Özet

Pervaporation, one of the membrane based processes using for separation of liquid mixture, provides

the varius advantages of ease of application and operation, energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, economical,

and high separation efficiency. The pervaporation process consists of 3 stages which based on the solution-

diffusion model. These are the selective sorption of the feed solution on the membrane surface, selective

diffusion through the membrane, and desorption of permeate to a vapor phase [1,2]. Metals accumulate in

human tissues, muscles, bones and joints and cause various diseases. The widespread use of chromium (Cr)

in various industries such as steel production, electroplating, cement, painting, metal and textile processing

has caused pollution of natural waters due to unsuitable treatment techniques. The chromium compounds

consist essentially of Cr (III) and Cr (VI). Cr (III) is a less toxic element in the human body compared to Cr

(VI) [3,4].

In this study, it is aimed to differentiate Cr / water (Cr (III), Cr (VI)) mixtures having different

oxidation step by using pervaporation technique by using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium Y (NaY)

zeolite mixture membranes.
