过程研究中展现出独特的优势。系统综述了EIS技术在表征分析NF/RO膜污染和传质过程中的研究与应用进展,介绍了EIS的工作原理、等效电路模型,总结了其在膜污染类型识别、膜污染在线监测以及膜分离传质过程表征等方面的研究动态,最后讨论了EIS在膜分离领域应用中存在的局限性,并展望了EIS技术的未来发展方向。

Abstract: In recent years, nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies have been widely utilized in drinking water purification, wastewater treatment, and desalination. However, membrane fouling and low mass transfer separation efficiency remain major challenges limiting their development. Addressing these issues requires sensitive and precise characterization techniques to probe the underlying mechanisms. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), as a highly sensitive analysis technique, enables real-time, in-situ characterization. It offers unique advantages in the study of membrane fouling and mass transfer processes. This review systematically summarizes the research and application advances of EIS in characterizing the fouling and mass transfer processes in NF and RO membranes. The working principles and equivalent circuit models are first introduced. The research advancements in fouling type identification, online monitoring, and mass transfer characterization in membrane separation are also reviewed. Finally, the limitations of EIS application in the membrane field are discussed and future development directions are also outlined.
