The present work proposes the optimisation of an integrated process that consists in the coupling of Nanofiltration (NF) with Steam Stripping for the treatment of ammoniacal wastewaters contaminated by cyanides ions and phenols. These wastewaters are fractionated by NF into an ammonium concentrate and an ion-containing permeate stream. The concentrates are further fractionated in the steam stripping column. The NF experiments were performed with a DSS plate and frame Lab-Unit 20, equipped with a HR-98-PP membrane. The NF experiments were run in concentration mode to optimise the concentrate ammonium content/permeate flux as a function of water recovery ratio (RR). The optimisation of the NF/steam stripping integrated process was carried out with a sequential process simulator. The optimisation study showed that the NF should work at a recovery ratio of 40%. At this RR the ammonium can be efficiently concentrated and purified from cyanides at reasonable permeate flowrates. The column steam consumption was also optimised as a function of the NF concentrates flowrate. The integrated process leads to an increase of the stripping efficiency and to significant energy savings (0.698 EURO/m(3) treated water).
