Photooxidation oxidizes most organic compounds by mineralizing them to small inorganic molecules. In this study, the effects of dissolved organic matter (DOM), pH, and polypropylene (PP) beads concentration on membrane fouling were investigated in a hybrid water treatment process consisting of seven-channel alumina microfiltration (pore size 1.0 μm) and pure PP beads water backwashing with UV irradiation for photooxidation. The synthetic feed was prepared with humic acid and kaolin and flowed inside the microfiltration (MF) membrane. The permeate contacted the PP beads fluidized in the gap of the membrane and module with outside UV irradiation. Membrane fouling resistance (Rf) increased dramatically with an increase in the concentration of humic acid (HA) from 6 mg/L to 8 mg/L. The treatment efficiency of DOM increased dramatically, from 14.3% to 49.7%, with an increase in the concentration of HA. The Rf decreased with an increase of PP beads concentration. However, maximum permeate volume (VT) was acquired at 5 g/L of PP beads. The maximal treatment efficiency of DOM was 51.3% at 40 g/L of PP beads. The Rf increased with an increase in the pH of feed, and the maximum VT was acquired at a pH of 5. The maximal treatment efficiency of DOM was 52.5% at pH 9.

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.

Treatment Function

For advanced water treatment, function of microfiltration (MF), adsorption, photo-oxidation, humic acid (HA), and polypropylene (PP) particles on membrane fouling and decay effectiveness were investigated in an integrated water treatment, of multichannel ceramic MF and PP particles, using UV radiation and air backwashing. The synthetic feed was organized with HA and kaolin. The membrane fouling resistance (Rf) of the (MF + PP) system presented the lowermost, and amplified intensely from the (MF + UV) to MF system. The percentages of MF and adsorption by PP particles for turbidity treatment were 87.6% and 3.8%, individually; however, the percentages of MF and adsorption by PP particles for dissolved organic matters (DOM) treatment were 27.9% and 5.0%, respectively. The decay effectiveness of turbidity presented the greatest 95.4% at HA of 10 mg/L; however, that of DOM increased as HA concentration ascended. The ultimate Rf after 180 min procedure showed the maximum at 30 g/L of PP particles concentration, and improved dramatically, as PP particles decreased. Finally, the maximum VT was acquired at 30 and 50 g/L of PP particles, because flux preserved greater throughout the procedure. The decay effectiveness of turbidity and DOM showed the maximal 95.4% and 56.8% at 40 and 50 g/L of PP particles, respectively.
