Abstract

Industrial wastewater treatment and reuse is one of the principal tasks of present. For this purpose several physical, chemical and combined methods have been used. This paper deals with the study of sorption behaviour of natural zeolite with respect to Zn (II) and Cu (II) followed by cross-flow membrane microfiltration. The experiments realised were aimed at verification of effectiveness of ion exchange of selected metals from wastewater using zeolite – with main component clinoptilolite. The experimental data obtained were fitted using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The sorption capacity was studied for zinc and copper uptake, followed by a study of microfiltration of zeolite suspension using a cross-flow microfiltration device with tubular ceramic membrane. According to experimental results the basic parameters of microfiltration process were evaluated. In comparison with other processes, the hybrid membrane microfiltration offers more effective way of water treatment.
