Application of a New Self-Cleaning Filter for Colored Wastewaters Treatment Using Laccase Enzyme Immobilized on Activated CARBON powder and fiber
The objective of this work is investigation of the adsorption and decomposition of Reactive Blue 19 from industrial wastewaters using laccase enzyme immobilized on activated carbon powder and fiber as adsorbent. Time, pH, temperature, stirring rate, the amount of the adsorbent, dye initial concentration, solution flow rate in the column and column height were studied as key operating parame...
متن کاملInfluence of formulated chemical cleaning reagents on the surface properties and separation efficiency of nanofiltration membranes
This study investigated the impact of two caustic and one acidic cleaning formulations (namely MC11, PC98, and MC3, respectively) on the properties and separation efficiency of three different nanofiltration (NF) membranes (namely NF270, NF90 and TFC-SR100). Overall, the impact of chemical cleaning on surface properties and rejection was membrane and cleaning reagent specific. It was driven mos...
متن کاملMechanisms Involved in Osmotic Backwashing of Fouled Forward Osmosis (FO) Membranes
Organic matter leads to one of the biggest problems in membranes: fouling. Developing efficient cleaning processes is therefore crucial. This study systematically examines how alginic acid fouling formed under different physical and chemical conditions affect osmotic backwashing cleaning efficiency in forward osmosis (FO). The fouling layer thickness before and after osmotic backwashing was mea...
متن کاملSize-selective separation of macromolecules by nanochannel titania membrane with self-cleaning (declogging) ability.
We report on a simple and self-organizing process for the fabrication of TiO(2) nanochannel membranes with a channel width of 8-10 nm that can be used for size selective separation of macromolecules (proteins). The membrane, consisting of self-aligned oxide channels, is formed by complete anodization of a thin Ti foil under specific electrochemical conditions in a glycerol-phosphate electrolyte...
متن کاملRemoval of trace organics from water using a pumped bed-membrane bioreactor with powdered activated carbon
A pumped bed-membrane bioreactor (PB-MBR) combining powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption with bacterial degradation was studied for the purification of tap water, spiked with 2 mg/l of phenanthrene, to sub-ppm levels. The feedwater was supplemented with nitrogen and phosphorous to reach a COD:N:P ratio of 100:10:1. PAC concentration was maintained at 5 g/l. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) flat-sh...
