| Abstract: | NaA zeolite microfiltration (MF) membranes were prepared on α-Al2O3 tube by in situ hydrothermal synthesis method and investigated for water separation and recovery from oily water. NaA/α-Al2O3 MF membranes with average inter-particle pore sizes of 1.2 μm, 0.4 μm and 0.2 μm were prepared. The membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the inter-particle pore size distribution (PSD) was determined by gas bubble pressure method. Membranes with pore sizes of 1.2 μm (NaA1) and 0.4 μm (NaA2) were used to treat an oil-in-water emulsion containing 100 mg/L oil. Better than 99% oil rejection was obtained and water containing less than 1 mg/L oil was produced at 85 L m−2 h−1 by NaA1 at a membrane pressure of 50 kPa. Consistent membrane performance was maintained by a regeneration regime consisting of frequent backwash with hot water and alkali solution. |
