| Abstract | This work reports outcomes of a pilot trial and practical assessment of direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) towards achieving zero liquid discharge at a textile manufacturing plant. Treatment of textile wastewater is difficult due primarily to the complexity of textile processing and the wastewater produced. Combined effluent from the site, either untreated or treated with the site's existing flocculation and biological processes, were considered as the feeds to the MD testing. Initial bench scale studies found rapid membrane wetting appeared to be avoided by the novel use of foam fractionation on the untreated effluent, or by using the conventionally treated effluent. The trial was conducted on treated effluent using fractionation on a side stream within the MD process, and no wetting was observed over the entire 3 month trial duration. The flux of the 6.4 m2 membrane module started at 5 L m−2 h−1 and declined to 2 L m−2 h−1 after more than 65 days. Caustic cleaning effectively restored flux to 4 L m−2 h−1. A 41-fold increase in feed concentration was verified by sulphate measurements, increasing from 567 mg L−1 to 23 000 mg L−1. After concentrating in the hot cycle, all ammonia entering the DCMD plant from the feedwater was found to evolve into the permeate, but non-volatile sulphate rejection was >99.9%. Water recovery at the end of the trial was 91.6%. A plant integration assessment found that zero liquid discharge would be feasible if saline waste streams were isolated and reverse osmosis processes were coupled with MD harnessing waste heat. MD application to current and future treatment scenarios with waste heat integration to textile processing appears viable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
