Abstract:
:The reuse of treated dyeing wastewater has become a viable option to minimizing water scarcity problems and environmental impacts in the textile industry. The potentiality of commercial flat sheet membranes of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polypropylene (PP) in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) for dye synthetic solution treatment has been explored in this work. DCMD is interesting for the textile industry since a recovery of heat by hot dyeing wastewater for thermal energy is possible. Moreover, DCMD enables water and dye reclamation with possible reuse in the textile process. The commercial availability of membranes may expedite the DCMD commercialization in the textile industry. Experiments were conducted in a laboratory-scale circulating unit with synthetic solutions containing reactive or disperse dye. High mean permeate flux up to 18.8 kg m-2 h-1 with complete colour rejection was obtained. The dyes tested in this study are not able to completely wet the membranes and the increase of the permeate flux when compared to distilled water is attributed to electrostatic interactions between the dyes and the membranes. Moreover, a partial wetting reduced vapour diffusion path and the permeate flux was increased. PP membrane showed higher performance due to higher porosity when compared to the PTFE membrane. In addition, an influence of dye class on permeability was observed. The results were promising when compared to other studies, which used commercial or lab-scale membranes.
