Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis Process for the Treatment of Distillery Spent Wash
نویسنده
چکیده
Thin-film composite nano-filtration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes based NF followed by ROpilot plant at a feed pressure of 20 atm.and flow rate of 10 L/min. was used to remove colour, total dissolved solid (TDS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of distillery spent wash. NF was found to be effective for high rejection of TDS, colour and COD by 85%, 99% and 95%, respectively. Furthermore, significant reduction of TDS (97%), colour (99.8%) and COD (99.90%) was achieved from RO runs.

In this study, the applicability of nanofiltration (NF) membranes as a pretreatment prior to reverse osmosis (RO) in seawater desalination was investigated. The membranes used wereNF270 and NF90 as the NF membranes, while the brackish water (BW) RO membrane BW30 was used as the RO membrane. In desalination tests, permeates of the NF membraneswere collected and used as the feed to th...

Cultivation of some top vegetables was made by irrigation with distillery spent wash of different proportions. The spent wash i.e., primary treated spent wash (PTSW), 50% and 33% spent wash were analyzed for its plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical parameters. Experimental soil was tested for its chemical and physical parameters. Top vegetable...
