of carpet manufacturing industry. ADBW, having acidic pH (5.0-5.9) originally, was subjected to pre-filtration through 1.0 mu m microfiltration (MF) media prior to nanofiltration (NF). Three treatment alternatives were adopted: (1) single NF without pH neutralization; (2) sequential NF without pH neutralization; (3) single NF with pH neutralization. Color was removed completely and turbidity was rejected by 79-92% in all alternatives. However, COD, total solids, total hardness and conductivity were partially removed in single NF without pH neutralization. The inadequate rejection of pollutants lead to the implementation of sequential NF consisting of three stages, where COD rejection increased from 55%-77% to 94% at the end of the third stage. Finally, the wastewater pH was neutralized by adjusting to 7.0, which provided COD rejection efficiency as high as 97% in single NE The flux decline in single NF at acidic pH was 14-23%. In sequential NF, the flux decline decreased from 21% to 9% in three stages. The flux declines increased up to 25% due to pH neutralization, however chemical cleaning was found to be effective in restoring the fluxes. Besides, the main cause of flux decline, which was fouling at acidic pH became concentration polarization at neutral pH. Therefore, the best treatment scheme for the recovery of ADBW came out to be single NF with pH neutralization preceded by 1.0 mu m MR These results revealed that pH is an important operational parameter affecting the selection of the best treatment scheme for ADBW.

Reclamation of printing effluents of a carpet manufacturing industry by membrane processes Capar, G; Yetiş, Ülkü; Yılmaz, Levent (Elsevier BV, 2006-06-01) The effluent from the print dying process of a carpet manufacturing industry was subjected to nanotiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) processes aiming at water reuse. Three alternatives were adopted; (i) NF, (ii) loose UF (MWCO 20,000 Da) followed by NF and (iii) tight UF (MWCO 1000 Da) followed by NE The separation performances and flux decline levels were compared for the detemination of the best process. Printing effluent was chemically precipitated using alum and fed to a lab-scale plate-and-frame ...
Treatment of silk production wastewaters by membrane processes for sericin recovery Capar, Goksen; Aygun, S. Seylan; Gecit, M. Rusen (Elsevier BV, 2008-12-01) Sericin protein, although a valuable resource for many industries including cosmetics, pharmaceutical and biomedical, has been discarded as a waste in silk industry, causing environmental pollution. This paper describes determination of a membrane-based process for sericin recovery from cocoon cooking wastewaters (CCW) that will enable value-added utilization of waste sericin. The iso-electric point (pI) of sericin was found as 5-6, whose MW was distributed as 180-200, 70-80, 30-40 and 10-25 kDa. Prior to m...
Thinking the future of membranes: Perspectives for advanced and new membrane materials and manufacturing processes Nunes, Suzana P.; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Ramon, Guy Z.; Visser, Tymen; Koops, Geert Henk; Jin, Wanqin; Ulbricht, Mathias (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-15) The state-of-the-art of membrane technology is characterized by a number of mature applications such as sterile filtration, hemodialysis, water purification and gas separation, as well as many more niche applications of successful membrane-based separation and processing of fluid mixtures. The membrane industry is currently employing a portfolio of established materials, mostly standard polymers or inorganic materials (not originally developed for membranes), and easily scalable manufacturing processes such...
Polycarbonate-polypyrrole mixed matrix gas separation membranes Hacarlioglu, P; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yılmaz, Levent (Elsevier BV, 2003-11-01) The gas separation properties of the polycarbonate-polypyrrole mixed matrix membranes were evaluated based on the introduction of conducting polymer as powder fillers. The electrically conductive fillers are obtained from two main synthesis routes namely electrochemical and chemical methods. The permeation properties of polycarbonate-polypyrrole systems are highly dependent on the synthesis method (electrochemical or chemical) and also the membrane casting conditions (casting solvent type). The introduction...
Operation assignment and capacity allocation problem in automated manufacturing systems Bilgin, Selin; Azizoğlu, Meral (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01) We address an operation assignment and capacity allocation problem that arises in semiconductor industries and flexible manufacturing systems. We assume the automated machines have scarce time and tool magazine capacities and the tools are available in limited quantities. The aim is to select a subset of operations with maximum total weight. We show that the problem is NP-hard in the strong sense, develop two heuristics and a Tabu Search procedure. The results of our computational tests have revealed that o...
