Photocatalytic Membrane Reactor

To treat the waste seawater from shrimp farms, TiO2 powder photocatalysis and ceramic membrane filtration technologies were integrated to form a photocatalytic membrane reactor (PMR). PMR performance was investigated and real waste water sample was treated under the optimum operation conditions. Results indicated that TiO2 powder with mean particle size of 0.27 μm could be separated successfully with α-Al2O3 membrane with pore size of 0.05 μm, the permeation flux was 432 Lhr-1m-2 under pressure of 0.05 MPa. Wastewater was treated with three different catalysts involving 2 g of TiO2 powder, 2 g of TiO2 powder combined with 5 ml of H2O2 (30%), and 2 g of TiO2 powder combined with 5 ml of Fenton agent for per liter of wastewater, the corresponding CODCr removal rates were 15.67 %, 25.19 % and 40.67 % separately.

Operation Conditions

Waste water treatment in helophyte beds under humid climate conditions has been favoured by some German ecologists for some years. The idea is to cause waste water to flow horizontally through the root zone of helophytes to achieve satisfactory effluent properties. There exist many highly different proposals regarding the choice of soil and helophytes to be applied, bed area, design of inlets and outlets and operation conditions. A few plants have been operated in practice for some years. It appears that clogging is one of the main problems occurring in these plants. The hydraulic uptake capacity of soil is discussed in Darcy's law. Comparisons with observations of plants in operation are drawn. The interactions between soil properties, its uptake capacity, BOD5-, COD-, N- and P-reduction are evaluated. The effluent results of helophyte beds are compared with those of low-loaded trickling filters and of ponds used for sewage treatment in small villages in rural areas of Germany. It has been proved that the total construction costs of sewage treatment plants with helophyte beds used as the biological stage are higher when compared with those of conventional plants in general.

Membrane Treatment

The membrane separation process is being widely used in water treatment. It is very important to control membrane fouling in the process of water treatment. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of a pre-oxidation-coagulation flat ceramic membrane filtration process using different oxidant types and dosages in water treatment and membrane fouling control. The results showed that under suitable concentration conditions, the effect on membrane fouling control of a NaClO pre-oxidation combined with a coagulation/ceramic membrane system was better than that of an O3 system. The oxidation process changed the structure of pollutants, reduced the pollution load and enhanced the coagulation process in a pre-oxidation-coagulation system as well. The influence of the oxidant on the filtration system was related to its oxidizability and other characteristics. NaClO and O3 performed more efficiently than KMnO4. NaClO was more conducive to the removal of DOC, and O3 was more conducive to the removal of UV254.

The performance of Ni/SiO2 Catalysts modified by La2O3, ZrO2 and CeO2 were tested in a BaCo0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3-δ (BCFNO) membrane reactor by catalytic partial oxidation of coke oven gas (COG) under atmospheric pressure. The results show that the oxygen permeation flux increased dramatically with Ni/RxOy/SiO2 (R = La, Zr or Ce) catalysts by adding the element of rare earth especially the La during the reforming reaction. At optimized reaction conditions, the dense oxygen permeable membrane had an oxygen permeation flux around 16.4 ml/cm2•min and a CH4 conversion of 99.2% have been achieved at 900 oC.

The purpose of this work is to study the effect of kaolin particle size for the preparation of low cost ceramic membrane suspension and ceramic membrane structure. Kaolin particle size is categorized into two categories; i) ≤ 1µm and ii) ≥ 1 µm. The suspension is prepared via stirring technique under 1000 rpm at 60°C. The particle size of kaolin is characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and the prepared suspension is characterized in term of its viscosity. Results indicate that the particle size gave significant effect to the viscosity of ceramic membrane suspension. Preliminary data showed that kaolin with particle size ≤ 1µm resulted ceramic membrane with dense structure.
