The membrane separation process is being widely used in water treatment. It is very important to control membrane fouling in the process of water treatment. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of a pre-oxidation-coagulation flat ceramic membrane filtration process using different oxidant types and dosages in water treatment and membrane fouling control. The results showed that under suitable concentration conditions, the effect on membrane fouling control of a NaClO pre-oxidation combined with a coagulation/ceramic membrane system was better than that of an O3 system. The oxidation process changed the structure of pollutants, reduced the pollution load and enhanced the coagulation process in a pre-oxidation-coagulation system as well. The influence of the oxidant on the filtration system was related to its oxidizability and other characteristics. NaClO and O3 performed more efficiently than KMnO4. NaClO was more conducive to the removal of DOC, and O3 was more conducive to the removal of UV254.

Membrane fouling is a dominant limit of the membrane separation process. In this research, the optimal water backwashing to solve the membrane fouling problem was investigated in the combined water treatment process of alumina MF and pure polypropylene (PP) beads. Additionally, the influence of membrane shape (tubular or seven channel) was examined, depending on the water backwashing period. The optimal backwashing time (BT) could be 20 s in the combined water treatment process, because of the highest total treated volume (VT) in our BT 6–30 s conditions. The optimal backwashing period (BP) could be 6 min, because of the minimum membrane fouling and the maximum VT in the combined process of tubular alumina MF and PP beads. The resistance of reversible membrane fouling (Rrf) showed a major resistance of total membrane fouling, and that of irreversible membrane fouling (Rif) was a minor one, in the combined process using tubular or seven channel MF. The Rif showed a decreasing trend obviously, as decreasing BT from NBW to 2 min for seven channel MF. It means that the more frequent water backwashing could be more effective to control the membrane fouling, especially irreversible fouling, for seven channel membranes than tubular membranes.

Abstract The membrane processes have played important role in the industrial separation process. These technologies can be found in all industrial areas such as food, beverages, metallurgy, pulp and paper, textile, pharmaceutical, automotive, biotechnology and chemical industry, as well as in water treatment for domestic and industrial application. Although these processes are known since twentieth century, there are still many studies that focus on the testing of new membranes’ materials and determining of conditions for optimal selectivity, i. e. the optimum transmembrane pressure (TMP) or permeate flux to minimize fouling. Moreover the researchers proposed some calculation methods to predict the membrane processes properties. In this article, the laboratory scale experiments of membrane separation techniques, as well their validation by calculation methods are presented. Because membrane is the “heart” of the process, experimental and computational methods for its characterization are also described.

Abstract The presence of contaminants in water is concerning due to the potential impacts on human health and the environment, and ingested contaminants cause harm in various ways. The conventional water treatment systems are not efficient to remove these contaminants. Therefore, novel techniques and materials for the removal of contaminants are increasingly being developed. The separation process using modified membranes can remove these micropollutants; therefore, they have attracted significant research attention. Among the materials used for manufacturing of these membranes, composites based on graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide are preferred owing to their promising properties, such as mechanical resistance, thermal and chemical stability, antifouling capacity, water permeability, high thermal and electrical conductivity, high optical transmittance and high surface area. Membrane separation processes (MSP) can be used as secondary or tertiary treatment during the supply of wastewater. However, the efficient and accessible applications of these technologies are challenging. This study aims to demonstrate the main concepts of membrane separation processes and their application in the removal of emerging contaminants. This study reports bibliometric mapping, relevant data on studies using membranes as water treatment processes, and their viability in industrial applications. The main challenges and perspectives of these technologies are discussed in detail as well.

AbstractGraphene, a novel carbon allotrope, is single-layered graphite with honeycomb lattice. Its unique structure endows graphene many outstanding physical/chemical properties and a large surface area, which are beneficial to its applications in many areas. The potential applications of graphene in pollution remediation are adsorption, membrane separation, catalysis, environmental analysis, and so on. The adsorption efficiency of graphene adsorbents largely depends on its surface area, porous structure, oxygen-containing groups and other functional groups, adsorption conditions, and also the properties of adsorbates. With appropriate modifications, graphene materials are mostly efficient adsorbents for organic pollutants (e.g. dyes, pesticides, and oils) and inorganic pollutants (e.g. metal ions, nonmetal ions, and gas). Since our first report of graphene adsorbents in 2010, plenty of studies have been dedicated to developing various graphene adsorbents and to evaluating their performance in treating contaminated water. Recently, there is a growing trend in graphene adsorbents that could be applied in soil remediation, where the situation is much more complicated than in aqueous systems. Herein, we review the design of graphene adsorbents for water treatment and analyze their potential in soil remediation. Several suggestions to accelerate the research on graphene-based soil remediation technology are proposed.

Abstrak- Pengolahan air bersih dengan teknologi membran merupakan proses pengolahan air dengan kualitas yang sangat baik dan sesuai untuk pengolahan air minum di negara-negara berkembang karena membran memiliki banyak sekali keunggulan. Salah satu jenis operasi pemisahan membran adalah dengan membran ultrafiltrasi. Ultrafiltrasi merupakan proses penyaringan partikel-partikel dalam rentang ukuran koloid, yaitu larutan dan molekul besar ditahan dipermukaan membran dan zat terlarut dengan ukuran sangat kecil dapat melewati membran. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan komposisi % berat dimetilformamida pada pembuatan membran ultrafiltrasi yang terbaik. Membran ultrafiltrasi ini dibuat dengan memvariasikan konsentrasi aditif dimetilformamida yang berfungsi untuk penentuan ukuran pori membran dan konsentrasi aseton. Pencampuran bahan dilakukan dengan pengadukan selama ± 6 jam, hasil cetakan film polimer dikoagulasi selama 1 jam dalam air es (± 4°C) kemudian dicuci dengan air mengalir dan disimpan dalam wadah yang diberi formalin. Kemudian dilakukan pengujian pada membran tersebut menggunakan air gambut dimana permeat yang dihasilkan di ukur volumenya setiap selang waktu 5 menit untuk menentukan fluks membrannya. Kemudian dilakukan analisa terhadap konsentrasi permeat  untuk menentukan koefisien rejeksi, di mana rejeksi yang diharapkan adalah > 90%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, membran ultrafiltrasi yang terbaik adalah membran dengan komposisi % berat dimetilformamida 20; 24 dan 28 dimana koefisien rejeksi rata-rata yang diperoleh masing-masing adalah 98,15; 92,80 dan 95,41%. Kata kunci: dimetilformamida, koefisien rejeksi, fluks Abstract-Clean water treatment with membrane technology is a water treatment process with very good quality and suitable for drinking water treatment in developing countries because the membrane has a lot of advantages. One type of membrane separation operation is with ultrafiltration membranes. Ultrafiltration is a process of filtering particles in the size range of colloids, namely liquid while large molecules detained on the surface of the membrane and the solute with very small size can pass through the membrane. The purpose of this study was to determine the best composition of %wt of dimethylformamide in the manufacture of ultrafiltration membranes. Ultrafiltration membrane is made by varying the concentration of the additive of  dimethylformamide which serves for the determination of membrane pore size and the concentration of acetone. Mixing materials done by stirring for ± 6 hours, polymer film printouts is coagulated  for 1 hour in ice water (± 4 ° C) and then washed with running water and stored in a container containing formalin. Then conducted testing on the membrane using peat water where permeate that generated is measured the volume of each interval of 5 minutes to determine the membrane flux. Then analyzing the concentration of permeate to determine the coefficient of rejection, where the expected rejection is> 90%. Based on the research results, the best ultrafiltration membrane was membrane with  composition wt% of dimethylformamide of 20; 24 and 28, where rejection coefficient average respectively was 98.15; 92.80 and 95.41%. Keywords: dimethylformamide, rejection coefficient, flux
