چکیده
DWTP RO brine disposal options have been studied in this work in terms of technical and economic feasibility. Different pretreatment sequences combining acidification and aeration were carried out and evaluated batchwise in a plate and frame DCMD system at feed and permeate temperatures of 54°C and 21°C respectively. Results showed that acidification provides a simple and inexpensive process in which the initial volume can be reduced by 50% before salts start to precipitate. Aeration followed by acidification provided a volume reduction of 66%, which cannot justify its high OPEX. However, further research in bubbling conditions has the potential to make it a viable process. These pretreatments followed by MD have the potential to become a solid ZLD alternative. Unfortunately, costs derived from brine discharge into the sea are too low to impulse investigation of these technologies

Bentazon removal from aqueous solution by reverse osmosis; optimization of effective parameters using response surface methodology
Although bentazon is widely used as an agricultural herbicide, it is harmful to humans and poses many environmental threats. This study focused on the treatment of wastewater contaminated with bentazon pesticides using membrane technology. In this regard, low-pressure reverse osmosis (RO) was employed as it has already been used in the removal of other micro-pollutants. The effects of process v...

Seawater reverse osmosis desalination (SWRO) requires less energy compared with the distillation method and thus is an important technology except Middle Eastern countries whereenergy costs are higher. Recently, even Middle Eastern countries where the distillation method is still a major technology, have begun adopting the RO method in new desalinationplants in line with government ...
متن کاملComparison the performance of different reverse osmosis membrane modules by CFD modeling
Reverse osmosis is a commonly used process in water desalination. Due to the scarcity of freshwater resources and wastewater problems, a lot of theory and experimental studies have been conducted to optimize this process. In the present study, the performance of reverse osmosis membrane module of salt–water separation was simulated based on computational fluid dynamics technique and solution-di...
متن کاملEffect of Organoclay on the Performance of Reverse Osmosis Membrane
This study investigated the effect of Cloisite15A (C15A) organoclay in the substrate layer on the performance of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. The substrate of the RO membranes was modified using different loading of C15A (ranging from 0.3 - 0.7 wt%) within polysulfone (PSf) substrate and the polyamide (PA) selective layer was formed on the top. Effect of the modified substrate layer on the w...
