Treatment of Wool Scouring Wastewater by Immobilized Chitosan Bio-Membrane
نویسنده
چکیده
A Chitosan/sucrose/polyurethane composite bio-membrane was prepared by the facile drop coating method. The composite bio-membrane had a porous spongy structure composed of a physical mixing of each component. The water absorbability of the composite bio-membrane increased with increasing chitosan and sucrose contents. Furthermore, the composite bio-membrane with immobilized Aspergillus sojae exhibited excellent degradation ability in treating wool scouring wastewater. After the treatment the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) of the wastewater could be decreased to 198mg/L from 12000mg/L and to 125mg/L from 1935mg/L, respectively. Moreover, it was shown that N and P contents in the fertilizer continuously increased with composting time.

The proposed procedure to produce low polluting effluent consists of a combination of coagulation-flocculation and membrane separation process. The main role of the coagulation-flocculation process is the simultaneous enhancement of removal efficiency and increase the permeate flux by minimizing the membrane fouling. Membrane fouling has a significant impact on the cost, design, and operation o...

Chitosan/polyethersulfone (CS/PES) composite membrane was prepared from casting chitosan solution on polyethersulfone substrate membrane. The Substrate membrane was prepared by phase inversion technique using polyethersulfone (PES) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvent with and without the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as pore-forming agent. The effects of the composition of the c...
متن کامل2nd National Hazardous & Solid Waste Convention STABILISATION OF WOOL SCOURING SLUDGE BY COMPOSTING
Wool scouring sludge is the solid waste product of anaerobic treatment of wool scouring effluent. It has a high wool grease content (1316% of the dry weight, 45 -55% of the organic matter), resulting in a low melting point (approx. 45°C). The low melting point, the putty-like physical properties and the odourous. unstable nature of the sludge makes it unsuitable for land application in its raw ...
