Abstract

Abstract: In this work, the performance of composite membranes for the treatment of Chloramphenicol (CAP) pollutants was investigated from pharmaceutical industrial wastewater. The composite membrane was under operated with different concentrations of CAP with Titanium dioxide (TiO2) in 10mg/L, 20mg/L and 30 mg/L. The composite membranes were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde for the elimination of H2SO4. Characterizations of synthesized composite membranes were carried out to analyze functionality, morphology, and hydrophilic behaviours. In continuous operation, the different time intervals of TiO2 were removed in centrifuging. The performance of the composite membrane is the removal of pollutant CAP by UV analysis, and kinetics model at different concentrations. The degree of swelling and contact angle were measured in different concentrations of CAP at TiO2. Liquid Chromatography (LC) is used to CAP with Titanium dioxide mixtures. Mass Spectrometry (MS) can be used for structural identity with high specificity. The MS is also used to analyze CAP from pharmaceutical industrial wastewater. The membranes were subjected to filtration of pharmaceutical wastewater which gave a maximum rejection of 95% of Chloramphenicol.
