A Flux Declination Predication Model for Nanoparticle-Containing Wastewaters Treated by a Simultaneous Electrocoagulation/Electrofiltration Process

Liu, Chun 15 February 2007 (has links)
A flux declination predication model for nanoparticle-containing wastewaters treated by a simultaneous electrocoagulation/electro- filtration (EC/EF) process was investigated by perceiving blocked membrane pores, concentration polarization layer, cake layer, and applied electric field strength in this study. As nanotechnology develops, it has been used in many applications. However, its environmental impacts have not been extensively studied. Membrane technology is one of the direct and effective treatment methods for removing nanoparticles from wastewater. But nanoparticle-containing wastewater treated by membrane technology would face the problem of membrane fouling. In this study, oxide chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) wastewater, copper CMP wastewater, and nanosized TiO2-containing wastewater were treated by a EC/EF treatment module. In the EC/EF treatment module, iron, aluminum, and stainless steel were respectively selected as th anode and cathode. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with a nominal pore size of 0.1 £gm and carbon/Al2O3 tubular inorganic composite membranes with a pore size ranging from 2 to 10 nm were used in this work. In this work, the changes of the relevant performance of membrane with changes of applied pressure (9.8-19.6 kPa), crossflow velocity (0.3-0.5 m/s) and applied electric filed strength (25-233 V/cm) were studied. The simulation results of a modified mathematic model showed that the flux declination would be fitted finely by an exponential function. Experimental results showed that a higher transmembrane pressure would yield a higher cake concentration and a higher crossflow velocity would yield the steady flux quickly. Overall speaking, the flux declination for nanoparticle-containing wastewaters treated by a simulataneous EC/EF process was described properly as a exponential form. The exponential function could simply show the flux declination of different samples treated by different modules in different situations.
