Characteristics of a vibration membrane in water recovery from a fine carbon loaded wastewater Original Research Article

Conventional coagulation and settlement method was used for the treatment of fine carbon loaded wastewater from TV picture tube plants. The method is generally costly and large amount of solid waste was created. The application of vibration membrane to deal with this kind of wastewater is proven to be cost effective. The recovered water can be reused and the concentrated fine carbon is likely to be recycled back to the production process. This work reports a parametric study on water recovery from the fine carbon loaded wastewater using the vibration membrane. Parameters considered are the type of membrane, vibration characteristics, loading particle size and concentration.
