On April 21, the 26th China IE Expo grandly opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Jiuwu Hi-tech made a strong debut at booth C42/E42 in hall N1 with a brand-new image. Through the upgrading of its product matrix and diversified on-site activities, Jiuwu Hi-tech created an exhibition experience full of technology and interactivity, continuously highlighting its leading position and innovative vitality in the field of environmental protection membranes.
This time, Jiuwu Hi-tech broke through the scale of previous exhibitions in terms of product display, dividing it into a product area and a Jiuwu case library. It intensively showcased advanced membrane separation technologies and equipment applied in core areas such as industrial wastewater zero discharge, new energy services, and membrane water treatment, covering the full range of products including ceramic membranes, organic membranes, adsorbents, and integrated equipment, comprehensively demonstrating its research and development strength and industrialization achievements in the field of environmental protection membrane technology.
In the product area, Jiuwu Hi-tech, as the pioneer of ceramic membrane technology in China, not only displayed traditional ceramic membrane equipment but also showcased organic membranes and silicon carbide ceramic membranes at the IE Expo.
Jiuwu Hi-tech has years of mass production experience with its organic membrane products. Through years of iteration and upgrading, it has successively established three large workshops and five production lines in the national-level green factory, including the roll membrane production line, hollow fiber column membrane production line, hollow fiber curtain membrane production line, non-woven fabric tube membrane production line, and sintered tube membrane production line. Covering a wide range of application fields, it is suitable for various industries such as water and material separation and concentration.
Jiuwu Hi-tech silicon carbide ceramic membrane is sintered at temperatures above 2000°C, with excellent corrosion resistance (adapting to strong acids and bases, including hydrofluoric acid), excellent thermal shock resistance (low thermal expansion coefficient, resistant to rapid temperature changes), and high treatment capacity (large flux, low energy consumption). Its uniform pore structure and efficient filtration performance make it particularly suitable for fields such as ammonium phosphate production, powder washing, organic wastewater treatment, and catalyst recovery.
By combining advanced pretreatment + membrane integrated concentration treatment system + efficient evaporation crystallization and other water treatment technologies, Jiuwu Hi-tech has built the world's first zero-discharge complete engineering for pulp and paper wastewater, saving 40,000 tons of water per day and 51 million tons of water per year, winning the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2019.
Using "microfiltration-ultrafiltration-nanofiltration-reverse osmosis" membrane integrated technology to transform the "solid-liquid separation, purification, concentration" process in the plant extraction/Chinese medicine industry, breaking through traditional plant extraction/Chinese medicine refined separation methods.
For the acidic wastewater produced in the sulfuric acid process of titanium dioxide production, the membrane integrated process is used to treat titanium white acidic wastewater, recovering products such as metatitanic acid, titanium dioxide, and ferrous sulfate, reducing the by-product amount of titanium gypsum and the usage of neutralizing agents, realizing the resource utilization treatment of titanium white acidic wastewater.
Jiuwu Hi-tech is one of the few domestic providers mastering the complete process of "adsorption + membrane" method for lithium extraction from salt lakes, including core materials, process technology, commissioning, installation, and operation services.
On the opening day of IE Expo, Jiuwu Hi-tech won the title of Top 100 Enterprises at IE Expo with its outstanding innovation ability, advanced technical strength, and outstanding contribution to environmental protection.
At this IE Expo, Jiuwu Hi-tech made a brilliant appearance with multiple "star" products and innovative solutions, attracting the attention of many industry experts, corporate representatives, and professional visitors. Among them, the high-filled column ceramic membrane became the focus of the exhibition with its significant advantages of high flux, large filtration area, and wide application scenarios. This product has been successfully applied in multiple projects in Zhoushan, Inner Mongolia, and other places, receiving unanimous praise from customers and highlighting Jiuwu Hi-tech’s excellent competence in membrane technology applications.
During the exhibition, Jiuwu Hi-tech’s technical expert team delivered six content-rich keynote speeches, which were also live-streamed online through the official platform. From "Engineering Innovation of High-Filled Ceramic Membranes" to "Technical Breakthroughs of Organic Tubular Membranes in Treating High-Concentration Wastewater," from "New Membrane Methods for Resource Recovery of Waste Acid and Alkali" to "Cost Optimization and Energy Efficiency Improvement of Zero Discharge Systems," the speech content closely addressed the pain points of the "pollution and carbon reduction" industry, offering both in-depth analysis of technical principles and practical experience sharing from on-site projects.
The venue was fully packed, with the aisles crowded with audience members stopping to listen. The Q&A session was full of enthusiasm, with many corporate representatives engaging in in-depth discussions with experts on issues such as zero-discharge process routes in coal chemical industry and technical details of new energy material purification, forming intensive interactions with audiences both online and offline reaching thousands.
In addition, Jiuwu Hi-tech also held a series of lottery activities, where the audience could receive a fine gift by scanning the QR code on the poster.
Jiuwu Hi-tech will take the IE Expo as a new coordinate, transforming the "Top 100" honor into innovative power, continually overcoming technical barriers in high-difficulty separation scenarios, enabling membrane water treatment and resource utilization technologies to replace imports in more "bottleneck" fields. It will accelerate its pace in areas such as industrial wastewater zero discharge, new energy material purification, and lithium extraction from salt lakes, providing more "Chinese membrane solutions" for global industrial green transformation.
