Article Synopsis
- Membrane techniques for wastewater treatment generally yield higher quality results compared to other methods, with pervaporation offering benefits like selectivity and low clogging potential.
- The study focused on developing and testing membranes made from polysulfone and polyurethane, which were characterized after using thermal and ultraviolet treatments on simulated wastewater containing reactive black dye and sodium chloride.
- Results showed that all membranes achieved 100% selectivity for the dye and about 98.5% for the saline solution, with one untreated membrane outperforming others in permeate flow, indicating potential for effective wastewater recovery.
