Treatment of textile industry wastewater using dynamic membrane bioreactor: Impact of intermittent aeration on process performance

The application of pressure-driven ceramic membrane technology for the treatment of industrial wastewaters – A review

“…Many investigations have been conducted to study the application of different polymeric membranes either alone [95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104] or in combination with other techniques such as electrocoagulation [105] or biological treatment in the form of membrane bioreactor (MBR) [106][107][108][109][110][111] for the treatment of textile wastewaters, and for the recovery of dyes and salts [112][113][114][115][116]. However, in recent decades, ceramic membrane separation has attracted significant interest to treat textile effluents because of their reliable performance even in rough operational conditions [103,[117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126].…”

Performance evaluation of conventional membrane bioreactor and moving bed membrane bioreactor for synthetic textile wastewater treatment

“…In this industry, a huge amount of water is used during the operations of dyeing, sizing, finishing, several washing processes and rinsing cycles. The generated wastewater contains several chemicals such as acids, alkalis, hydrogen peroxide, dyes, surfactants, starch, soaps of metals and dispersing agents [ 2 ] and is characterized in high suspended solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), color, salts and heavy metals [ 3 ]. Therefore, it may be accepted as one of most polluting industries in terms of both the high volume and composition of its wastewater [ 4 ].…”

“…Therefore, it may be accepted as one of most polluting industries in terms of both the high volume and composition of its wastewater [ 4 ]. Due to the highly toxic and complex composition of textile wastewater, appropriate treatment is required before discharging it into a receiving environment [ 3 ].…”

“…Several treatment methods, such as physical (coagulation-flocculation [ 6 , 7 ], adsorption [ 8 , 9 ] and filtration techniques such as nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) [ 10 , 11 ]), advanced oxidation processes [ 12 ], biological treatments [ [13] , [14] , [15] ] and their combinations may be applied for textile wastewater in order to achieve discharge standards [ 1 ]. Biological treatment processes are an environmentally friendly and economical approach in comparison to physico-chemical treatments due to ensuring complete degradation of contaminants without producing concentrated secondary waste [ 3 ].…”

Effect of pore size of monofilament woven filter cloth as supporting material for dynamic membrane filtration on performance using aerobic membrane bioreactor technology

“…Generally, MBR is a combination of a biological treatment process and membrane liquid–solid separation 6 . Most of the studies by previous researchers show that MBRs have performed highly efficient on the removal efficiency of micro/macro pollutants and highly polluted influent (slowly biodegradable) 7–9 . Furthermore, coupling MBR with aerobic digestion can eliminate the usage of sedimentation and clarifier tank.…”
