The separation processes by membrane sand their use in the treatment of industrial effluents of the dairy industry: literature review

Dairy industries are great generator of waste in their production processes. This effluent must be treated before its released into waterbodies, comply with AOS Legislation Standards, especially Resolution nº 357/2005 of the National Council of the Environment (CONAMA) supplemented and amended by Resolution CONAMA 430/2011, which “boasts the conditions and effluent Release Standards”. The membrane separation processes has gained prominence there regarding the treatment of effluents through compact treatment systems, as they allow the reuse of water generation that may be reusedin industrial processes. In this sense, we sought in the literature studies in the treatment area of dairy effluent through the membrane separation processes, with the aim of elucidating the importance of this type of technology in the treatment of dairy effluents.
