Nanofiltration

Copper rejections of a nanofiltration (NF) and a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane are investigated with coppersulfate and copper-nitrate solutions as test wastewaters. The copper content of the solutions represents the typical copper ion concentration of process waters from a textile coating plant, i.e

Retention properties of a nanofiltration ceramic membrane were investigated with single polyethyleneglycol (PEG) solutions and mixed PEG/inorganic salt solutions. The rejection rate of PEGs was found to decrease in the presence of ions. It was shown that the effect of ions on the retention of neutra
