Performance optimization of a 5 nm TiO2 ceramic membrane with respect to beverage production wastewater

Review on natural clay ceramic membrane: Fabrication and application in water and wastewater treatment

“…(Ghouil et al, 2015) and b) multilayer ceramic membrane (Duscher, 2013) Ceramic membranes are sketching a lot of interest because of their advantages such as good corrosion resistance, high thermal stability, high-pressure applications and long service life (Jana et al, 2011). They can work well at temperature as high as 500 °C and also can be applied in the pH range of 1 to 14 (Kumar et al, 2015;Benfer et al, 2001;Agana et al, 2013). The oil remaining on the ceramic membrane, for example, can be removed by thermal treatment and can withstand temperatures up to several hundred ºF (Khemakhem et al, 2013;AMTA, 2014).…”

Impacts of operating conditions on nanofiltration of secondary-treated two-phase olive mill wastewater

“…Membrane technology has effectively replaced many conventional processes in the purification of water and groundwater as well as in the reclamation of wastewater streams of very diverse sources, e.g. agro-industrial activities (Agana et al, 2013;B odalo et al, 2003;Iaquinta et al, 2009;Luo and Ding, 2011;Ochando-Pulido et al, 2012Stoller and Bravi, 2010). The availability of new membrane materials, designs, module concepts and know-how has improved its credibility among investors in the recent years.…”

Technical optimization of an integrated UF/NF pilot plant for conjoint batch treatment of two-phase olives and olive oil washing wastewaters

“…In the past years, ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been increasingly implemented in water treatment processes for decontamination of wastewater of very diverse nature, including agro-food industries such as dairy [2], tomato [3], beverage [4], winery [5] and olive oil [6][7][8]. Today, UF and NF membrane operations have replaced most conventional separation proceedings in many wastewater treatment processes, as a result of the wide range of advantages of the former if compared to the latter, highlighting the lower specific energy consumption, minor investment and maintenance costs and higher efficiency.…”
