Effects of coagulation/sedimentation as a pre-treatment on the dead-end ultrafiltration (UF) membrane process were studied in terms of membrane fouling and removal efficiency of natural dissolved organic matter, using Chitose River water. Two types of experiment were carried out. One was a bench scale membrane filtration with jar-test and the other was membrane filtration pilot plant combined with the Jet Mixed Separator (JMS) as a pre-coagulation/sedimentation unit. In the bench scale experiment, the effects of coagulant dosage, pH and membrane operating pressure on the membrane fouling and removal efficiency of natural dissolved organic matter were investigated. In the pilot plant experiment, we also investigated the effect of pre-coagulation/sedimentation on the membrane fouling and the removal efficiency of natural dissolved organic matter. Coagulation/sedimentation prior to membrane filtration process controlled the membrane fouling and increased the removal efficiency of natural dissolved organic matter.

The removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during municipal solid waste leachate treatment in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) was investigated. The MBR was operated with fouled and cleaned membranes, at a time. DOM, mixed liquor, and effluent were characterized by fractionation and fluorescence excitation–emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy. Results showed DOM removals of 82% during the MBR operation with the fouled membrane. The DOM characterization indicated that most of the hydrophilic compounds and protein-like substances could be significantly removed by microbial activities in the treatment processes. Furthermore partial removal or transformation of organic substances was observed during membrane filtration. The fouled membrane improved DOM rejection by only about 2% when compared to the cleaned membrane, which demonstrated the significance of irreversible foulants on DOM rejection. There were insignificant differences in DOM fractionation and EEM fluorescence spectra between water samples filtered through the fouled and cleaned membranes.

Abstract The application of microgranular adsorptive filtration (μGAF) has been successfully used in conjunction with membrane filtration. It proves to be efficient not only in removal of natural organic matter (NOM) but also it significantly reduces the extent of fouling. There are a few mathematical models evaluated to understand the underlying mechanism of fouling. This paper describes a method of predicting filtration capacities using constant flow datasets collected when μGAF was applied. The results suggest that the behaviour of fouling in microgranular adsorptive filtration system varies between different filtration operations and natural water quality. In analysed case the mechanism of pores blocking can be described by the complete blocking mechanism.
