Abstract:
Excessive ammonia in aquaculture wastewater may cause many environmental
problems to the receiving water. Such adverse effects of ammonium have promoted
developing various techniques for its removal. Membrane separation processes are
largely developed as an alternative to conventional wastewater treatment. In order to
fabricate a high performance of nanofiltration membrane, the effect of shear rate on
the membrane performance for aquaculture wastewater treatment has been studied.
Membrane casting solution was prepared in binary system which consists of
Polyethersulfone (PES) as polymer and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent
with formulation 16/84 (PES/NMP).
