A membrane based treatment strategy was developed for the possible recycling of rinsing wastewater from indigo dyeing to the process itself. Performances of three different nanofiltration (NF) (NF 270 and NF 90, Dow Film Tech, USA and NF 99, Alfa Laval, Denmark) and two different reverse osmosis (RO) (HR 98 PP and CA 995 PE, Alfa Laval, Denmark) membranes were investigated with wastewater collected from the first post-rinsing tank of indigo dyeing process of a denim manufacturing plant. Dead-end microfiltration with a 5 mu m filter was employed to remove coarse particles and minimize fouling of further NF and RO membranes. For NF and RO, a lab scale plate-and-frame membrane module was operated at a pressure of 5.07bar and at a 0.62m/s cross-flow velocity. The permeate quality from all the tested NF and RO membranes was acceptable for reuse in terms of COD and color. However, only the permeate from HR 98 PP RO and NF 90 membranes were with an acceptable conductivity. On the other hand, NF 270 membrane was superior to all the other NF and RO membranes in terms of the permeation rate. Flux declines obtained for all membranes were higher than 50% but fouling was not considerable and completely reversible. The good performance of NF 270 in terms of permeate quality (permeate conductivity, color, and COD values were 4.3mS/cm, 8 Pt-Co, and 87mg/L, respectively) together with a higher flux makes this membrane preferable over the other membranes to recycle denim textile rinsing wastewaters.

Adsorption of volatile organic compounds on soil and prediction of desorption breakthroughs Yeo, SD; Tuncer, E; Akgerman, A (Informa UK Limited, 1997-01-01) Vapor extraction of volatile organic compounds from soil was investigated by performing adsorption and desorption experiments of trichloroethylene, trichloroethane, and chlorobenzene on soil particles. The adsorption breakthrough curves were obtained using a dynamic response technique based on frontal analysis chromatography. The shape of the breakthrough curves indicated that the adsorption process was close to an ideal adsorption system of no mass transfer resistance, no axial dispersion, and infinitesima...
Treatment by nanofiltration of the bleed stream of a continuous alcohol fermentor Aydogan, N; Gurkan, T; Yılmaz, Levent (Informa UK Limited, 2004-01-01) In continuous ethanol fermentation processes, which include product removal and recovery steps, to limit the concentration of secondary products, a bleed stream may be used. This stream contains several small molecular weight organic fermentation products and substrate sugars. To recover sugars and to minimize the amount of waste, the bleed stream is treated by nanofiltration. Three types of membranes were used in these experiments: 500 and 200 mwco (molecular weight cut off) polyamide and a thin-film compo...
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...
Silver nanoparticles-tragacanth gel as a green membrane for effective extraction and determination of capecitabine Hajizadeh, Salahaddin; Farhadi, Khalil; Molaei, Rahim; Forough, Mehrdad (Wiley, 2020-07-01) A novel eco-friendly and effective electromembrane extraction method combining high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection was developed for the enrichment and determination of capecitabine. Tragacanth-silver nanoparticles conjugated gel was prepared by dissolving the tragacanth powder in synthesized silver nanoparticles solution and was used as a green membrane in electromembrane extraction. The porosity and presence of silver nanoparticles in the gel were characterized by field emission scann...
Phase transition of chemically synthesized FePt nanoparticles under high pressure ŞİMŞEK, TELEM; Karci, Ozgur; ÖZCAN, ŞADAN (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2018-01-01) We present the results of a study related to phase transformation of chemically synthesized FePt nanoparticles under high pressure from face-centered cubic into face-centered tetragonal structure. As-synthesized nanoparticles are around 4.5 nm and show superparamagnetic behavior at 300 K. After annealing under 60 bar pressure of hydrogen at 400 degrees C for 2 h, nanoparticles exhibit strong ferromagnetic behavior with 5391 Oe coercivity. Results show that high-pressure annealing lowers the decomposition te...
