Membrane processes for water recovery and decontamination (original) (raw)

A Review of Membranes Classifications, Configurations, Surface Modifications, Characteristics and Its Applications in Water Purification

2017

Today, membrane separation technologies are widely used in many areas of water and wastewater treatment. Membrane processes can be used to produce potable water from surface water, groundwater, brackish water, or seawater, or to treat industrial wastewaters before they are discharged or reused. Membrane separation systems have many advantages over traditional water or wastewater treatment processes, lower operating and maintenance costs in comparison to conventional systems consisting of coagulation, clarification, and aerobic and anaerobic treatments. • Membrane separation systems are easy to operate and the performance is more reliable. • Membrane systems give a compact and modular construction, which occupies less floor space in comparison to the conventional treatment systems. In this review, we will introduce fundamental concepts of the membrane and membrane-separation processes, such as membrane definition, membrane classification, membrane formation, module configuration, tra...

Pretreatment of Water before Application of Membrane Separation: Focus on NOM Removal

https://www.ijrrjournal.com/IJRR\_Vol.4\_Issue.1\_Jan2017/Abstract\_IJRR004.html, 2017

Water reuse and recycle is becoming important for conservation of water resources. Primary, secondary and tertiary treatments with physical, biological and chemical techniques are conventionally used for treatment. The physico-chemical treatments are widely used for water treatment and removal of organic matter. Use of membrane separation can be done for water purification. Many investigators have explored possibility of use of membrane separation for wastewater and domestic water treatment. The membranes are prone to contaminate and undergo fouling. The presence of natural organic matter affects the membrane performance. The current review is aimed at reviewing research and studies on membrane separation for organic matter removal.

Recent Advances in Water and Wastewater Treatment with Emphasis in Membrane Treatment Operations

Water

The present Special Issue brought together recent research findings from renowned scientists in this field and assembled contributions on advanced technologies that have been applied to the treatment of wastewater and drinking water, with an emphasis on novel membrane treatment technologies. The 12 research contributions highlight various processes and technologies that can achieve the effective treatment and purification of wastewater and drinking water, aiming (occasionally) for water reuse. The published papers can be classified into three major categories. (a) First, there are those that investigate the application of membrane treatment processes, either directly or in hybrid processes. The role of organic matter presence and fouling control is the main aim of the research in some of these studies. (b) Second, there are studies that investigate the application of adsorptive processes for the removal of contaminants from waters, such as arsenic, antimony, or chromate, with the ai...

Membrane Removal of Emerging Contaminants from Water: Which Kind of Membranes Should We Use?

Membranes

Membrane technologies are nowadays widely used; especially various types of filtration or reverse osmosis in households, desalination plants, pharmaceutical applications etc. Facing water pollution, they are also applied to eliminate emerging contaminants from water. Incomplete knowledge directs the composition of membranes towards more and more dense materials known for their higher selectivity compared to porous constituents. This paper evaluates advantages and disadvantages of well-known membrane materials that separate on the basis of particle size, usually exposed to a large amount of water, versus dense hydrophobic membranes with target transport of emerging contaminants through a selective barrier. In addition, the authors present several membrane processes employing the second type of membrane.

Introduction to membrane separations

Membrane separation is finally reaching a level of general acceptance as the powerful tool that it is for residential, commercial and industrial water treatment. Most dealers and users know about Reverse Osmosis separation technology, but there are other membrane separation technologies that you need to know more about.
