This study assesses the performance of waste sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA)-based ceramic membrane in anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treating low-strength wastewater. The AnMBR was operated in sequential batch reactor (SBR) mode at hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24 h, 18 h, and 10 h to understand the effect on organics removal and membrane performance. Feast-famine… Continue reading Performance of Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) with Sugarcane Bagasse Ash-based Ceramic Membrane treating Simulated Low-strength Municipal Wastewater: Effect of Operation Conditions
This work reviewed the importance of membrane filtration component in the total life cycle cost (LCC) of anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs). A limited number of studies have focused on detailed membrane system costs in estimating LCC of MBRs, but the significance of membrane choice is evident. Conventional polymeric and ceramic membranes are well established in… Continue reading Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) Equipped with Waste-Based Ceramic Membranes: Relation with Life Cycle Cost (LCC)
This research work reviewed the potential of raw materials such as various clays and industrial ash for the fabrication of affordable ceramic membranes. These materials were used for preparation of microporous supports for microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes. Compared to conventional ceramic membranes, these readily available natural or waste materials can be obtained at no cost… Continue reading Sustainable Production of Affordable Ceramic Membranes from Readily Available Raw Materials
