Membrane separation technology was used to remove free glycerol from biodiesel in order to meet the ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 standards. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) produced from canola oil and methanol were purified using ultra-filtration. The effect of different materials present in the transesterification reaction, such as water, soap, and methanol, on the final free glycerol separation was studied. A modified polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane, with 100 kD molecular weight cut-off was used in all runs. Tests were performed at 25 °C and 552 kPa operating pressure. The free glycerol content in the feed, retentate and permeate of the membrane system was analyzed using gas chromatography according to ASTM D6584. Results showed low concentrations of water had a considerable effect in removing glycerol from the FAME even at approx. 0.08 mass%. This is four orders of magnitude less than the amount of water required in a conventional biodiesel purification process using water washing. It is suggested that the mechanism of separation of free glycerol from FAME was due to the removal of an ultrafine dispersed glycerol-rich phase present in the untreated FAME. This was confirmed by the presence of particulates in the untreated FAME. The size of the particles and the free glycerol separation both increased with increasing water content of the FAME. The trends of separation and particle size vs. water content in the FAME phase were very similar and exhibited a sudden increase at 0.08 mass% water in the untreated FAME. This supports the conclusion that water increased the size of the distributed glycerol phase in the untreated FAME leading to its separation by the ultra-filtration membrane. The technology for the removal of free glycerol from biodiesel was found to use 2.0 g of water per L of treated FAME (0.225 mass% water) vs. the current 10 L of water per L of treated FAME. 相似文献

The city of Logan, Utah treats wastewater in 460 acres of facultative lagoons. Naturally growing algae in these lagoons uptake nutrients and remediate the wastewater, but require coagulation and flocculation for separation from wastewater. Cationic corn starch and cationic potato starch with a degree of substitution 1.34 and 0.82, respectively, were synthesized using 3‐methacryloyl amino propyl trimethyl ammonium chloride and tested on Scenedesmus obliquus and lagoon wastewater. The zeta potential of the cationic starches tested over a pH range 5.0–10.0 showed an average of +16.0 and +15.1 mV for cationic corn starch and cationic potato starch, respectively. Total suspended solids removals of 90 and 85% were achieved with cationic corn starch and cationic potato starch, respectively, when tested with S. obliquus. Tests with wastewater showed total suspended solids removals of 80 and 60% for cationic corn starch and cationic potato starch, respectively. Total phosphorus removal values from wastewater were approximately 33, 29, and 42% for cationic corn starch, cationic potato starch, and alum, respectively, for a coagulant/algae ratio of 1.4 (wt/wt). These results indicate that cationic starch has the potential to replace alum for algae harvesting and wastewater treatment making it a suitable alternative to inorganic coagulants and flocculants. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Decolourization and COD removal from synthetic wastewater containing Reactive Brilliant Orange K‐R (RBOKR) dye using sonophotocatalytic technology was investigated. Experimental results showed that this hybrid technology could efficiently remove the colour and reduce COD from the synthetic dye‐containing wastewater, and that both processes followed pseudo first‐order kinetics. At the condition of 0.1 m3 h?1 airflow, 0.75 g dm?3 titanium dioxide and 0.5 mmol dm?3 RBOKR solution, the rate constants of decolourization and COD removal were 0.0750 and 0.0143 min?1 respectively for the sonophotocatalytic process; 0.0197 and 0.0046 min?1 respectively for the photocatalytic process and 0.0005 and 0.0001 min?1 respectively for the sonochemical process. The rate constants of sonophotocatalysis were greater than that of both the photocatalytic and sonochemical processes either in isolation or as a sum of the individual process, indicating an apparent synergetic effect between the photo‐ and sono‐processes.

The independent and combined effects of four variables (current density, electrolyte concentration, air flow rate and pH) on COD removal from wastewater by electrochemical oxidation were optimized using 24 full factorial experimental design. ANOVA was conducted to test the combined effects of the independent variables (the four control factors and time) on COD removal. To determine the reaction order of COD removal, 1st, 2nd or 3rd reaction orders were considered; 1st order kinetics showed the highest average r2 value. The backward elimination regression method was used to determine the 1st order k COD equation, and main effects and 2-way interaction effects on the 1st order equation were investigated. Using this equation, k COD values for the 16 experimental conditions were predicted and COD values were calculated with respect to time. Finally, we tried to determine optimal operating conditions using color and COD removal as endpoints using the multiple response surface method. 相似文献

The intent of this study was to evaluate the ability of low-cost polyacrylamide/starch hybrid hydrogels in removing organic pollutants from wastewater, using phenol as a model compound, besides of investigating the adsorption/desorption behavior as a function of hydrogels composition. The results indicated that the hydrogel with the lowest amount of starch and crosslinking agent exhibited the maximum phenol adsorption capacity, 21 mg g−1. The adsorption isotherm data were described by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. According to linear regression analysis, the Freundlich isotherm model was the best fit among the isotherm models for the adsorption process. Furthermore, desorption study revealed a minimum of about 60% of phenol release, indicating reusability to wastewater treatment. 相似文献

The complex structured starch particles were reduced to the nanoscale size range through hydrolysis utilizing low concentration acid assisted by ultrasound irradiation. The synthesized starch nanoparticles (SNPs) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The synthesized SNPs possessed surface activated entities, as many cationic functional groups were confirmed through the FTIR spectrum. Also, these SNPs were effectively utilized to separate heavy Cu metal ions from the synthetic ion solution. The SNPs were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis for the surface modification after the adsorption process. The weak electrostatic interaction between the SNP surface and Cu ion was confirmed by the XPS spectrum and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The maximum efficiency of Cu ions removal was about 93% at an optimal pH 5 and 25 mg/ml dosage. The adsorption equilibrium was obtained in 60 min. The nitrogen isotherm BET analysis of SNPs after adsorption shows a higher specific surface area of 18.552 m2/g, attributed to the interaction and presence of Cu ions on the SNP surface. The process feasibility was validated by the Langmuir isotherm model. The process exhibits pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics and follows the Langmuir isotherm. The RL predicted by the Langmuir isotherm mechanism is 0.017, implying favourable adsorption. The process is reproducible and allows for the separation of heavy metal ions from the wastewater through biosorption effectively. 相似文献

Artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to predict separation percent (SP) of lead ions from wastewater using electrodialysis (ED). The aim was to predict SP of Pb2+ as a function of concentration, temperature, flow rate and voltage. Optimum numbers of hidden layers and nodes in each layer were determined. The selected structure (4:6:2:1) was used for prediction of SP of lead ions as well as current efficiency (CE) of ED cell for different inputs in the domain of training data. The modeling results showed that there is an excellent agreement between the experimental data and the predicted values. 相似文献

ABSTRACT This is an investigation of the adsorptive removal of anthraquinone dyes, resembled by Alizarin, by utilizing maghemite iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles in aqueous media. The adsorption process was affected by several parameters such as solution pH, adsorbent amount, contact time, and temperature. After optimizing the parameters affecting the adsorption, the process was successful in removing Alizarin dye with an efficiency exceeding 95%. Best adsorption results were achieved at a pH of 11 and contact time of 60 min. The adsorption was shown to follow the Langmuir model suggesting a monolayer and homogeneous coverage. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm ) was found to be 23.2 mg/g at pH = 11. A thermodynamic study showed that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneous at room temperature. The Gibbs free energy of adsorption (-6.79 kJ/mol) obtained in this study suggests a physisorption process. This finding has facilitated the regeneration of the Fe2O3 nanocatalyst. Both NaOH and HNO3 at dilute levels were tested for the regeneration of the nanocatalyst. Regeneration with HNO3 was successful up to four successive removal cycles with an efficiency >80%. Photodegradation experiments utilizing a UV light were also successful in maximizing the adsorption removal efficiency. A sorption mechanism based on the results obtained in this work is also proposed. 相似文献

In this paper, the dye removal ability of the acrylic grafted polysulfone nanomembrane using ultraviolet radiation was studied to remove dyes from colored textile wastewater. Acrylic acid was used to modify polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane. The effect of different operating parameters such as pressure, salt concentration and chemical structure of dyes was evaluated. Data indicated that the photografted membrane has acceptable performance both in terms of flux and rejection. The dye rejection and hydraulic permeability were 86–99.9% and 7.6 L m− 2 h− 1 bar− 1, respectively. It was found that the rejection of dyes decreased with salt concentration due to a decrease of the Donnan effect. Also, the low molecular weight dyes and highly charged dyes were more sensitive in the presence of salts. Addition of 80 mM Na2SO4 in dye solution decreased the dye rejection more than 15%. The rejection enhancement for all cases was negligible by increasing driving pressure from 1 to 4 bar. Dyes with low charger were more sensitive to operating pressure than that of dyes with higher charges. All findings supported that acrylic grafted nanomembrane is potentially capable to separate dyes from colored textile effluent. 相似文献

Considering the increase in water contamination by heavy metal discharge, water quality experts are focusing on innovative future technologies for wastewater treatment. There are a number of physical, chemical and biological processes for acquiring high‐quality effluents; however, these treatment technologies have shown some limitations regarding their specific pollutant removal efficiencies, vulnerability to environmental pollutants, higher cost and energy requirements, excessive sludge volume and toxicity issues. Therefore, this review/concept paper focuses on the application of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) in the removal of heavy metal from wastewater and also proposes a model application of MTB‐based treatment process. The unique property of the MTB is to move along the periphery of the applied external magnetic fields due to nano sized magnetosomes (MS). MS are basically the biomineral crystals of either magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4) with a size range of 30–120 nm. Moreover, challenging aspects concerning MTB employment in the removal of heavy metal from wastewater also are discussed in detail for the consideration of experts who are involved in the development of new treatment technologies or for retrofications of existing processes. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献
