Flux and Rejection of Methyldiethanolamine from Wastewater by Composite Reverse Osmosis Membrane

Amine based sweetening process has been widely used for the removal of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from sour natural gas. However, during the process of absorption-desorption, a small amount of amine get carries over and discharged into the effluent wastewater stream. Treatment of amine wast...
