Line 6. Wastewater reclamation by membranes, adsorption and advance oxidation processes
This line of research aims to study wastewater reclamation processes that include membrane, adsorption and advanced oxidation technologies in order to obtain water of enough quality for reuse.
In this way, the application of ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane processes and their combinations with other techniques such as adsorption, application of ozone and combined treatment of ozone, UV radiation and hydrogen peroxide with and without catalysts are studied. In this way, a process can be achieved that eliminates not only microorganisms and salts, but also persistent organic compounds such as pesticides, pharmaceutical compounds, etc.
Special attention must be paid to the study of the management of reject streams from the applied membrane processes and the fouling of the membranes. The cleaning protocols to be followed are also studied. The quality objective of the reclaimed water will depend on the subsequent use (agricultural use, reuse in industries, etc.).
