Micellar Enhanced Ultrafiltration (MEUF) and Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF): An Integrated Approach for Heavy Metal Remediation from Wastewater
Publication: Green Technologies for Sustainable Water Management
Abstract
Water contamination by heavy metals in the ecosystem is a major environmental problem encountered in many industrial areas. This chapter describes the application of the Micellar enhanced ultrafiltration-activated carbon fiber (MEUF-ACF) hybrid process for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. It explains the concentration polarization (CP), micellization, critical micelle concentration (CMC), MEUF mechanism, and surfactant types, including recovery of trace permeate surfactants and metal ions. Membrane fouling in MEUF process can be minimized by using optimum initial permeate flux, retentate pressure, and initial feed concentration of pollutant and surfactant. Surfactant and heavy metal ions from the industrial and municipal wastewaters represent an important category of contaminants. Many techniques have been used and developed to remove the surfactants and metal ions from wastewaters. These include ion exchange, solvent extraction, reverse osmosis, precipitation, chemical oxidation and reduction, filtration, electrochemical treatment, floatation coagulation, biodegradation, and adsorption.
