主 题:Fluoride renewable energy LPRO membrane drinking water rural areas
摘 要:The analysis results made on drinking water from the rural areas of Kaolack,Diourbel and Fatick central region of Senegal showed the excess of fluoride and chloride *** on the area,the fluoride concentration in the water can reach 3.5 mg/*** values obtained are completely above of WHO(World Health Organization)*** objective of this study is to assess the performances of membrane filtration units powered by renewable energies for fluoride and salinity excess removal in remote village in *** membrane filtration units have been installed in rural areas of regions such as Kaolack,Fatick and *** membrane filtration units are equipped by the LPRO(Low Pressure Reverse Osmosis)membranes with 9 m^(2)of surface.A rejection rate of fluoride and chloride ions obtained is 99.33%and 95.25%*** conversion rates are ranged from 45%to 65%.These results clearly show that membrane processes can be used in Africa,especially in isolated rural areas,with the combination of renewable ***,more than twenty membrane filtration units are installed in Senegal and provide drinking water of very good quality for populations living in rural *** prospect is to expand it on a larger scale,which is already underway,with the construction of a desalination plant in Dakar.
