PIGNAT Reverse Osmosis – OSM3000

Description

Reverse osmosis membrane filtration process. Osmosed water production

Study the reverse osmosis process for water and various NaCl solutions:

  • Determine the osmotic pressure of water
  • Van’t Hoff equation
  • Determine how the overall retention of the module varies with the filtration pressure and initial concentration of the salt solution
  • Variation in the conversion rate of the membrane

Qualitative and quantitative comparison with experimental data:

  • Material balance
  • Influence of pressure on osmosed water production rate

Proposed experiments:

  • Filtration with water:
  • Determine the osmotic pressure of water.
  • Demonstrate the Van ’t Hoff equation.
  • Filter NaCl solutions with increasing concentrations:
  • For each concentration, measure the conductivity and permeate and concentrate flow rates.
  • Determine the overall NaCl retention of the module.
  • Determine the NaCl conversion rate.
  • Compare the qualitative and quantitative yield.
