PURPOSE
Course ''Membrane technologies for water treatment'' aims to introduce students, future chemical engineers, with theoretical and practical knowledge on which tertiary water treatment methods are based, and which the key separation unit is the membrane.
The next and more important objective is to introduce them with the industrial application of membrane technology in water treatment, both worldwide and in our country, with their advantages and disadvantages and trends that aim to eliminate these drawbacks.
The aim of this course is also to recognize the environmental sustainability of membrane technology as advanced, economically viable and competitive technologies of water treatment.
THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE:
Week 1: Introductory. Composition and type of water, water reserves, causes and consequences of the lack of water and the possibility of solving
Week 2: Synthetic membranes, classification by nature, morphology and separation mechanisms, membrane characterization
Week 3: Classification of membrane operations by the driving force
Week 4: Types of membrane modules, advantages and disadvantages, application
Week 5: Membrane systems-design
Week 6: Mass transfer through the membrane, mass transport models
Week 7: The phenomenon of concentration polarization and membrane fouling, causes and consequences
Week 8: Pressure membrane operations: Ultrafiltration and microfiltration- principles and applications
Week 9: Nanofiltration-principle of operation, and application
Week 10: Reverse osmosis, the principle of operation, example: desalination sea and brackish water
Laboratory exercise: Determination of separation factor for different types of RO/NF membranes
Week11: Electric membrane processes: the principle of operation of membrane electrodialysis
Week 12: High-efficiency reverse osmosis processes (HERO processes)
Week13: Seminar presentations
Week 14: Seminar presentations
Week 15: Desalination plant site visit
