A review on the use of membrane technology and fouling control for olive mill wastewater treatment.

摘要: Olive mill effluents (OME) by-produced have significantly increased in the last decades as a result of boost olive oil agro-industrial sector and due to conversion into continuous operation centrifugation technologies. In these effluents, presence phytotoxic recalcitrant pollutants makes them resistant biological degradation thus inhibits efficiency conventional processes. Many reclamation treatments well integrated processes for OME already been proposed developed but not led completely satisfactory cost-effective results. industries its current status, typically small mills dispersed, cannot afford such high treatment costs. Furthermore, are able abate significant dissolved monovalent divalent ions concentration present OME. Within this framework, membrane technology offers moderate investment maintenance expenses. Wastewater by technologies is growing recent years. This trend owed fact availability new materials, designs, module concepts general know-how, which promoted credibility among investors. However, fouling reduces performances time leads premature substitution modules, problem cost since wastewater must imply low operating Appropriate inhibition methods should assure result, making stream both technically economically feasible. paper, mills, generally called wastewaters, will be addressed. context, state art different pretreatments integral up today gathered discussed, with an insight fouling.
