Aggregation combined with gravitational separation is the most commonly used method to treat water globally, but it carries a significant economic and environmental burden as the chemicals used in the process (e.g., coagulants) generate ~8 million tons of metal-based sludge waste annually. To simultaneously deal with the issues of process sustainability, cost, and efficiency, we developed materials reengineered from pristine or waste fibers to serve as super-bridging agents, adsorbents, and ballast media. This study shows that these sustainable fiber-based materials considerably increased the floc size (~6630 µm) compared to conventional physicochemical treatment using a coagulant and a flocculant (~520 µm). The fiber-based materials also reduced coagulant (up to 40%) and flocculant usage (up to 60%). Moreover, the unprecedented size of flocs produced using fiber-based materials (up to ~13 times larger compared to conventional treatment) enabled easy floc removal by screening, thereby eliminating the need for a settling tank, a large and costly process unit. Our results show that fiber-based materials can be effective solutions at removing classical (e.g., natural organic matter (NOM) and phosphorus) and emerging contaminants (e.g., microplastics and nanoplastics). Due to their large size (> 3000 µm), some Si-grafted and Fe-grafted fiber-based materials can be easily recovered from settled/screened sludge and reused multiple times for coagulation/flocculation. Our results also show that these materials could be used in synergy with coagulants and flocculants to improve settling in existing water treatment processes. Furthermore, these reusable materials combined with separation via screening could allow global water treatment facilities to reduce their capital and operating costs as well as their environmental footprint.

Curah hujan yang tinggi di Jakarta merupakan potensi yang luar biasa dan perlu dimanfaatkan. Pemanfaatan air hujan menjadi air siap minum di Gedung Dinas Pendidikan Provinsi DKI Jakarta merupakan sebuah terobosan penerapan konsep bangunan green building di daerah Ibukota DKI Jakarta. Perencanaan diawali dengan menghitung kebutuhan air minum untuk karyawan di kantor dengan kebutuhan air minum sebanyak 480 liter/hari atau 132.480 liter/tahun. Air hujan difilter dua kali untuk memenuhi standar air minum, sehingga air dapat dikonsumsi. Eksisting raw water tank digunakan untuk menampung air baku hasil filter awal (pretreatment). Sistem pengaliran airnya menggunakan sistem gabungan, air dipompakan dari bak penampung menuju rooftank atau reservoir dengan kapasitas volume sebesar 2550 m3, kemudian air didistribusikan ke lokasi tempat air minum. Pemilihan filter akhir (treatment) dipilih dari perbandingan antara sistem reverses osmosis, sistem depot air minum, dengan sistem dispenser (galon) dan dihasilkan metode reverse osmosis lebih baik dari segi kualitas air serta menguntungkan dari segi ekonomis. Pada tahun ke-2 modal awal yang telah dikeluarkan pada tahun pertama telah kembali. Kemudian pada tahun berikutnya penghematan biaya meningkat. Dibutuhkan biaya keseluruhan pelaksanaan sebesar Rp. 496.636.000,00. Kata Kunci: air hujan, air siap minum, reverse osmosis, water treatment
