Nano Filtration Plant
Nanofiltration (NF) is a cross-flow filtration technology which ranges somewhere between ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO). The nominal pore size of the membrane is typically about 1 nanometre. Nanofilter membranes are typically rated by molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) rather than nominal pore size. The MWCO is typically less than 1000 atomic mass units (daltons). The transmembrane pressure (pressure drop across the membrane) required is lower (up to 3 MPa) than the one used for RO, reducing the operating cost significantly. However, NF membranes are still subject to scaling and fouling and often modifiers such as anti-scalants are required for use.
Mechanical or chemical methods could be used for effective filtration techniques. One class of filtration techniques is based on the use of membranes with suitable hole sizes, whereby the liquid is pressed through the membrane. Nanoporous membranes are suitable for a mechanical filtration with extremely small pores smaller than 10 nm ("nanofiltration") and may be composed of nanotubes.[citation needed] Nanofiltration is mainly used for the removal of ions or the separation of different fluids. On a larger scale, the membrane filtration technique is named ultrafiltration, which works down to between 10 and 100 nm. One important field of application for ultrafiltration is medical purposes as can be found in renal dialysis.
Magnetic nanoparticles may offer an effective and reliable method to remove heavy metal contaminants from waste water by making use of magnetic separation techniques. Using nanoscale particles increases the efficiency to absorb the contaminants and is comparatively inexpensive compared to traditional precipitation and filtration methods.
Some water-treatment devices incorporating nanotechnology are already on the market, with more in development. Low-cost nanostructured separation membranes methods have been shown to be effective in producing potable water in a recent study.
