Ceramic Membranes Oily Wastewater Treatment

Nowadays integrated microfiltration mf membrane systems treatment is becoming widely popular due to its feasibility process reliability commercial availability modularity relative insensitivity in case of wastewater of various industrial sources as well as raw water treatment and lower operating costs.

Ceramic membranes oily wastewater treatment.

Membranes review ceramic microfiltration membranes in wastewater treatment. Oily wastewater treatment using a zirconia ceramic membrane a literature review 5 ceramic membranes are usually obtained by sol gel technique but also by isostatic compression reverse phase. The well thought out designed and implemented use of membranes can decrease capital. Among various wastewater treatment processes ceramic membranes have the edge to treat oily wastewater and separate chromium from waste streams.

Wastewater and water treatment methods include both physical methods such as sedimentation and filtration membranes media filtration and chemical methods such as coagulation ph adjustments addition of anti scalants and acids 4 5 regardless of its domestic municipal or industrial origin wastewater is a serious environmental constraint that dictates effective treatment for its safe. In this novel study based on previous experiences on fabrication of low cost and high performance ceramic membranes for oily wastewater treatment processes cheap kaolin natural zeolite and activated carbon powder have been employed in the membrane structure to improve the pf and toc rejection. However few studies are related to the application of inorganic ceramic membranes on oily wastewater treatment.

Ceramic membrane is extensively used in water and wastewater treatment which include oil field injection water paper industry waste water landfill leachate palm oil wastewater textil and printing industry wastewater oily wastewater titanium dioxide wastewater fermentation chemical industry wastewater desalination seawater treatment and degreasing liquid treatment and other aspects. Many studies of membrane separation for oily wastewater treatment have been reported particularly in ultrafiltration uf and reverse osmosis ro with organic membranes. This article presents the review of ceramic membrane for the treatment of oily and chromium wastewater. For ceramic membranes microfiltration process targeting wastewater treatment is promising.

Therefore a reduction in the cost of oxide ceramic membranes would be significant in order to improve competitiveness.
