Integration of immersed membrane ultrafiltration with coagulation and activated carbon adsorption for advanced treatment of municipal wastewater

A pilot-scale hollow-fiber ultrafiltration unit was installed in the wastewater treatment plant of Rethymno, Crete, Greece. The system was fed with treated unchlorinated effluent. Three sets of experiments were conducted. At first, the UF pilot unit was operated as a direct filtration unit. During the second phase, ultrafiltration was combined with the addition of a coagulant (alum). The last phase of the experiments involved the addition of activated carbon (either powdered or granular) into the system. During direct filtration, the average COD removal was 19%, while the average DOC was removed to a similar extent (25%). Effluent turbidity was practically independent of the influent turbidity with an overall average removal of 90%. Faecal and total coliform were also removed efficiently reaching average removals of 99.94% and 99.96%, respectively. Removal of heavy metals in particulate form also took place. When ultrafiltration was combined with in-line coagulation, the results were similar to those exhibited without coagulation. Combining ultrafiltration with powdered activated carbon resulted in DOC removal as high as 60%. However, after the addition of the PAC, the transmembrane pressure increased rapidly due to the formation of PAC cake on the membrane surface. Application of granular activated carbon resulted in 36% reduction of DOC without causing an increase to the trans-membrane pressure. Heavy metals present in the secondary effluent were also removed very efficiently by the GAC in the UF tank.     

沉淀-超滤工艺膜反洗水的回收处理

在处理以地表水为水源的沉淀池出水时,超滤技术存在产水率较低的问题,反洗水的回收可以有效地提高系统的产水率和降低运行成本。试验设计了两套小试微滤膜系统,将膜反洗水经过预处理后按1∶9比例与滦河水混合作为一套小试膜系统进水,另外一套小试膜系统处理滦河水。试验考察了两种预处理方式对于混配水膜系统的出水水质及膜污染的影响。结果表明,在膜反洗水中投加混凝剂和粉末活性炭（PAC）后,相对仅投加混凝剂的预处理方式,混配水系统的出水水质得到改善,UV₂₅₄和COD_Mn的去除率分别提高了9%和6.3%,预处理方式对于混配水系统出水浊度没有影响,比通量衰减速率降低了16.6%。在反洗水经混凝和PAC吸附后,混配水和滦河水系统出水水质与膜污染状况未见显著差异。     

Application of ultrafiltration hybrid membrane processes for reuse of secondary effluent

This study evaluates the factors affecting pretreatment conditions for hybrid UF membrane processes for reuse of secondary effluent from the sewage treatment plant. The experimental results obtained from the ultrafiltration (UF) membrane process showed that the particles of the size range between 0.2 and 1.2 μm caused a significant impact on membrane fouling in all cases even with or without the coagulation process. As pretreatment of UF membrane process, the coagulation significantly improved the permeate flux. Optimal flux improvement was seen at an alum dose of 50 mg/L. In addition, it was found that the permeate flux was least declined under the coagulation condition of charge neutralization (pH 5.0). Also, the powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption enhanced the permeate flux. Application of the direct filtration as a pretreatment of UF membrane process was also very effective in reducing the UF membrane fouling.     

A combined photocatalytic slurry reactor–immersed membrane module system for advanced wastewater treatment

Photocatalysis with titanium dioxide semiconductor catalyst can effectively degrade recalcitrant organic pollutants present in biologically treated sewage effluents. Focusing on process efficiency and sustainability within a broader program, this study presents results obtained with a bench-scale hybrid treatment system. The process train comprised of a slurry (suspension) type continuous photocatalytic (CP) system and an immersed hollow fibre membrane micro-ultrafilter (MF/UF) unit. The CP reactor charged with 1 g/L P-25 catalyst removed 63% dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from a synthetic wastewater (representing biologically treated sewage effluent). The addition of 0.05 g/L of powdered activated carbon (PAC) increased DOC removal up to 76%. The start-up times to achieve 60% DOC removal were 31 min and 15 min, respectively. These results show a 16 times improvement in volumetric load over a comparable batch reactor system used in previous studies by our group.Slurry type photocatalytic reactors need subsequent particle separation to retain the catalyst in the system and allow the discharge of treated effluent. The immersed membrane module accomplished this without prior slurry settling step. Membrane feed pre-treatment with pH adjustment and particle charge neutralisation with aluminium chloride coagulant led to improved critical membrane fluxes, 15.25 L/m² h and 19.05 L/m² h, respectively. In each experiment MF/UF produced near zero turbidity permeate, completely retained the photocatalyst, and flocculation also improved the efficiency of DOC removal. Membrane fouling was controlled by particle aggregation rather than feed DOC levels, but the latter had significant impact on coagulant demand. The complete treatment train achieved up to 92% DOC reduction with 12 mg/L AlCl₃ dosage using in-line coagulation conditions. The results show that in-line coagulation offers a simple yet effective means to improve the performance of slurry type photocatalytic–MF/UF hybrid systems for advanced water and wastewater treatment applications.     

投加粉末活性炭对超滤膜去除海水中有机物的影响

超滤膜的有机污染问题是膜法海水预处理技术在海水淡化工程应用面临的重要挑战,粉末活性炭吸附是目前常用的膜前预处理手段之一。本文对比分析了直接超滤和投加粉末活性炭后对海水中有机物的截留能力,利用三维荧光光谱分析了投加粉末活性炭对超滤膜截留有机物的影响机制,并考察了海水超滤过程中通量变化及膜污染情况。研究结果表明,投加粉末活性炭能够强化超滤膜对海水浊度和有机物的去除,当粉末活性炭投量为200mg/L时,整个系统对海水中DOC去除率从直接超滤时的55.1%提高到77.6%。利用粉末活性炭的吸附作用及其在超滤膜表面形成的疏松滤饼层能够显著提高超滤系统对海水中腐植酸类有机物的去除能力。与直接超滤相比,粉末活性炭-超滤系统对改善膜通量的作用有限,但粉末活性炭形成的滤饼层能够避免超滤膜与有机物直接接触,可显著减缓超滤膜的不可逆污染。     

Effect of coagulant types on textile wastewater reclamation in a combined coagulation/ultrafiltration system

A combination of coagulation and ultrafiltration (UF) processes for textile wastewater reclamation was investigated using various types of coagulating chemicals such as polyamine, alum, polyaluminum chloride (PACl), and ferric salts. The potential of the combined system was evaluated to replace the existing treatment processes which are composed of a flotation tank (primary step) and a series of filtration beds including sands, granular carbons, and diatomaceous powders. Regardless of the type and dosage of the coagulants, the UF system achieved substantial colloidal particle removal (>97% of turbidity was removed), but membrane fouling was mitigated in a different manner. The degree of fouling reduction was highly dependent upon the type of coagulants used, even though the turbidity and organics removal efficiencies were nearly the same. The polymeric coagulant aggravated membrane fouling, whereas the inorganic coagulants always helped reduce fouling. A residue of the coagulating polymer, which was added in the primary step and its concentration in the effluent was at an immeasurable level, was found to cause serious membrane fouling. The use of polymeric coagulants should be prevented or minimized if UF is considered for textile wastewater reclamation. Polymerized aluminum was found to be the most effective among the coagulants tested, although ferric salt was better than alum in controlling fouling. In particular, it seemed that the characteristics of coagulation chemistry and the coagulated particles had a great impact upon membrane fouling.     

絮凝-超滤组合工艺深度处理印染废水及阻力分析

采用絮凝-超滤组合工艺对工业印染废水的二级生化出水进行深度处理,探讨了絮凝、超滤及絮凝-超滤联用对废水中COD和浊度等去除的效果,从膜通量和膜阻力的角度分析了絮凝对减轻膜污染的作用.结果表明,超滤具有较好的除浊功能,去除率高达92%,COD去除率仅43%,PAC投加量为50mg·L~(-1)时,单独絮凝对浊度去除率可达60.5%,但对COD去除率低于20%.絮凝-超滤联用不仅能提高产水水质,使浊度和COD去除率分别达到99.8%和54%,而且对提高产水通量和减轻膜污染效果显著.通过阻力计算表明,直接超滤的阻力主要为可恢复阻力,不同压力下R_r/R_(ir)值均在0.7以上,絮凝+冲洗可大幅减小膜阻力,因而更适于工业化应用.     

Enhancement of Coagulation Flocculation Process Using Anionic Polymer for the Post Treatment of UASB Reactor Effluent

This study was conducted for the treatment of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor effluent by polymer assisted coagulation–flocculation process. The efficiency of alum, FeCl₃, and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was observed alone and in coupled with anionic polymer (Synpol). The results revealed that FeCl₃ and PAC are efficient to remove 99% of turbidity, 83% of total suspended solids (TSS), 82% and 85% of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), respectively, and 99.5% removal of total coliforms (TC) and fecal coliforms (FC). The addition of anionic polymer to alum, FeCl₃, and PAC reduces the sludge volume upto 25%.     

Treatment of textile dye effluents using coagulation–flocculation coupled with membrane processes or adsorption on powdered activated carbon

This study describes the treatment of textile wastewater by various combinations of physicochemical and membrane processes. The basic physicochemical treatment consists in coagulation/flocculation (CF) with different coagulant and flocculant concentrations. The parameters analyzed prior and after treatment are turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and absorbance (Abs). The optimal process parameters for CF are 5 for pH, 100 mg/l for coagulant (Al₂(SO₄) ₃) of 100 mg/l and 4 mg/l for flocculant. This simple treatment by CF was inefficient concerning COD reduction and dyes deterioration. It was therefore combined with microfiltration (MF) or ultrafiltration (UF) on one hand and adsorption on powdered activated carbon (PAC) on the other. The CF/MF, CF/UF and CF/PAC combinations ensure a COD removal of 37%, 42% and more than 80% respectively and a color reduction of 65%, 74% and 50% respectively.     

BPAC-UF组合工艺对微污染原水处理效果及膜污染控制

采用生物粉末活性炭-超滤(BPAC-UF)分体式工艺的中试装置,探究该工艺对西氿微污染原水的处理效果,在此基础上对比研究聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)和聚氯乙烯(PVC)两种材质超滤膜的膜污染情况。PVDF膜和PVC膜两种不同材质的膜组合工艺对浊度去除率均超过95%,超滤膜可保证出水浊度要求。PVDF膜对尺寸不超过2μm的颗粒物去除效果要略优于PVC膜。初期PAC未转化为BPAC时,工艺对氨氮和CODMn的去除主要靠活性炭吸附。当PAC转化为BPAC,BPAC-UF对氨氮的去除主要是通过生物作用,后期去除率稳定在80%以上,BPAC-UF对CODMn去除率不高,稳定在25%左右。在膜污染控制方面,PVDF膜和PVC膜的跨膜压差增长趋势相似,但PVC膜的跨膜压差增速要略高于PVDF膜。经过强化物理反冲洗和化学反冲洗后,PVDF膜和PVC膜的产水性能均能恢复至较优状态,且PVDF膜恢复程度略优于PVC膜。     

Evaluation of coagulation and PAC adsorption pretreatments on membrane filtration for a surface water in Korea: A pilot study

Application of membrane filtration has been significantly expanded throughout the world in two decades. A project was launched to facilitate the application of membrane filtration in drinking water plants in Korea in 2004. Five pilot plants each with a capacity of 500 m³/d were installed in a Gueui Drinking Water Plant. The Han River water was a main raw water source for the plants. Key parameters of the raw water were examined. The raw water characteristics are tremendously varied with seasons and rain fall, especially in terms of turbidity and algae numbers. The operation of pretreatment was of substantial importance due to the variation of the raw water. Coagulation and powdered activated carbon adsorption were performed as pretreatment options of microfiltration. The coagulant doses were optimized with increasing turbidity compared to the conventionally used operational manual. PAC adsorption was applied to overcome fouling by high algae numbers. The addition of PAC relieved the aggravation of fouling. However, the PAC addition could not stop the undergoing fouling. A set of laboratory experiments showed that the removal of floc aggregates after coagulation and PAC was critical to maintain high water flux in the membrane system.     

Comparative Studies on Coagulation and Adsorption as a Pretreatment Method for the Performance Improvement of Submerged MF Membrane for Secondary Domestic Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Membrane fouling is the main limitation of water and wastewater treatment. Coagulation and adsorption can remove organic materials which play an important role in fouling phenomena. Thus, this study focused on the comparison of the hybrid process of coagulation and adsorption coupled with microfiltration (MF) membrane for the secondary domestic wastewater from an apartment complex in Gwangju city, South Korea. Coagulation and adsorption were adopted as a pretreatment method prior to MF treatment. Three different powdered activated carbon (PAC) and ferric chloride were used as an adsorbent and as a coagulant. MF was operated in a submerged mode using hollow fiber polyethylene membrane with pore size of 0.4 µm for the separation of suspended organic solids resulted from coagulation or PAC particles, which are used for adsorbing organics dissolved in wastewater. Prior to study on the hybrid system, the performance of coagulation and adsorption processes were optimized individually for the removal of organics. Then, the overall performance for the hybrid system of coagulation/MF and PAC/MF was evaluated based on TOC removal, turbidity removal, and flux decline. It was found that the combined coagulation/MF and PAC/MF showed similar performance for TOC removal while coagulation/MF resulted in a significant decrease of the flux decline.

Combined adsorption and Chemical precipitation process for pretreatment or post-treatment of landfill leachate

Performances of combined adsorption and chemical precipitation were evaluated as one of the options for pretreatment or post-treatment of a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill leachate and leachate from an industrial solid waste landfill. The COD and color removals of the leachate from a MSW landfill were 35% and 33% at an alum dose of 300 mg/L with preceding PAC (powdered activated carbon) dose of 200 mg/L, respectively. For MSW leachate, the combined adsorption and coagulation process showed 2.3 times higher COD removal at PAC dose of 200 mg/L and alum dose of 500 mg/L than the unit process of adsorption with poor settleability. The COD removal was accomplished mainly by adsorption, while coagulation was a key mechanism of color removal. The COD and color of the biologically treated leachate from an industrial solid waste landfill were removed up to 32% and 68%, respectively, at addition of 490 mgAlum/L and 1,000 mgPAC/L in adsorption-coagulation process with pH control. Combined adsorption and coagulation process with pH control showed better COD and color removal than the process without pH control. The color removal was influenced greatly by pH control, while COD removal was not. No difference in removal efficiency was observed between adsorption-coagulation and coagulation-adsorption. Maximum net increases in the COD and color removals by the adsorption-coagulation process were 40% and 46%, respectively, compared with the removals by sole chemical precipitation. The Freundlich isotherm exclusively described the adsorption of leachate components on the PAC. Thus, a combined adsorption and coagulation process was considered to be effective for pre-treatment or post-treatment of landfill leachate, and has distinct features of simple, flexible, stable and reliable operation against fluctuation of leachate quality and flowrate.     

Removal of Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) from Water: Effect of Nano and Modified Nano-clays as a Flocculation Aid and Adsorbent in Coagulation-flocculation Process

Water treatment process involving simultaneous action of adsorption on different nano and organo-modified nano-clays followed by coagulation-flocculation by alum and poly aluminium chloride (PAC) has been evaluated for the removal of PAHs (naphthalene, acenaphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, anthracene, and pyrene) from water. When clay minerals along with alum and PAC were used for treatment, 37.4–100.0% removal of PAHs was observed compared to 20–38% removal using normal water treatment process with either alum or alum + PAC. The effectiveness of clay minerals for removal of PAHs followed the order (P < 0.05): halloysitenano-clay (HN-clay) < normal bentonite (NB-clay) < hydrophilic nano-bentonite (HNB-clay) < nano-montmorillonite modified with dimethyl dialkyl amine (DMDA-M-clay) ≈ nano-montmorillonite modified with octadecylamine and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (ODAAPS-M-clay) ≈ nano-montmorillonite modified with octadecylamine (ODA-M-clay) in combination with alum + PAC. The modified treatment process (alum + PAC + clay minerals), where water was initially treated with clays followed by normal process of coagulation (alum + PAC), was found to be the most effective method with maximum removal for ODAAPS-M-clay (97.7–100.0%) which is at par wih ODA-M (97.0–100.0%), and DMDA-M-clay (94.8–100%). The removal of PAHs varied in the order: naphthalene ≈ acenaphthalene > anthracene ≈ pyrene > phenanthrene > fluoranthrene. The treatment combination having the maximum removal capacity was also used eficiently for the removal of PAHs from natural and fortified natural water. This article demonstrated adsorption-coagulation integrated system has the potential to remediate PAHs polluted water.

Decolorization and COD reduction of disperse and reactive dyes wastewater using chemical-coagulation followed by sequential batch reactor (SBR) process

This paper summarizes the results of disperse and reactive dyes wastewater treatment processes aiming at the destruction of the wastewater's color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction by means of coagulation/flocculation (CF) followed by sequential batch reactor (SBR) process. The color removal efficiency of magnesium chloride aided with lime [MgCl₂/CaO] was compared with that of alum [Al₂ (SO₄)₃] and lime [Cao]. The experimental results showed that treatment with lime alone (600 mg/l) at pH value of 11.7 proved to be very effective. Color removal reached 100% and COD was reduced by 50%. Treatment with magnesium chloride aided with lime at pH value of 11 removed color completely and reduced the COD value by 40%. However, lime or lime in combination with magnesium chloride produced high amounts of sludge (1.84 kg/m³ for lime & 1.71 kg/m³ for MgCl₂ aided with lime). Also, the pH of the treated effluent was around 11 and needs correction prior to discharge into sewer network. The use of 200 mg/l alum without pH adjustment removed 78.9% of the color. To improve the effectiveness of alum, the cationic polymer namely cytec was used as a coagulant aid. This significantly increased color removal from 78.9 up to 94% and COD reduction was around 44%. Moreover, sludge production was only 0.36 kg/m³. Chemically pre-treated effluent was subjected to SBR process at an HRT of 5.0 h. Residual COD_total, total biochemical oxygen demand (BOD_{5 total}) and total suspended solids (TSS) in the final effluent were 78 ± 7.7; 28 ± 4.2 and 17 ± 4.2 mg/l, corresponding to the removal efficiency of 68.2; 76.3 and 61.4% respectively. Furthermore, almost complete removal of COD_particulate and BOD_5particulate has been achieved.

Effect of slow sand filtration of treated wastewater as pre-treatment to UF

Ultrafiltration (UF) of treated municipal wastewater has been used to produce high-quality reuse water for different applications. However, without pre-treatment, secondary treated wastewater effluent shows high fouling potential and reduces the performance of UF membrane filtration significantly. To remove foulants prior to UF, slow sand filtration (SSF) was investigated in the present work. Two pilot-scale slow sand filters were operated in tandem with UF. The performance of the UF plant was improved to a large extent by delivering slow sand filtrate compared to direct secondary effluent filtration. Removal of common organic fouling indicators (i.e., proteins, carbohydrates, and biopolymers) by SSF was significantly higher at 0.25 m/h versus 0.5 m/h filter loading rate. Results of a comparative analysis of SSF effluent characteristics and UF performance showed that the biopolymer content detected by size exclusion chromatography displayed a good correlation with the filterability of corresponding water sample by UF, while photo-metrically detected proteins and polysaccharides did not present any relationship with UF performance.
