The fouling mechanism of the anion exchange membrane (AEM) induced by natural organic matter (NOM) in the absence and presence of calcium ions was systematically investigated via the extended Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (xDLVO) approach. Sodium alginate (SA), humic acid (HA), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were utilized as model NOM fractions. The results indicated that the presence of calcium ions tremendously aggravated the NOM fouling on the anion exchange membrane because of Ca-NOM complex formation. Furthermore, analysis of the interaction energy between the membrane surface and foulants via xDLVO revealed that short-range acid–base (AB) interaction energy played a significant role in the compositions of interaction energy during the electrodialysis (ED) process. The influence of NOM fractions in the presence of calcium ions on membrane fouling followed the order: SA > BSA > HA. This study demonstrated that the interaction energy was a dominating indicator for evaluating the tendency of anion exchange membranes fouling by natural organic matter.

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.

Next to the pore size distribution, surface charge is considered to be one main factor in the separation performance of ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. By applying an external surface potential onto an electro-conductive UF membrane, electrostatic induced rejection was investigated. This study introduces in a first part a relatively simple but yet not reported technology of membrane modification with direct current sputter deposition of ultrathin (15 nm) highly conductive gold layers. In a second part, characterization of the gold-coated UF flat sheet membrane with a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 150 kDa is presented. Membrane parameters as contact angle (hydrophobicity), pure water permeability, MWCO, scanning electron microscopy imaging, zeta potential, surface conductivity and cyclic voltammetry of the virgin and the modified membrane are compared. Due to the coating, a high surface conductivity of 107 S m−1 was realized. Permeability of the modified membrane decreased by 40% but MWCO and contact angle remained almost unchanged. In a third part, cross-flow filtration experiments with negative charged Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter (SRNOM) are conducted at different cathodic and anodic applied potentials, different pH values (pH 4, 7, 10) and ionic strengths (0, 1, 10 mmol L−1). SRNOM rejection of not externally charged membrane was 28% in cross-flow and 5% in dead-end mode. Externally negative charged membrane (−1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl) reached rejection of 64% which was close to the performance of commercial UF membrane with MWCO of 5 kDa. High ionic strengths or low pH of feed reduced the effect of electrostatic rejection.

Fouling and subsequent chemical cleaning are two important issues for sustainable operation of nanofiltration (NF) membranes in water quality control applications. Because fouling strongly depends on the feed water quality, especially the ionic composition, chemical cleaning solutions should be chosen to target the solution chemistry that is most responsible for the formation of a compact, high resistance fouling layer. In this study, the effect of solution chemistry on natural organic matter (NOM) fouling of two NF membranes with different surface properties was investigated. Compared to monovalent cations, divalent cations were found to greatly enhance NOM fouling by complexation. Moreover, calcium ions caused a much greater fouling rate than magnesium ions, presumably due to the intermolecular bridging formed among NOM molecules through the calcium ions. Various chemical cleaning solutions were evaluated for water flux recovery efficiency. Although both deionized water and dilute NaOH solution were found effective in cleaning membranes fouled in the absence of calcium ions, efficient chemical cleaning in presence of calcium was achieved only when the calcium ion bridging was eliminated. The cleaning efficiency was shown to be highly dependent on solution pH and the concentration of the chemical cleaning agent.
