چکیده
Background and Aims: 1,2-dichloroetane [ethylene dichloride (EDC)] is a chlorinated hydrocarbon which is widely used to produce vinyl chloride. The later is the major precursor to PVC production. Wastewater originating from EDC production is characterized by high turbidity and contains ethylene dichloride and FeCl3 particles. The aim of the present study was to investigate the treatability of EDC effluent using membrane filtration.Materials and Methods: Laboratory scale experiments were carried out on Abadan petrochemical complex wastewater (EDC unit) with various membrane filtration processes that combine microfiltration with nanofiltration. Microfiltration membrane was used as a pretreatment to remove turbidity as well as FeCl3 fine particles, which may subsequently damage nanofiltration system. The microfiltration effluent was thereafter fed to a nanofiltration membrane cell. The filtration performance was assessed through turbidity, TDS, COD and 1,2-dichloroetane removals. pH, temperature and system pressure were also controlled during the study.
Results: Successful removal of turbidity (97.5%) and FeCl3 particles (98%) was achieved by microfiltration. EDC concentration in raw effluent was ranged between 2,000 to 3,000 ppm. The nanofiltration membrane cell followed by microfiltration achieved a very high 1,2-dichloroetane removal (96.7) from water. The experimental results indeed showed that the permeate was consisted mainly of water, which asserts that 1,2-dichloroetane was separated in waste phase.
Conclusion: The results obtained provide further support for previous researches into this brain area and support the application of membrane technology to remove and recovery of soluble organic compounds from petrochemical wastewater.
Key words: Petrochemical wastewater, 1,2-dichloroetane, Membrane filtration, Nanofiltration, Microfiltration
