Ultrafiltration Pilot
Teaching Objectives of
Ultrafiltration Pilot
- Study of pressure parameter : Ultrafiltration of distilled water at 20°C while measuring the water flow at different pressures.
- Recuperation of copper : Add Cu2+ under CuSO4 form, dosage of copper by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (not supplied as standard).
- Study of discharge rate : During all tests we work at constant pressure (1bar), and at constant.
- Influence of pH on discharge rate : we vary the pH by addition of H2SO4 or NaOH. We work at constant pressure and constant Cu2+ concentration.
