Results
• Pure water flux

• SEM images of HNTS

 Flux increase with increasing pressure

 HNTs 0.04% shown highest flux
 Higher concentration of HNTS shown
decrease in flux value

• Salt rejection
performance

 Flux value shown the same trend as

pure water
 Higher rejection of divalent ions (SO42-)
than monovalent ions (Cl-)

 Results
• Dye rejection
Setazol red

 Flux value shown the same trend as

pure water
 Dye rejection rate for both dye are
found averagely as 99.7%
 High content of HNTs enhance the dye
rejection Reactive orange

 Results
• Effect of temperature
Setazol red

 Flux increase with increasing

temperature
 Dye rejection decrease with increasing
temperature for both dye

Reactive orange

13
 Results
• Effect of pH
Setazol red

 The effect of pH was insignificant on the

rejection of both dyes
 The additional negative surface charge
induced the dye aggregation by
increased pH and results in decreasing
of flux value

Conclusion
 Higher concentration of HNTs could result in agglomerations and cause a decline
in the flux
HNTs 0.04%wt indicated optimal performance, when flux and dye rejection results
were evaluated together
Salt rejection selectivity dependent on the electrostatic interaction between
membrane and salt ions
 High temperature negatively affected the membrane selectivity
 High pH causing the negative dye aggregation
