Membrane technology presents an effective solution for treating oily wastewater, a significant environmental hazard stemming from industries such as food processing, metalworking, and oil extraction. Compared to polymeric membranes, ceramic ones exhibit superior mechanical, chemical, thermal stability, enabling more removal easier cleaning. Despite their advantages, membrane fouling remains challenge, impacting the efficiency of wastewater treatment. This review explores characteristics...
A simple, analytical method for predicting transport of uncharged organic solutes through nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is presented in this paper. The requires characterization key solute membrane parameters—namely, size, pore solute−membrane affinity. All three parameters can be experimentally determined from relatively simple permeation tests contact angle analyses. are fed into an model transport, which accounts hindered convection diffusion the pores, as well...
High-silica zeolites can be used for adsorption of organic compounds (OCs) from water. The efficacy could vary with the properties OCs, as well porous and surface features high-silica zeolites. In this study, triclosan, trichlorophenol (TCP) phenol by ten were investigated. plateaus isotherms observed in triclosan. maximum capacity triclosan related to area volume micropores. TCP FAU gave an S-shaped isotherm due possible lateral interactions molecules specific pore topology had no plateau....
Spiral-wound membrane (SWM) modules are the most common configuration utilized in reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration. The enhancement of SWM module design, particularly geometric design feed spacer, can play a crucial role cost potential for wider application these modules. spacer influences flux, pressure losses fouling process consequently product water unit cost. Despite shift RO toward low salinity sources resulting higher sensitivity performance using waters, orientation spacers...
Ceramic membranes have drawn increasing attention in oily wastewater treatment as an alternative to their traditional polymeric counterparts, yet persistent membrane fouling is still one of the largest challenges. Particularly, little known about ceramic by oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions constant flux filtration modes. In this study, effects emulsion chemistry (surfactant concentration, pH, salinity and Ca2+) operation parameters (permeate time) were comparatively evaluated for alumina silicon...
Natural organic matter (NOM) can influence pharmaceutical adsorption onto granular activated carbon (GAC) by direct competition and pore blocking. However, in the literature there is limited information on which of these mechanisms more important how this related to NOM properties. Adsorption batch experiments were carried out ultrapure, waste- surface water fresh preloaded GAC was used. Twenty-one pharmaceuticals selected with varying hydrophobicity neutral, negative or positive charge. The...
The adsorption of organic micropollutants (OMPs) on high-silica zeolites is characterized by isotherms with various shapes. occurrence an S-shaped isotherm indicates the lack affinity for OMPs at low, environmentally relevant equilibrium concentrations. In this study, were observed during batch experiments 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) and FAU zeolites. This first time that reported Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in grand-canonical ensemble used to obtain a better understanding mechanism...
Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes are of particular significance for wastewater treatment due to their mechanical strength, chemical stability, and antifouling ability. Currently, the prepared by SiC-particle sintering at a high temperature. The production suffers from long time costs. In this paper, we demonstrated more economical way produce SiC ultrafiltration based on low-pressure vapor deposition (LPCVD). was deposited in pores alumina microfiltration supports using two precursors...
