Nylon Electrospun Nanofibre Water Filtration Media For Wastewater Treatment

Uncontrolled discharge of wastewater effluent has been a major concern due to the negative impact to human health and the environment. Increasingly stringent regulation has caused filter manufacturers to explore new materials to improve their products. Water filtration media using ultrafine fibres c...

Nylon Electrospun Nanofibre Water Filtration Media For Wastewater Treatment
description Uncontrolled discharge of wastewater effluent has been a major concern due to the negative impact to human health and the environment. Increasingly stringent regulation has caused filter manufacturers to explore new materials to improve their products. Water filtration media using ultrafine fibres could be one of the potential solutions due to their promising characteristics. In this study, nanofibre incorporated water filtration media were produced, investigated, and characterized. A thin nylon electrospun nanofibre layer were deposited onto standard glass fibre filters and samples were collected at different electrospinning times. Suspended solid retention test was conducted using a vacuum filtration system based on BS EN 872:2005 standard. The absorbance of the feed and filtrate in terms of suspended solid and chemical oxygen demand of the water samples were also measured using a colorimeter based on Hach Method 8006 and 8000 respectively.
