A New Polyvinylidene Fluoride Membrane Synthesized by Integrating of Powdered Activated Carbon for Treatment of Stabilized Leachate

Stabilized landfill leachate contains a wide variety of highly concentrated non-biodegradable organics, which are extremely toxic to the environment. Though numerous techniques have been developed for treatment, advanced membrane filtration is one most environmentally friendly methods purify wastewater effectively. In current study, novel polymeric was produced by integrating powdered activated carbon (PAC) on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) synthesize thin using phase inversion method. The design optimized response surface methodology (RSM). fabricated effectively applied stabilized cross-flow ring (CFR) test. findings suggested that properties were enhanced through incorporation PAC. optimum removal efficiencies (14.9 wt.% PVDF, 1.0 PAC) 35.34, 48.71, and 22.00% COD, colour NH3-N, respectively. Water flux transmembrane pressure also incorporated PAC recorded 61.0 L/m2·h 0.67 bar, respectively, under conditions efficiency. Moreover, performance membranes in terms pollutant removal, pure water permeation, different morphological characteristics systematically analyzed. Despite limited achievement, might be improved addition hydrophilic additive, study offers an efficient way fabricate PVDF-PAC optimize its treatability RSM tool.
