Download or read book Evaluation of Membrane Fouling by Nanopollutants During Water Reclamation written by Turaj Ben Hosseini and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As membrane filtration processes are becoming more widespread for water reclamation, their energy utilization is being investigated. Membrane fouling is key to reducing energy requirements, which in turn lowers running costs. Nanomaterials have the potential to cause pore plugging of the membranes, which is very difficult to mitigate. This study seeks to: (1) evaluate the impact of select particles sizes on flux through MF and UF hollow fiber membranes; (2) estimate the energy reduction due to removal of nanomaterial. Particle size distribution analysis was conducted on several samples throughout this study. Results show that as wastewater samples are filtered with increasingly smaller pore sized filters the count rate in the filtrate samples are reduced, showing that not only the larger particles were removed, but the overall number of particles is decreased by the filtration process. Flux analysis of MF membranes (200 nm pore size) showed that particles between 100 and 2.5 nm contributed the most to the membrane fouling. This also indicates that a significant portion of the fouling is due to nanoparticles clogging of the pores within the membrane rather than fouling due to cake formation. The results presented in this report show that energy consumption in membrane filtration processes can be significantly reduced through the removal of nanomaterial.

Download or read book Development of the Modified Fouling Index for the Assessment of Membrane Fouling Propensity written by Javeed Mohammed Abdul and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stringent water quality regulations by water quality authorities are prompting the water suppliers to adopt new water treatment technologies. Conventional water treatment methods such as coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and filtration are being replaced by membrane processes such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis due to comparatively less chemicals usage and higher efficiency... The main impediment in the successful and economical application of these membrane processes is membrane fouling which can be defined as the unwanted deposition of feed impurities on the membrane surface during the filtration process... Parameters which measure the fouling propensity... are called fouling indices. Fouling indices commonly used in the water industry are the silt density index (SDI) and the modified fouling index (MFI). The aims of this study are: 1. to investigate the MFI a) to identify better the foulants that actually cause membrane fouling, and b) in a procedure that more closely simulates fouling in the RO membrane modules, and 2. to compare the standard MFI with CFS-MFI.

Download or read book Osmotically Driven Membrane Processes written by Hongbo Du and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osmotically driven membrane processes (ODMPs) including forward osmosis (FO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) have attracted increasing attention in fields such as water treatment, desalination, power generation, and life science. In contrast to pressure-driven membrane processes, e.g., reverse osmosis, which typically employs applied high pressure as driving force, ODMPs take advantages of naturally generated osmotic pressure as the sole source of driving force. In light of this, ODMPs possess many advantages over pressure-driven membrane processes. The advantages include low energy consumption, ease of equipment maintenance, low capital investment, high salt rejection, and high water flux. In the past decade, over 300 academic papers on ODMPs have been published in a variety of application fields. The number of such publications is still rapidly growing. The ODMPs' approach, fabrications, recent development and applications in wastewater treatment, power generation, seawater desalination, and gas absorption are presented in this book.
