Abstract

Water pollution causes flora and fauna to be destroyed and this process might be irreversible as well as lead to other bad consequences, especially towards human beings. Due to the inefficiencies of the dyeing process, it is estimated that up to 200,000 tonnes of dyes are released into wastewater annually by the textile industry. This research aimed to fabricate the mixed matrix membranes made up of eggshells that were combined with silica (SiO2) for dye removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). Poly ether sulfone (PES) and N-methyl-pyro-lidone (NMP) will be added in the formulation as a binder and solvent, respectively. The results from the characterisation and filtration process of the ceramic membrane with different ratios of eggshells and silica for removing Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) dye were compared. The ATR-FTIR showed a strong existence of carbonate minerals and silica proving its functional group and properties of having good capacity in filtration. The water contact angle measurement of the 4:1 ratio of eggshell: silica gave a low contact angle value which is 2.16o while the contact angle for a 1:1 ratio membrane is 1.99o, thus, the synthesis of the membrane was successful. From the filtration process, it was discovered that the 4:1 ratio of eggshell: silica was able to remove the 50 ppm blue dye with a removal efficiency of 81.39% compared to the 1:1 ratio with a removal efficiency of 76.17%. The adsorption capacity or the amount of dye adsorbed onto hollow fibre membrane and flat sheet membrane were found to be 1.423mg/g with an adsorption percentage of 71.15% and 1.616mg/g with an adsorption percentage of 80.80% respectively. To sum up, eggshells are a practical way to remove RBBR dye from a solution and a potential raw material for membrane manufacturing.
