Evaluation of Membranes’ Performance in Wastewater Treatment by WAVE Simulation

Abstract

- Dye is considered a carcinogenic matter. So, it is extremely important to treat the wastewater which contains the dye by detecting eco-friendly technologies to protect the environment from any negative impacts, the resources of natural water, and facing water shortage. The treatment of wastewater can be applied by using low-cost by-products from various sources such as domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors. They enable the elimination of pollutants from wastewater and support the reduction, recovery, and reuse of waste. This study represents current membrane technologies for dye removal using the WAVE simulation software, provided by Dupont to study the performance, process parameters, and operating conditions. The WAVE simulation software explained also the benefits and drawbacks of various treatment methods. This research aims to investigate the physical properties and efficiency of the synthesized composite membranes and determine their feasibility for use in membrane filtration.
