The municipality proposes to use reverse osmosis to remove CaCl2
from a salt water stream, whose flow rate is 3.25 m3/h. The
temperature is 18°C and the CaCl2 concentration in the feedwater is
11,100 mg/L. The available membrane area has been determined to
be 10 m2. The characteristics of the membrane are: water mass
transfer coefficient through the membrane, KW = 0.73 L/m2-bar-h;
mass transfer coefficient for the solute across the membrane, KS =
0.60 L/m2-h; Osmotic coefficient of the feed water is 0.96 and for the
permeate it is 0.99. The water recovery is 12%.
a) Estimate the flow of water through the membrane
b) Estimate the concentration of CaCl2 in the permeate in mg/L.
c) Estimate the osmotic pressure of the feed and permeate
d) The process and the membrane used meet the requirements of the
municipality
