Removal of Congo Red Dye from Waste Streams Using Polysulfone Membrane Containing Bio-sorbent and Coated with Chitosan
Industrial effluents containing dyes are difficult to biodegrade due to their complex molecular structure and synthetic origin. This study removes Congo red dye (CRD) using polysulfone (PSF)-based flat sheet membrane by phase in version technique. PSF 18% is coated with different amounts of chitosan solution (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 1%) and loaded with Jamun leaf ash as bio-sorbent (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 g). Chitosan and Jamun leaf ash both are easily available, eco-friendly, and low-cost materials. Chitosan acts as hydrophilic additive material towards improving the antifouling properties and performance of PSF membranes. The removal efficiency of CRD is measured using a dead-end filtration setup. PSF 18% coated with 0.25% chitosan showed 98% removal efficiency with 89 l/hm2 flow rate. PSF 18% without chitosan coating showed 91% efficiency at 0.6 gm bio-sorbent loading. PSF 18% coated with 0.25% chitosan and bio-sorbent 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 g showed 100% removal efficiency with 57.32 l/hm2 flow rate. Electrostatic attraction occurred between chitosan (cation) and CRD molecules (anion). Therefore, with increased chitosan coating (%wt), percentage rejection increased, and the flux decreased.
