Use of surface-active agents in the impurity removal process from solutions containing acetic derivatives using nano-filtration with membranes, in a process to obtain cellulose acetate.

摘要

This invention refers to the use of surface-active agents as a treatment of effluents containing acetic derivatives by tangential filtration characterized from aqueous solutions containing between 20 and 35% in weight of acetic derivatives having been optionally decanted and filtered in a conventional manner in order to remove suspended impurities, which undergo the addition of one or more surface-active agents, while submitted to the tangential filtration process via polymer membranes, the cutting range of which may vary between 0.001 and 0.005 microns and feed pressure which may vary between approximately 1 and 50 barg, being that at least one of the surface-active agents present a component chosen from the lignosulfonates containing a monomeric unit indicated by the formula:
