Pervaporation-based hybrid processes for waste water treatment: Does it have a future?

Field, Robert W. and Lipnizki, Frank LU orcid (2001) Engineeing with membranes 1. p.213-217
Abstract
Pervaporation offers solutions for a wide range of applications ranging from the dehydration of organic compounds to the recovery of organic compounds from water and the separation of organic mixtures. While the combination of pervaporation and distillation in a hybrid process to break azeotropes is well established on an industrial scale, successful applications of hydrophobic pervaporation are rarely reported. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating hydrophobic pervaporation into waste-water treatment processes, this paper studies the combination of hydrophobic pervaporation with conventional processes such as adsorption and steam stripping. The examples are hybrid processes to recover chloroform and... (More)
Pervaporation offers solutions for a wide range of applications ranging from the dehydration of organic compounds to the recovery of organic compounds from water and the separation of organic mixtures. While the combination of pervaporation and distillation in a hybrid process to break azeotropes is well established on an industrial scale, successful applications of hydrophobic pervaporation are rarely reported. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating hydrophobic pervaporation into waste-water treatment processes, this paper studies the combination of hydrophobic pervaporation with conventional processes such as adsorption and steam stripping. The examples are hybrid processes to recover chloroform and methyl-iso-butyl-ketone from wastewater taking economical and ecological aspects into account. It is shown that the hybrid processes are superior to stand-alone units. This outcome is compared to recent market developments and a study by Ten and Field (2000) on the classification of the component transport in pervaporation with reference to permeate pressure. It is concluded that pervaporation will have a future in wastewater treatment, but its full potential has not yet been explored. (Less)
