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 membrane module under a trans-membrane pressure of 1.75 x 10(5) and 5.90 x 10(5) Pa (1.75 and 5.90 bar) for UF and NF processes, respectively. All the alternatives were tested in concentration mode of filtration where a volume reduction factor of up to 28.5 was achieved. The NF process provided very high separation performance for COD, color, turbidity, total solids and total hardness. The flux decline started at 16% and reached up to 31% at a volume reduction factor of 11.8. The loose and tight UF processes applied before NF to reduce this flux decline were not effective with a very severe flux decline of about 60% in both processes. The comparison resulted in a recommendation with single stage NF with adequate effluent characteristics.

Reclamation of acid dye bath wastewater: Effect of pH on nanofiltration performance Capar, Goksen; Yılmaz, Levent; Yetiş, Ülkü (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-15) 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 partiall...
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...
Treatment of a denim producing textile industry wastewater using pilot-scale membrane bioreactor YİĞİT, Nevzat Özgü; Uzal, N.; KÖSEOĞLU, Hasan; Harman, I.; Yukseler, H.; Yetiş, Ülkü; CİVELEKOĞLU, Gökhan; KİTİŞ, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-15) The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of a pilot-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) system for the treatment of a highly concentrated mixed wastewater from wet processes (dyeing, finishing, and sizing) of a denim producing textile industry. The MBR system, containing a Submerged hollow fiber membrane module in the aeration tank, was operated aerobically for about 3 months on-site at a continuous flow mode. The system was operated at two different operation stages: (1) 110 Sludge wastag...
Effect of color and surfactants on nanofiltration for the recovery of carpet printing wastewaters Capar, Goksen; Yetiş, Ülkü; Olceroglu, A. Hande; Yılmaz, Levent (Informa UK Limited, 2006-01-01) Carpet printing wastewater (CPW) was spiked with metal-complex dyes at concentrations of 10 and 30 mg/L to investigate the effect of feed color on separation performance of nanofiltration (NF). The rejection was excellent; 98-100% for color and COD under all spiking conditions. Although the flux decline increased with increasing dye concentration, the concentration polarization was the main cause of the flux decline. The effect of surfactants on NF separation performance was also investigated by preparing s...
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...
