Membranes are widely used in wastewater treatment. In this study, cellulose acetate (CA) (Mw = 52,000) was mixed with polyethylene glycol (PEG) (Mw = 400) as an additive in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a solvent. The phase inversion method was used for preparation of flat sheet membranes. Effects of CA

Membrane filtration has become firmly established as a primary technology for ensuring the purity, safety and efficiency of treatment of water or effluents. Water desalination is one of the major applications of this technology around the world. Several researches have been performed to develop and

Most widely applied and commercially proven desalination technologies fall into two categories of thermal (evaporative) and membrane based methods. Membrane methods are less energy intensive than thermal methods and since energy consumption directly affects the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of

With the aid of atomic absorption, a systematical and analytical evaluation method called Taguchi’s quality engineering has been applied for the separation of copper ions from a solution using a laboratory electrodialysis set-up to evaluate the optimal experimental conditions and hence to achieve th

An investigation of wastewater treatment by ultrafiltration (UF) is introduced. In the experiments a UF membrane (UFPHT20-6338) and samples of Behshahr Ind. Co. wastewater as feed were used. The effect of operating conditions such as pressure difference, cross flow velocity, shear stress, temperatur

The main problem in treating oil in water emulsions by membrane technologies is fouling caused by oil adsorption on the membrane surface. Among these technologies, microfiltration has been used in many fields of oil–water emulsions. The effect of operating conditions on a microfilter (home made) wit

In this paper the results obtained from investigations on a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane fouled by precipitation of materials which exist in water are presented. In these studies, the effect of different cleaning agents on recovery of the fouled membrane has been shown. Results show that a com
