Abstract
Cellulose acetate membranes were characterized in terms of pure water permeability constant, solute transport parameter and mass transfer coefficient with a reference system of aqueous sodium chloride solution. Reverse osmosis separation behavior of sulfate, thiosulfate, dithionate, trithionate and tetrathionate was studied. Plant effluents containing various thiosalts and metal ions were subjected to reverse osmosis at 300 pounds per square inch gauge, and product water of suitable quality for use in recycle operations was obtained.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
