The study has initially focused on the removal of organic matter (reduction of COD) and the most representative ions present in the wastewater, such as Na+, Mg2+, Cl-, and SO42-. In a first part of the study, with a view to optimising the experimental phase, a simulation has been performed of the nanofiltration process using the NanoFlux software. Among other things, the simulation allows the most suitable membranes to be selected as a function of the permeate flow rate and desired level of retention in the substances to be removed. The subsequent experimentation was carried out in a laboratory tangential filtration system that works with flat membranes. It was found that retention values of about 90% were obtained for the studied substances, with a good permeate flow rate, using low operating pressures. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the studied technology and its potential as a treatment for improving ceramic industry wastewater quality. %G English %L hal-00808988 %U https://hal.science/hal-00808988 %~ UNIV-TLSE3 %~ IRSAMC %~ LPT %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ IEM %~ OPENAIRE %~ LPT_PHY %~ INC-CNRS %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-UT3 %~ UT3-INP %~ UT3-TOULOUSEINP %~ UM1-UM2 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
