Removal of Aniline from Wastewater Using Hollow Fiber Renewal Liquid Membrane

doi:10.1016/j.cjche.2014.09.035

Abstract

Abstract: Hollow fiber renewal liquidmembrane (HFRLM)methodwas proposed based on the surface renewal theory for removal of aniline from waste water. The system of aniline + D2EHPA in kerosene + HCl was used. Aqueous layer diffusion in the feed phase is the rate-control step, and the influence of lumen side flow rate on the mass transfer is more significant than that on the shell side. The resistance of overall mass transfer is greatly reduced because of the mass transfer intensification in the renewal of liquid membrane on the lumen side. The driving force of mass transfer can be considered as a function of distribution equilibrium, and the overall mass transfer coefficient increases with the increase of pH in the feed solution, HCl concentration and D2EHPA concentration, and decreases with the increase of initial aniline concentration. A mass transfermodel is developed forHFRLMbased on the surface renewal theory. The calculated results agree well with experimental results. The HFRLM process is a promising method for aniline wastewater treatment.
