Reverse osmosis purification: A case study of the Niger Delta region

Abstract

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is faced with the problem of drinking water supply. Different methods of water purification were compared and reverse osmosis was considered a choice method for the experiment. Among the region's brackish water reserves with heavy metal contamination, nickel and cobalt were considered. Model solutions of nickel and cobalt were prepared to mimic the brackish water contamination levels and were purified with cellulose acetate reverse osmosis membrane. Experimental results showed that purifications were more dependent on the overall salt concentrations and not on individual components.

Monitoring The Quality of a Reverse Osmosis System in The Energy Systems of The Milk Processing Plant

“…Water is an essential element for the development of industrial activity, agriculture and agriculture and energy production. The volumes of water used by the industrial sector are sector is the largest consumer of fresh water, and the volumes of water used by the industrial freshwater [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Some industries, such as the plant, have their own raw water raw water treatment plants to fulfill their functions.…”

Facile Fabrication of High-Performance Thin Film Nanocomposite Desalination Membranes Imbedded with Alkyl Group-Capped Silica Nanoparticles

“…Owing to its low energy consumption and efficiency, reverse osmosis (RO) has become the most popular purification methods to provide for clean water needs through membrane-based processes such as desalination, water reclamation, and water detoxification, etc. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. The RO membrane technology still faces the problems of membrane fouling and scaling in the practical application, which seriously lower membrane performance and restricts further development [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Preparation of terpyridine-functionalized paramagnetic nickel–zinc ferrite microspheres for adsorbing Pb(ii), Hg(ii), and Cd(ii) from water

“…6,7 Therefore, people have paid more attention to the detection and disposal of heavy metal ions in various water settings. Many methods have been established for separating and removing toxic metal ions from waste-water, which include the sedimentation method, 8 membrane ltration method, 9 phytoremediation method, 10 occulation method, 11,12 ion-exchange method 13,14 and the adsorption method. Among them, the adsorption method is widely applied with simple operation and low energy consumption.…”
