Resumen


En este estudio se aborda el rendimiento de una membrana de ultrafiltración (UF) para el tratamiento de los efluentes generados por la industria oleícola, mediante la aplicación de distintos pretratamientos. Tras aplicar un proceso fotocatalítico (UV/TiO2 PC) después de una floculación pH-temperatura (pH-T F) se observaron flujos límite para todos los efluentes mayores que tras la aplicación únicamente del proceso pH-T F, con incrementos del 18.8–34.2 %. Además, el rendimiento de la membrana de UF mejoró en términos de eficiencia de rechazo, con mayores valores de rechazo respecto de los contaminantes orgánicos (RCOD), 48.5 vs. 39.9 % y 53.4 vs. 42.0 %. El rendimiento de la membrana mejoró también en términos de recuperación de volumen de alimentación (VRF), alcanzando hasta un 88.2 vs. 87.2 % y 90.7 vs. 89.3 %. Se observaron resultados en la misma línea cuando las aguas residuales del lavado del aceite, altamente contaminadas, fueron previamente mezcladas con el efluente generado en el lavado de las aceitunas. Esto permite que el permeado de la UF cumpla con los límites estándar para la utilización del efluente para riego (valores de la DQO inferiores a 1000 mg L−1), favoreciendo la eficiencia económica del proceso de tratamiento y permitiendo que el proceso de producción del aceite de oliva pueda ser respetuoso con el medio ambiente.
