Abstract

Performance of chemical deacidification of crude palm oil (CPO) using aqueous NaOH solution in a polysulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane was  investigated. The effects of operating temperature, NaOH concentration and flow rates on percentage of free fatty acids (FFA) removal, oil loss, soap entrainment and overall mass transfer coefficient  were  evaluated. Overall mass transfer coefficients, soap content in oil and neutral oil loss all increased  when the  temperature  was increased from 60 to 70°C due to an increase of the FFA distribution value. A minimum 0.25 N of NaOH or a NaOH to FFA  molar ratio  of about 7.62 was  required to facilitate the expected extraction efficiency. The increased oil flowrate slightly enhanced the solute transport kinetics,  while the  aqueous phase flowrate did not significantly influence deacidification efficiency or mass transfer coefficient. About 97% of FFA removal was achieved within 4 hours. The maximum oil loss observed was 11% and the highest  soap content in the  oil without separation step was 3150 ppm. The values  of the  overall mass transfer coefficient varied  from 2.97×10-7 to 7.71×10-7 m/s. These results show the potential of using the non dispersive membrane contacting process for chemical deacidification of CPO as well as other vegetable oils.

Abstract

Mixed matrix anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were synthesized using dry-wet phase inversion. The casting solutions were prepared by dispersing finely ground anion-exchange resin particles in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solutions of polysulfone (PSf). Subsequently, nanosilica particles were introduced into the membranes. The results show that evaporation time (tev) and solution composition contributed to membrane properties formation. A longer tev produces membranes with reduced void fraction inside the membranes, thus the amount of water adsorbed and membrane conductivity are reduced. Meanwhile, the permselectivity was improved by increasing tev, since a longer tev produces membranes with a narrower channel for ion migration and more effective Donnan exclusion. The incorporation of 0.5 %-wt nanosilica particles into the polymer matrix led to conductivity improvement (from 2.27 to 3.41 mS.cm-1). This may be associated with additional pathway formation by hydroxyl groups on the silica surface that entraps water and assists ion migration. However, at further silica loading (1.0 and 1.5 %-wt), these properties decreased (to 1.9 and 1.4 mS.cm-1 respectively), which attributed to inaccessibility of ion-exchange functional groups due to membrane compactness. It was found from the results that nanosilica contributes to membrane formation (increases casting solution viscosity then reduces void fraction) and membrane functional group addition (provides hydroxyl groups).

Abstract

Modification of polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane was conducted by blending polysulfone with PEG400 and acetone as additives. The influence of each additive on the resulted membrane morphology and fouling characteristics were investigated. The experimental results showed that the hydrophilicity of the polysulfone membrane was improved by the increase of PEG400 in the polysulfone membrane. The water contact angle of the membrane was decreased from 76.1° to 38.31° when 35 %wt of PEG400 was added into the polysulfone solution, while the water content of the membrane was increased by around 38%. The high concentration of PEG400 in the polysulfone solution led to the formation of longer finger-like cavities in the membrane structure and resulted in a thicker membrane skin layer. The high concentration of PEG400 also contributed to the increase in hydraulic resistance of the membrane due to organic matter fouling. This problem could be minimized by the addition of acetone into the polysulfone solution, which resulted in a lower fouling resistance of organic matter during up to five hours of peat water filtration.

Abstract

Brine discharge is one of the largest sources of wastewater from industrial processes. Because of the environmental impacts arising from improper treatment of brine discharge and more rigorous regulations of pollution control, industries have started to focus on waste minimization and improving the process of wastewater treatment. Several approaches have been proposed to provide a strategy for brine handling by recovering both brine and water or to remove pollutant components so it complies with environmental regulations when discharged. One of the most promising alternatives to brine disposal is reusing the brine, which results in reduction of pollution, minimizing waste volume and salt recovery. The brine may also contain valuable components that could be recovered for profitable use. Also, water recovery from brine effluent is generally performed to save water. In the case of rejected brine from desalination plants, water recovery from higher brine concentrations has huge potential for salt production. This paper gives an overview of different types of brine effluents, their sources and characteristics. Also discussed are impacts of brine on the environment and management options related to their characteristics.

Abstract

The separation mechanism of proteins on a charged ultrafiltration membrane was analyzed using the extended Nernst–Planck (N-P) model. The model was solved numerically based on experimental data during ultrafiltration of bovine serum albumin/BSA and hemoglobin at various pH (between 5 and 8) to obtain the flux parameter (Jv). The flux parameter was used to determine the effective charge of the membrane (f) and the actual membrane porosity (Ak). These two parameters were then used to predict the transport mechanism of proteins through the charged membrane. Higher flux was obtained during the ultrafiltration of BSA compared to hemoglobin. The most effective separation of mixed proteins occurred at pH 5 (aalbumin= 5). In addition, the mobility of a single protein was lower than when it was mixed with other proteins that had different charges. The effective charges of the membranes were varied between 0.99996 to 1.0000, which means that the fixed charge on the membrane structure was higher than the concentration of proteins, thus the effective charge of the membrane was not influenced by the presence of protein charge at various pH. On the contrary, the value of Ak was influenced by the type and charge of the proteins. A decrease of negative charge along with an increase of solution pH increased the porosity of the membrane, thus reducing the rejection of proteins.

Abstract

Removal of impurities from cooking oil is an important step in providing the possibility of WCO reuse to extend the life cycle of cooking oil, leading to a reduction of WCO disposal. This study was conducted to investigate the performance of a polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membrane for removal of impurities from WCO. The results showed that the membrane could remove water content up to 95% (at 0.1 MPa and 30 °C), but the color improvement was only 9.5% as indicated by the absorbance reduction. Within the range of the operation conditions (i.e. a trans-membrane pressure of 0.1-0.2 MPa and a temperature of 30-50 °C), the oil flux varied from 0.3 L.m‑2.h‑1 to 1.3 L.m-2.h-1. In long-term operation, the membrane wettability was improved as shown by the oil contact angle decreasing from 28.2 ± 1.5° to 14.4 ± 0.5°. This resulted in a higher oil flux. At the same time, the hydrophobicity was also increased, as indicated by an increase in the water contact angle from 95.4 ± 0.7° to 97.3 ± 1.1°.

Abstract

Influence of hydraulic retention time variation of anoxic reactor on reactive azo dye biodegradation using aerob-anoxic membrane bioreactor. Azo dyes, represent the largest class of synthetic dyes used in commercial applications. The release of these compounds into the environment is undesirable, not only because of their colour, but also because many azo dyes and their breakdown products are toxic and/or mutagenic to life. This research used consecutive aerob-anoxic membrane bioreactor for azo dye biodegradation. The bioreactor consists of contact and stabilization reactors operated in aerobic condition and anoxic compartment coupled to external ultrafiltration membrane. Feed consists of Remazol Black-5 in concentration of 150 mg/L and co-substrate of tempe industry wastewater. Experiments were carried out with hydraulic retention time (HRT) in 2, 4 and (½, 1 and 1½) hours in contact, stabilization and anoxic compartments respectively. From co-substrate optimization experiments, 8%v/v tempe industry wastewater resulted maximum TOC removal and optimal biomass growth. The stable color reduction in bioreactor occurred in anoxic compartment with HRT 1½ hrs. Color reduction through membrane resulted relative constant color concentrations. The significant TOC removal took place both in anoxic, contact and stabilization reactors. The experiments resulted color- and TOC removal efficiencies in range of 74-81% and 85-93% respectively.   Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia:  Zat warna azo merupakan grup zat warna sintetis organik yang paling banyak digunakan dalam aplikasi komersial.

Abstract

The  increased  use  of  pesticides  has  led  to many  benefits  such  as  advanced  productivity and lower maintenance costs  in agriculture. On the other hand, their  adverse  effects  have  also  grown : an increase of  the risks to the ecosystem and human health. Pressure driven technique such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration have the potentiality to remove hazardous organic micropollutants such as pesticides. The rejection characteristic of artificial water with 10 ppb concentration of endosulfan and organochlorine pesticides from upper Citarum water shed sample were investigated with a commercial low pressure reverse osmosis unit on laboratory scale. Rejection and flux were measured with a varied operational parameters ; pH, pressure, and feed concentration. Endosulfan rejection was achieved > 80% with all varied operational parameters. There was a little dependence permeate flux and percent of rejection on pH. An increasing pressure caused a higher permeate flux while there was no effect of an increasing pressure to higher percentage of endosulfan rejection. An increasing feed concentration caused a lower permeate flux due to an increasing osmotic pressure.  An increasing feed concentration also result in an increasing percent of endosulfan rejection. Organochlorine pesticides found in river water sample which are lindane, aldrin, and heptachlor were all rejected 100%. This may be caused by natural organic matter present in river water and hydrophobicity. Percent rejection was constant to pressure and pH variation. Keywords : Low Pressure Reverse Osmosis, Organochlorine Pesticides, Pressure, pH, Feed Concentration

Abstract

Nowadays, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion has become an important topic in many industries. Petroleum industry is one of these industries. O/W emulsion produced in crude oil recovery causes problems at different stages in petroleum industry. Produced water can not be injected again into the well, because it contains high concentrations of oil, grease and suspended particles. Recently, membrane technology has been applied in separation of O/W emulsion. One membrane that has been developed special for oil filtration is slotted true surface filter. This research investigated influences of pore size and initial concentration of feed emulsion during oil filtration using slotted pore membrane. From the experiment, oil rejection will be higher if we use membrane with smaller pore size, emulsion with high stability and small trans membrane pressure. Based on the slot width it can be concluded that 33 microns membrane gives better oil rejection than 80 microns membrane. Initial concentrations of challenge emulsion also influence value of flux and oil rejection, which will also influence our decision to choose suitable membrane in relation with hydrophilicity of the membrane. During microfiltration process, there was deformation of oil particle through slot of membrane, which can be analyzed by observing size of oil drops in feed and permeate sides. Keywords: emulsion, microfiltration, slotted pore membraneAbstrakSaat ini penanganan limbah emulsi minyak dalam air menjadi topik penting di berbagai industri. Salah satunya adalah industri perminyakan. Emulsi yang dihasilkan dalam proses penambangan minyak mentah menimbulkan masalah pada beberapa tahapan proses di industri. Air yang mengandung minyak tidak dapat digunakan kembali untuk meningkatkan perolehan minyak karena mengandung minyak, lemak dan partikel tersuspensi dalam konsentrasi tinggi. Sehingga dibutuhkan proses pemisahan emulsi minyak dalam air. Akhir–akhir ini teknologi membran telah digunakan untuk memisahkan emulsi tersebut. Salah satu membrane yang dikembangkan adalah membrane berslot seperti yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini telah berupaya mengamati pengaruh variasi ukuran pori dan konsentrasi umpan terhadap performa membrane berslot dalam memisahkan emulsi minyak dalam air. Dari percobaan, diperoleh hasil bahwa rejeksi membran terhadap minyak meningkat jika digunakan membrane dengan ukuran ori lebih kecil, emulsi dengan kestabilan yang tinggi, dan beda tekanan yang kecil. Disimpulkan bahwa membrane dengan ukuran pori 33 mikrometer memberikan rejeksi membrane lebih tinggi dibandingkan membrane dengan ukuran pori 80 mikrometer. Konsentrasi awal umpan mempengaruhi fluks dan rejeksi serta mempengaruhi pilihan kita dalam memilih jenis membran yang digunakan. Selama proses filtrasi, terjadi perubahan bentuk atau deformasi partikel minyak melewati slot atau pori membrane yang diamati melalui distribusi ukuran partikel.Kata kunci: emulsi, mikrofiltrasi, membran berslot
