This study aimed to investigate the influence of the ZnO concentration on the structure of a membrane for effluent filtration, varying this concentration from 0% to 3%. To analyze the results, X-ray diffraction tests, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, apparent porosity, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used, all of which were employed for the characterization of the produced membranes. The solution simulating the effluent was analyzed before and after the filtration process to assess the filtration results. The conducted tests reported results for filtered solution flow, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity. All these results indicated that the membrane with the best performance in terms of cleanliness and the amount of filtered effluent was the one produced with a 13% hybrid polysulfone loaded with 1% ZnO in its structure.
本研究旨在探究氧化锌(ZnO)浓度对用于废水过滤的膜结构的影响,将该浓度从0%变化至3%。为分析结果,采用了X射线衍射测试、傅里叶变换红外光谱、表观孔隙率、原子力显微镜和扫描电子显微镜,所有这些都用于所制备膜的表征。在过滤过程前后对模拟废水的溶液进行分析,以评估过滤结果。所进行的测试报告了过滤后溶液的流量、浊度、pH值、溶解氧和电导率的结果。所有这些结果表明,就清洁度和过滤废水量而言性能最佳的膜是结构中负载1% ZnO的13%混合聚砜所制备的膜。
