Abstract

Wastewater from refineries and petroleum plant lead to severe environmental pollution. There are various existing processes applied for oily water treatment, but membrane-based technology is one of the most efficient methods. Polymeric membranes prepared from organic materials for the separation of oil in water often face chronic problem of membrane fouling. Inorganic membranes are considered to be more efficient due to longer lifetime than organic membranes. Zeolite membranes have better chemical stability and long-term recyclability. The presence of hydrophilicity enhances the water flux of membrane. Ceramic membranes prepared from zeolites are another efficient class of inorganic membranes applied for oil water separation. This review is focused on oily wastewater separation based on zeolite membrane which classified into two categories, i) neat zeolite and ii) zeolite composites with other materials.

정유소와 석유 공장에서 발생하는 폐수는 심각한 환경오염으로 이어진다. 기름이 있는 물을 정수 처리하는 데에는 많은 방법이 존재하지만, 가장 효과적인 방법은 막을 이용한 기술이다. 물에서 기름기를 제거하는 데 사용되는 유기재료로 만들어진 고분자 막은 파울링이라는 고질적인 문제를 가지고 있다. 무기성 막은 수명이 길다는 점에서 유기성 분리막보다 효율적이다. 제올라이트 막은 우수한 화학적 안정성을 갖고 있으며 오랜 기간 재활용할 수 있다. 막에서 친수성의 존재는 막의 수 투과량을 증가시킨다. 제올라이트로 만들어진 세라믹 분리막은 물과 기름을 분리하는 데 사용되는 효율적인 무기막 중 하나이다. 본 리뷰논문은 i) 순수 제올라이트 막과 ii) 다른 물질과 혼합된 제올라이트 복합막, 2가지로 분류되는 제올라이트 기반의 무기막을 사용하는 물과 기름 분리 기술을 중점으로 다루고 있다.
