Popis: Oily wastewaters are one of the major environmental pollutants in aquatic systems. This is due to the emission of a variety of industrial oily wastewaters from sources such as crude oil mining (production), refineries, petrochemical plants and transportation. The aims of this work were to investigate the treatment of oil-contaminated wastewaters with a pre-ozonation/microfiltration combined system and the effect of pre-ozonation on the microfiltration parameters. The results demonstrated that ozone pre-treatment modified the chemical nature (pH and conductivity) of oil-in-water emulsion, resulting in higher wettability of the polyethersulphone membrane. In case of salt-containing model emulsions compared to pure oil emulsions, ozone treatment was found to be more effective for membrane resistance reduction and in chemical oxygen demand retention.
