Design & application of hybrid MBR technology in contaminants removal

Abstract

This research evaluates the application of advanced hybrid Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology to remove contamination such as agricultural waste, biomedical waste, dairy waste, household waste and heavy metals from waste water. A Membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes are mainly used for wastewater treatment (WWT) by using microfiltration (MF) or ultrafiltration (UF) and integrating them with a biological process like a suspended growth bioreactor. In this research different membrane technologies and advanced processes of contamination removal in wastewater have been reviewed. Using chemicals and reagents nano composite materials and brilliant green solution have been prepared. After that 2mg of nano composite material was mixed with every prepared solution for dye removal. To calculate efficiency of the nano adsorbent, UV-visible spectrophotometer was used. From the observational data, 3 graphs have been obtained which summarizes the time vs concentration, time vs In (concentration) and time vs 1/c. Henceforth, this current study presents a one pot synthesis method for fabrication of Graphene Oxide (GO) based nanocomposite materials; also, batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the removal of cationic dyes e.g., brilliant green from the water using Graphene Oxide (GO) based nanocomposite materials. Further the order of the reaction was determined and it was found to be concurring with second order kinetics. Percentage removal 61.33% and maximum uptake removal 0.092 mg/mg is recorded for brilliant green dye in the batch adsorption experiment.
