Ceramic Membranes For Water And Wastewater Treatment

In this review article the key types of ceramic membranes that are applied in water and wastewater treatment are described and analysed.

Ceramic membranes for water and wastewater treatment.

A critical review on current status and future perspectives of ceramic based membranes for water and wastewater treatment is given. Membranes review ceramic microfiltration membranes in wastewater treatment. Ceramic membranes have been at the epicenter of recent advances and research in membrane development and further growth in the area of water and wastewater treatment with the scope being focused in results being geared towards creating a greater membrane area without compromising mechanical strength. The well thought out designed and implemented use of membranes can decrease capital.

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. Common ceramic membranes made of alumina zirconia titania silica and zeolite are described and their advantages and disadvantages are compared and discussed. Highly efficient and economic treatment of wastewater sludges and wastewaters in one way is a challenging issue in the water treatment field.

Common ceramic membranes including those made of alumina zirconia titania silica and zeolite are presented first where their advantages and disadvantages are compared and discussed. Herein we present a waste to resource strategy for rational fabrication of low cost ceramic membranes which simultaneously addresses the treatment of heavy metal laden sludges and the separation of oil in water o w emulsions. 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. Ceramic membrane with acid and alkali resistance high mechanical strength narrow pore size distribution and long life so it s applied in.

The cold emulsion wastewater treatment is the most difficult the general treatment of oily wastewater are flotation adsorption biological chemical etc but are difficult to get good treatment effect. The demand for more chemically and thermally stable membranes in water and wastewater treatment is growing rapidly over the past few years.
