Fresh water scarcity have been the most fundamental problem in the world and is already affecting mankind and human activities. This problem forced an increasing effort in the reuse of wastewater originating from municipal, agricultural, and industrial activities. The textile industry demands large amounts of water and produces large quantities of wastewater. Adsorption, filtration, ozonation and photocatalysis techniques are currently used for wastewater treatment and safe discharge to the environment. Although membrane filtration necessitates a high initial setup cost, it has a high potential and may cause significant cost savings through the reuse of water and salts. The membrane based technologies are widely accepted to be the best method when compared with the currently available technologies for wastewater treatment. Extruded tubular alumina supports were coated by stable colloidal sols and polymeric sols prepared by using sol-gel based techniques for the formation of selective micro/ultra/nanofiltration layers in this work. Textile wastewater treatment (with and without pre-treatment) and membrane fouling analysis was conducted. The performances of the membranes were determined through the characterization of permeates by a spectrophotometer. The reduction of colors (Pt-Co, m-1), turbidity and suspended solids content were about 99%, 100% and 100%, respectively. The incorporation of a coagulation stage by using Al2(SO4)3 followed by a successive filtration reduced the membrane/irreversible fouling levels in the MF/UF membranes significantly. The Pt-Co 455 values of permeates were determined to be in the 15-260 range which are below the discharge criteria bringing the possibility of the reuse of some of these permeates.
