Abstract:
 Retention properties of TiO2 nanofiltration membrane ( with mean pore size of 1.5 nm ) with respect to the heavy metal salt solutions, namely Cu(NO3)2, Ni(NO3)2, ZnCl2 and CdCl2 were investigated. The effects of processing parameters, such as pH, transmembrane pressure and concentration of heavy metal ions, on membrane retention rate were studied in detail. Results show that heavy metal ions rejection of membrane increases at first with concentration while does not vary too much as the concentration reaches 200 mg•L-1. But this is not for Cd2+. Retention properties of membrane increases slightly as the transmembrane pressure elevated. The membrane exhibits minimal retention properties towards Ni2+ and Cd2+ at a pH value of 6, where the maximal retention rate towards Cu2+ and Zn2+ can be found. Retention properties of TiO2 nanofiltration membrane towards Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ can reach maximum values of 96.9 %, 95.9 %, 92.5 % and 83.2 %, respectively.
