Natural Organic Matter (NOM) content in peat water is a major problem of membrane fouling in ultrafiltration (UF). For that, two stages adsorption as pre-treatment was employed to minimize the membrane fouling of NOM content. This research was carried out to investigate the effect of two stages adsorption on ultrafiltration performance for NOM removal that remains in peat water. This method was using powdered activated carbon (PAC) dosage of 80, 160, 240, 320, 400, 480, 560, 640, 720, 800, 880 dan 960 mg.L-1. Then, Polysulfone (Psf) material was employed for Ultra filtration process. Membrane was applied in a dead-end mode with various operating pressure (1; 1.5; 2; 2.5; 3 bar). As a results, the optimum dose of PAC was 800 mg L-1 with dosage ratio of 3/4:1/4. Two stages adsorption-UF PSf provided the range from 86.9 to 92.8% of KMnO4 and 74.1-88.1% of UV254. For the experimental condition of 3 bar, the highest flux was achieved up to 39.919 L h-1.m-2.

ABSTRAK Penyisihan kandungan bahan organik alami (BOA) pada air gambut dengan menggunakan membran ultrafiltrasi polisulfon mempunyai kendala berupa terjadinya fouling membran. Proses hibrid koagulasi satu tahap dan ultrafiltrasi diketahui hanya mampu menyisihkan kandungan BOA yang bersifat hidrofobik dan sebagian kandungan hidrofilik. Penggunaan koagulasi dua tahap diduga mampu mengurangi potensi fouling pada membran, serta lebih baik dalam menyisihkan kandungan BOA hidrofobik dan hidrofilik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan dosis dan tekanan optimum pada proses hibrid koagulasi dua tahap dan UF-PSf dalam menyisihkan kandungan BOA air gambut, serta mengetahui pengaruh praperlakuan koagulasi dua tahap terhadap perubahan nilai fluks pada membran UF-PSf. Proses koagulasi menggunakan alat jar test dengan koagulan Al2(SO4)3. Sistem filtrasi pada membran UF-PSf menggunakan sistem aliran dead-end. Kondisi operasi optimum pada proses hibrid koagulasi dua tahap dan UF-PSf didapatkan pada dosis 175 mg/L dan tekanan filtrasi 3 bar dengan besar penyisihan BOA zat organik KMnO4 dan UV254 berturut-turut sebesar 97,32% dan 96,02%%. Praperlakuan koagulasi dua tahap memberikan pengaruh terhadap nilai fluks yang semakin besar pada proses hibrid koagulasi dua tahap dan UF-PSf. Nilai fluks pada tekanan optimum 3 bar yaitu sebesar 154,84 L/m2.jam. Kata kunci:   Air gambut, bahan organik alami,  fouling membran, koagulasi dua tahap, membran ultrafiltrasi polisulfon. ABSTRACT  Removal of natural organic matter (NOM) on peat water by Polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane (UF-PSf) have some of promblem, namely membrane fouling. Hybrid process of one-stage coagulation and UF-PSf can remove hydrophobic and some hydrophilic content of NOM. Two stage coagulation was allegedly able to decrease membrane fouling, and better to remove hydrophobic and hydrophilic content of NOM. The purpose of this reseach is to find the optimum dose and pressure on two stage coagulation and UF-PSf hybrid process to remove NOM in peat water, and to known the effect of two stage coagulation pretreatment towards flux value changes on UF-PSf membranes. The coagulation process using jar test instrument with Al2(SO4)3 coagulant. The filtration system on the UF-PSf membrane using dead-end flow system. The optimum dose and pressure on hybrid process of two stage coagulation and UF-PSf is 175 mg/L and 3 bar with BOA removal of organic subtances KMnO4 and UV254 respectively amounted to 97,32% and 96,02%. Two stage coagulation pretreatment giving icreasing the flux value on two stage coagulation and UF-PSf hybrid process. The flux value of optimum pressure at 3 bar is 154,84L/m2.hours.  Keywords:    peat water, natural organic matter (NOM), fouling membrane, two stage coagulation,           polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane.

The Hot Water Percolation (HWP) technique for preparing soil extracts has several advantages: it is easily carried out, fast, and several parameters can be measured from the same solution. The object of this study was to examine the possible use of HWP extracts for the characterization of soil organic matter. The HPLC-SEC chromatograms, UV-VIS and fluorescence properties of the HWP extracts were studied and the results were compared with those of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) Soil Humic Acid (HA), IHSS Soil Fulvic Acid (FA) and IHSS Suwannee Natural Organic Matter (NOM) standards as well as their HA counterparts isolated by traditional extraction methods from the original soil samples. The DOM of the HWP solution is probably a mixture of organic materials, which have some characteristics similar to the Soil FA fractions and NOM. The HWP extracted organic material can be studied and characterized using simple techniques, like UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Membrane fouling by natural organic matter (NOM), namely by humic substances (HS), is a major problem in water treatment for drinking water production using membrane processes. Membrane fouling is dependent on membrane morphology like pore size and on water characteristics namely NOM nature. This work addresses the evaluation of the efficiency of ultrafiltration (UF) and Coagulation/Flocculation/UF performance in terms of permeation fluxes and HS removal, of the water from Tagus River (Valada). The operation of coagulation with chitosan was evaluated as a pretreatment for minimization of membrane fouling. UF experiments were carried out in flat cells of 13.2×10−4 m2 of membrane surface area and at transmembrane pressures from 1 to 4 bar. Five cellulose acetate membranes were laboratory made to cover a wide range of molecular weight cut-off (MWCO): 2,300, 11,000, 28,000, 60,000 and 75,000 Da. Severe fouling is observed for the membranes with the highest cut-off. In the permeation experiments of raw water, coagulation prior to membrane filtration led to a significant improvement of the permeation performance of the membranes with the highest MWCO due to the particles and colloidal matter removal.
