Modeling and experimental validation of direct contact membrane distillation applied to synthetic dye solutions

摘要

BACKGROUND In order to protect water resources and reduce the harmful effects of releasing contaminated wastewater to the environment, the textile industry has increasingly demanded improved water reclamation technologies, such as membrane distillation. In this work, theoretical and experimental investigations were carried out to evaluate the behavior of the operational parameters of a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) setting with a commercial membrane applied to synthetic dye solutions, simulating textile wastewater from the fabric dyeing stage.
