Influence of Transmembrane Pressure on Microfiltration of Suspensions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of transmembrane pressure on the permeate flux, and the critical and limiting fluxes in microfiltration of two sorbents Bentonite a natural sorbent, montmorillonite based clay and Lewatit S1468 a synthetic sorbent, styrene-divinylbenzene based copolymer were studied. An asymmetric single-channel inorganic ceramic membrane based on α-Al2O3 was used. The experimental data were obtained by continuous microfiltration equipment. According to the results the limiting flux ranged from 37 to 70 l.m-2.h-1 for Bentonite suspensions. It was not possible to estimate the limiting flux for Lewatit S1468 suspension.
