Electrochemical technologies combined with membrane filtration

Combined membrane filtration-electrochemical microbial detection method.

The electrochemical method was used successfully to detect Escherichia coli cells retained on membrane filters. Preliminary results suggest that the combined technique could be used to predict the microbial loading of water samples.

Advanced treatment of textile wastewater for reuse using electrochemical oxidation and membrane filtration

The treatment of textile wastewater for reuse using an electrochemical oxidation step combined with a membrane filtration step is reported in this paper. The electrolytical process is a traditional one, which is easy to scale up and to apply in practice. This paper proposes a modification of the transfer-flow membrane (TFM) module with fibres welded in an arc-shape to enhance the mechanical pro...

Electrochemical technologies in wastewater treatment

This paper reviews the development, design and applications of electrochemical technologies in water and wastewater treatment. Particular focus was given to electrodeposition, electrocoagulation (EC), electroflotation (EF) and electrooxidation. Over 300 related publications were reviewed with 221 cited or analyzed. Electrodeposition is effective in recover heavy metals from wastewater streams. ...

Physical Backwash Optimization in Membrane Filtration Processes: Seawater Ultrafiltration Case

Seawater ultrafi ltration (UF) as a pretreatment of reverse osmosis (RO) process in a thermal power plant was investigated using a 100 kDa hollow fi ber membrane. The choice of the UF physical backwash conditions remains arbitrary or ensuing from a sensibility study. As the optimum must take into account the factors interactions, we led a response surface study to analy...
