Integration of Ultra- and Nanofiltration for Potato Processing Water (PPW) Treatment in a Circular Water Recovery System.

The article analyzes integrated ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) processes for potato processing wastewater treatment for the purpose of which a laboratory filtration system for flat sheet membranes with the effective surface area of 1.4 × 10 m (UF: polysulfone, cut-off: 10,000 Da; NF: polypiperazine amide, cut-off: 150-300 Da) was used. As part of the study, the effect of the transmembrane pressure of UF (0.

Possibilities of chromium (III) separation from acid solution using the double-carrier supported liquid membrane (DCSLM).

This paper describes the problem of recovery and reusing chromium from aqueous solutions. The authors studied a novel double-carrier supported liquid membrane system (DCSLM) with di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and bis(2,4,4-trimethyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex272) as a carrier of Cr(III) ions as a method to separate chromium (III) from acid solutions. As a result, they confirmed that the presence of two carriers in the DCSLM with the most effective carrier concentration ratios, leads to approximately three times shorter pertraction, compared to a process conducted with the D2EHPA only.
