Abstract This study was to assess the effect of powdered activated carbon (PAC) pre-adsorption time on ultrafiltration performance for surface water treatment. Experimental results demonstrated that membrane fouling could be mitigated by extending the pre-adsorption time. The molecular weight (MW) distribution of water samples was determined by liquid chromatography – organic carbon detector (LC-OCD) and results showed that the mechanism of PAC controlling fouling was attributed to a decrease in the low molecular weight (LMW) fraction of raw water via extending the pre-adsorption time. Fouling indexes (FIs) were used to evaluate membrane fouling potential and the results showed that polysaccharides (PS) and proteins (PN) were greatly responsible for membrane fouling. Therefore, prolonging the PAC pre-adsorption time and decreasing the PS and PN content in raw water are the main measurement for the alleviation of membrane fouling when PAC is used as the pretreatment in waterworks.

Membrane Method

Distribution and transformation of molecular weight of organic matters in canal raw water, primary coagulated water, secondary coagulated water, enhanced coagulated water and water filtered by activated carbon were monitored by ultrafiltration membrane method. The results show that organics on the fraction of molecular weight less than 2kDa has the largest ratio in total organics of outlets of coagulation and activated carbon tank. Removal rate of total organics is about 73% by secondary coagulation, but which of micromolecule organics of molecular weight less than 2kDa is only 10%, which can be removed by activated carbon more than 80%.

Membrane fouling is still the bottleneck affecting the technical and economic performance of the ultrafiltration (UF) process for the surface water treatment. It is very important to accurately understand fouling mechanisms to effectively prevent and control UF fouling. The rejection performance and fouling mechanisms of the UF membrane for raw and coagulated surface water treatment were investigated under the cycle operation of constant-pressure dead-end filtration and backwash. There was no significant difference in the UF permeate quality of raw and coagulated surface water. Coagulation mainly removed substances causing turbidity in raw surface water (including most suspended particles and a few organic colloids) and thus mitigated UF fouling effectively. Backwash showed limited fouling removal. For the UF process of both raw and coagulated surface water, the fittings using single models showed good linearity for multiple models mainly due to statistical illusions, while the fittings using combined models showed that only the combined complete blocking and cake layer model fitted well. The quantitative calculations showed that complete blocking was the main reason causing flux decline. Membrane fouling mechanism analysis based on combined models could provide theoretical supports to prevent and control UF fouling for surface water treatment.
