Water Refining By the Membrane Separation Method

The investigations in this paper refer to the possibility of wastewater refining from deinking flotation process by the method of membrane separation. The offset impressions made with the conventional printing inks as wellas the models based on the raw materials of renewable origin were used in the recycling process. Before andafter the water treatment, the concentration of the sulphate, chloride, nitrate, total organic substance, oxygenconsumption, pH and electric conductivity was determinedin all the samples by standard analytical methods.

The results point at the dependence of the concentration of the investigated inorganic and organic pollution with the characteristics of the prints used in the recycling process. The concentration decrease of the investigated pollution using the method of the membrane separation in relation to the boundary values of the water quality necessary for the paper production has been discussed. Besides the specific scientific contribution, the practical application of the investigation is the contribution to the closing of water circuit in paper production.
