Abstract

One of the most important industries is tannery industry. The tannery industry makes the base for some countries due to large exportation of this product. In this article Membrane Distillation (MD), has been used with two types of membrane for removal Chromium ion from tannery wastewater. The measurement of chrome before and after MD has been done by HACH instrument, Method 8030 with all kits needed to achieve the tests. All other instruments have been achieved according to APHA, AWWA, and WEF. The membrane that has been used are the first is (HP) Poly tetrafluoroethylene hydrophobic (PTFE), the second is acrylic copolymer (HCP), (Pall Corporation) water. The results of tested for the first membrane confirmed that the efficiency removal reaches 82.79% then lower until it reaches 72.51%. Conversely, the efficiency for the second membrane will be 47.31%, after time the removal rate drops to 35.24%. In this time, it's better to washing the membrane to reactivating again. The first membrane is more useful when simple sedimentation performed to get rid of the settable materials. The action of temperature in the work appears in the efficiency and removal by MD, so as the temperature increases, the chrome removal efficiency increases.
