Wastewater treatment using a hybrid system combining adsorption, photocatalytic degradation and membrane filtration processes
摘要： In the present study, Chooka’s Wastewater treatment was investigated using di?erent combinations of adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, and membrane ?ltration process. Polymeric membranes were fabricated using wet phase inversion method employing polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and dimethylformamide (DMF) as a polymer matrix, hydrophilic additive, and solvent, respectively. Activated carbon and TiO2 nanoparticles were selected as an adsorbent and photocatalyst, respectively. TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol-gel method and activated carbon was purchased from Merck Company. Liquid-liquid displacement (LLDP), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and contact angle tests were implemented to characterize the fabricated membranes. FT-IR and XRD analysis were also used for TiO2 nanoparticles characterization. The wastewater of Iran pulp and paper factory (Chooka) was used as the feed in separation processes. In hybrid separation systems, 6 di?erent con?gurations were considered and wastewater compositions were measured to determine the e?ectiveness of the utilized processes before and after treatment. Accordingly, the mean pore size of the fabricated PAN/PVP (16%/3%) membrane obtained from LLDP analysis was 9.72 nm. SEM results also indicated thicker active layer for the PAN/PVP membrane than that of the neat PAN membrane. According to the results of the contact angle tests, with the increasing of PVP content in the polymer matrix, the hydrophilicity of membranes improved. It was also found that membrane ?ltration had the best performance among single stage processes and the best separation performance was achieved when photocatalytic degradation, adsorption, and membrane ?ltration were used in series, respectively.

Photocatalytic filtration reactors equipped with bi-plasmonic nanocomposite/poly acrylic acid-modified polyamide membranes for industrial wastewater treatment
摘要： In this study, two new composite membranes with antifouling and anti-biofouling properties were prepared through the modification of commercial polyamide (PA) discs using combination of in-situ polymerization of polyacrylic acid (PAA) and grafting of two synthesized bi-plasmonic Au-Ag and Ag-Au photocatalysts. The synthesis and characterization of the photocatalysts in batch mode were discussed in details as primary studies. Two intense 405-nm and 532-nm lasers for Ag-Au and Au-Ag photocatalysts, respectively and a solar-simulated xenon lamp for both photocatalysts were applied for photodegradation studies and the results were compared. In addition, the effect of other parameters such as type and amount of photocatalysts, and initial concentration of pollutants on the degradation efficiency of ofloxacin (OFX) and methylene blue (MB) as the model pollutant drug and dye were comprehensively investigated and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption model was used for evaluation of kinetics, degradation rate and half-life time of the reactions. After selection of xenon lamp as the optimum light source, the photodegradation of OFX and MB was evaluated in a dead-end membrane reactor (MR) and flux performance, antifouling property and pollutant removal of the membranes were evaluated using pharmaceutical and textile wastewater samples. In addition, the antibacterial activity of the prepared membranes was evaluated using Gram-negative E. coli bacteria as the model microorganism using thin film assay and Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion methods to examine the anti-biofouling potential of the constructed reactors. It was demonstrated that the prepared MR is able to produce cleaner water with more stable ?ux performance and good membrane fouling/biofouling properties in energy saving manner with respect to the unmodified ones.
