Application Prospect of Ceramic Membrane Coupling Process in Refinery Wastewater

Refinery wastewater has attracted wide attention because of its large amount and great environmental pollution. With the increasingly contradictory of water shortage, the deep processing of refinery wastewater has become a central issue of research. Membrane technology is widely used in advanced wastewater treatment processes, in addition, ceramic membranes are more competitive in the treatment of oily wastewater due to their unique advantages. This review summarizes the characteristics and treatment process of refinery wastewater, points out the current problems in the advanced treatment process, and describes the characteristics of the ceramic membrane and its application in refinery wastewater. Finally, the prospects and challenges faced by the wide application of ceramic membranes in refinery wastewater are forecasted.
