Title: Process feasibility, operational parameters and modeling of reverse osmosis membrane systems for the separation and concentration of hazardous, complex industrial wastes

Thesis/Dissertation ·

Reverse osmosis (RO) was applied successfully to the renovation of complex and hazardous industrial wastewaters. Few others have had success in applying RO to the treatment of these high-strength wastewaters, including industrial landfill leachates. Because of the nature of these hazardous waste streams, difficulties are encountered if the RO treatment scheme is not designed or operated for the immediate purpose. The RO system consists of tubular cellulose acetate membranes that can operate in several process modes. The more functional process concentrates the feed, allowing the membrane to separate increments of
