Flux Decline Study of Tubular Ceramic and Flat Sheet UF Membranes in Textile Wastewater Treatment

Progress and Perspective of Antifouling, Pressure Driven, Flat-Sheet Nanocomposite, Polymeric Membranes in Water Treatment

Membrane filtration, especially based on the size exclusion phenomenon, has long been established due to its abilities to addressing the growing demands of the clean water of the world’s population. However, widespread applications of the membranes face several challenges including chemical vulnerability, thermal deterioration, and biological degradation of the membranes that transpire while re...

Separation Properties of Wastewater Containing O/W Emulsion Using Ceramic Microfiltration/Ultrafiltration (MF/UF) Membranes

Washing systems using water soluble detergent are used in electrical and mechanical industries and the wastewater containing O/W emulsion are discharged from these systems. Membrane filtration has large potential for the efficient separation of O/W emulsion for reuses of treated water and detergent. The separation properties of O/W emulsions by cross-flow microfiltration and ultrafiltration wer...

Treatment of Industrial Effluents by MF and UF Ceramic Membranes: Comparative Study using Commercial and Elaborated Tunisian Clay Membranes

In the area of waste water treatment, membrane processes are often used in combination with other processes to treat very complex effluents which have often an important load of organic substances and salt. The membrane process would enhance the water treaded quality in order to water reuse [1]. Membrane can be in polymer or in inorganic material. Ceramic membranes have several advantages compa...

Textile Dyeing Wastewater Treatment

Textile industry can be classified into three categories viz., cotton, woolen, and synthetic fibers depending upon the used raw materials. The cotton textile industry is one of the oldest industries in China. The textile dyeing industry consumes large quantities of water and produces large volumes of wastewater from different steps in the dyeing and finishing processes. Wastewater from printing...
