The Application of Nanofiltration Technology in Recovery of Ionic Liquids from Spinning Wastewater

Abstract

In this paper, the effects of the concentration, temperature, and run-time of ionic liquids solution, on the rejection capacity of home-made hollow fiber composite nanofiltration membrane were studied. Then the nanofiltration membrane was used to the recover ionic liquids by concentrating spinning wastewater. The results shows that: The rejection rate of the composite nanofiltration membranes and its water fluxes lightly down with the concentration of ionic liquids increase; with running-time and temperature of ionic liquid solution increase, the rejection rate of the composite nanofiltration membranes decreases, but its water flux increases; the nanofiltration membrane can be use for recovering ionic liquid from the spinning wastewater and get very good recovery effects.
