| Abstract: | This study was undertaken to check the possibility of using micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) in the removal of chromium(III) ions from water systems. The influence of ion concentration in the feed, type of surfactant (SDS or Rofam 10), and the membrane material on separation efficiency were studied and discussed. The use of environmentally safer surfactants from renewable sources was proposed, that is, oxyethylated rape fatty acid methyl esters – trade name: Rofam 10. The results presented show the possibility of using MEUF as an effective method for removing chromium(III) ions from aqueous solutions, especially from solutions of low concentration. |
