Specifically, he/she will be operating and evaluating the performance of a laboratory scale pilot of membrane distillation with the aim to use this technology to reuse industrial effluents from the steel manufacturing industry.

KEY DUTIES

He/she will test a lab scale membrane distillation unit in ICRA to characterize membranes regarding their performance with different hot feed and cold temperatures. Trials will be carried out with clean salt solutions and with wastewater from the steel manufacturing industry. Specifically, studies will be carried out on membrane fouling and membrane wetting, i.e. chacterize the occurrence of these adverse phenomena. In addition, he/she may also test different pretreatment strategies based on coagulation-flocculation and the compatibility of membrane distillation with the reagents employed in the pretreatment. He/she will carry out the experimentation in ICRA, the data analysis, and write a final technical report.
