RESUMO
Oil is a major pollutant of water resources, affects aquatic life, causing environmental degradation. Currently there is an increase in studies of membrane applied to separation of oil-water. Among these membranes, there are composite membranes, which show as main characteristic an association of organic and inorganic membrane properties. In a tangential flow process, the ceramic tube (support) is responsible for the mechanical strength of the membrane and the selective barrier property of the membrane is established by the polymer. The aim of this work is the application of α-alumina/polyamide 66 composite membrane in the retention of sunflower oil from oil-water emulsions and the study of resistance of such membranes in ultrafiltration processes. The α-alumina ceramic tubes were impregnated internally with a solution of polyamide 66 (PA66) (5% w/v) and tested with distilled water and sunflower oil solutions at concentrations of 50, 100 and 200 mg·L-1. Membranes impregnated with PA66 showed a sunflower oil retention between 53.5 and 99.5% and superior membrane resistance (MR) to the permeate flux (1.92 x 1013 a 5.52 x 1013) which explains the decrease in the permeate volume.
