The experimental results showed that when the dosage of FeCl3 was 35mg/L, the removal of turbidity was above 95%, the organic matter was above 50%, and recovery of membrane flux reached 81% for the combination process. On the other hand, among the four coagulants (FeCl3, Polymeric Ferric Sulfate, Al2(SO4)3, Polymeric Aluminum Chloride) the iron-based coagulant is superior to Al-based coagulant not only in the removal of turbidity but also the organic matter, and the effect of coagulation was affected by pH. The results also suggested that coagulation could mitigate membrane fouling, and the influent water quality of MF membrane process which followed coagulation could be improved. Keywords-Coagulation; Membrane filtration; Membrane fouling I. INTRODUCTIONWith more and more serious pollution of water resources and implementation of the new Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water (GB 5749-2006) in China, conventional treatment process (e.g. coagulation-sedimentation-sand filtration- disinfection) which most existing water plants adopt could not provide satisfied drinking water1. In recent years, Membrane Technology has been widely applied in water treatment for its prominent advantages, such as higher separation efficiency, more stable and reliable effluent water quality, shorter processes, and small occupation area, etc. Therefore, Membrane Technology has been considered as an important guarantee for the safety of drinking water at present. Nowadays microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) processes are main application techniques in water plants, but their removal ability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are very poor (only about 5%10%) because the diameter of DOM in water is much smaller than the pore size of micro-filtration membrane or ultra-filtration membrane. So combined processes of enhanced coagulation, granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption or photochemical oxidation with MF (or UF) were considered to be effective technologies to remove DOM in water 2. Moreover, many studies have demonstrated that removal of DOM could be improved and membrane fouling could be alleviated when coagulation was used as pretreatment of membrane filtration process 3.The objective of this study was to discuss the influence of different coagulants and dosing methods on removal efficiency of DOM and the influence of coagulation on membrane flux for combined process of coagulation-MF in treatment of Luan River water.II. MATERIAL AND METHOD Experimental Methods At first, raw water was pumped into a coagulation reactor where coagulant was dosed and the water was agitated with blender. Then two types of water samples were taken from the reactor, one was supernatant from coagulation-sedimentation followed by membrane filtration, another was mixed liquor from the coagulation reactor followed by membrane filtration. MF membrane used in the experiment was PVDF hollow fiber membrane with film holes diameter 0.22m, and fiber inside and outside diameter were 0.6mm and 1.0mm respectively, provided by MOTIANMO Company of Tianjin Polytechnic University. Self-made membrane module in U pattern, with length 40cm, 20 pieces and membrane surface in one set. III. SELECTION OF COAGULANTSA. The influence of different coagulants on removal effect of pollutants Four coagulants were considered in the experiment: ferric chloride (FeCl3), Polymeric Ferric Sulfate (PFS), aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) and Polymeric Aluminum Chloride (PAC). The experimental design was as follows: FeCl3, PFS, Al2(SO4)3, and PAC were used as coagulants in beaker test, dosage of which were 20mg/L, 25mg/L, 30mg/L, 35mg/L,40mg/L and 45 mg/L respectively. Removal of turbidity, TOC and UV254 were used to evaluate coagulation performance. 1) The influence of coagulants under different dosing conditions on removal of turbidity It was showed that removal of turbidity increased with the increase of coagulants dosage, especially for aluminium coagulants. Among the four coagulants the best removal efficiency of turbidity was when PFS was added and the poorest removal of turbidity was obtained when Al2(SO4)3 was added. When the dosage was set at 45 mg/L, removal rate of turbidity for the four coagulants were separately 93.87% (PFS), 91.21% (FeCl3), 86.15% (PAC) and 82.9% (Al2(SO4)3).However, in view of efficiency disparities among them,due to the main aluminium species in aluminium coagulant solutions are monomeric species as well as polymeric species which make up of flocculating form with small in size. Exactly opposite, ferric coagulants in which the flocculation exists as iron hydroxides created with great density are effective for being precipitated faster, as well as a relatively high degree of polymerization 2900 under critical pH of aluminium coagulant. PFS, on the other hand, are multi-hydroxyl- complexes, existed a class of intermediates produced by the hydrolysis-polymerization-precipitation process of ferric salts under a certain condition that can be good neutralization of the colloid charge and “bridge” adsorption of the particles, coarse flocculation with fast formation, large size and good sedimentation effect produced in it. So the conclusion is that ferric coagulants performed very well in water treatment for low turbidity and PFS has high removal efficiency for SS or turbidity. 2) The influence of different coagulants on removal of TOC The TOC removal of ferric coagulants were better than that of aluminum coagulants. When dosage of PFS and FeCl3 were both 45mg/L, TOC removal were separately 55.6% and 51.4%. Equally, adding both of them under the condition of 35mg/L, we can achieve the best outcome as 46.14% and 48.38%. On the other hand, there was a similar change for aluminium coagulants between TOC removal and turbidity removal. 3) The influence of different coagulants on removal of UV254 The results showed that removal of UV254 was approximately identical with removal of TOC, which indicated that there was a positive correlation between UV254 and to some extent TOC can be substituted by UV254 to represent NOM in water.B. The effect of pH on TOC removal This part is devoted to the distribution of TOC removal with variation of pH, a detailed arrangement is as follows:coagulant dosage is 35mg/L respectively and pH is 5.0, 6.0,6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 respectively. It is shown that, pH 7.0 is the optimum of ferric coagulants as well as pH 6.5 for aluminium coagulants under the same dosage 35mg/L. This is possible because NOM (e.g humic acid) in Water is negatively charged under neutral condition, and hydrolyzates of metal salt coagulants have plenty of positive charge, so a neutralization reaction was occurred easily and quickly between them, forming the precipitates then. This result showed that a correct selection of pH can effectively decrease DOM in water 3. C. Product water quality analysis of coagulation-MF process Raw water, mixed liquor of coagulation and supernatant of coagulation-sedimentation were separately filtrated by MF membrane to compare their removal effect of pollutants with a dosage of 35mg/L FeCl3. It was suggested that over 95% of removal for turbidity can be obtained when raw water was filtrated by MF membrane, but its removal of TOC and UV254 were only 6.82% and 15.56% respectively, which indicated that the removal ability of DOM in raw water for MF was very limited. That is to say, MF can not be considered as the main DOM-removing process because of colloid impurities in raw water, the major factor causing resistance in membrane filtration 4. The study on adsorption-coexistence relationship between organic matters and clay impurities in the water, reported by CH Kim, found that organic matters in raw water captured by MF membrane, most of which are adsorbed by small colloidal particles of clay, and then removed with these particles. So organic matters captured strictly by MF membrane for only a tiny portion of total DOM, in addition, the removal rate of organic pollutants increased by 810%, comparing coagulation effluent water with membrane filtration ones. Consequently, strive to improve the removal efficiency of DOM in raw water, pre-coagulation with membrane filtration technology can be convinced. In that way, coagulation and adsorption act on processing together toward a better performance. D. The influence of coagulation on the filtration performance of membrane 1) Characterization of filtration performance of membrane Constant flux filtration was adopted in the experiment. With continuous running of MF, trans-membrane pressure (TMP) of MF increases gradually. In order to characterize the membrane flux decline rule with extension of running time and membrane flux recovery, analyses are computed between time and flux attenuation ratio, to state as a formula 5:r- Flux attenuation or recovery rate Jq(x)-Flux of fouled or washed membrane Jp(T)-Water flux T-Room temperature 2) The influence of coagulation pretreatment methods on membrane filtration performance Coagulation, coagulation-sedimentation and sand filtration were three types of pretreatment methods of MF in the experiment 6. And filtrates of raw water, supernatant liquid of coagulation-sedimentation, mixed liquor of Coagulation and sand filtration effluent were compared (35mg/L FeCl3 was dosed for coagulation or coagulation-sedimentation pretreatment). A filtration cycle included membrane filtration 60mins and five-minute washing was set. The pressure of washing is 1.2 times greater than that of filtration.PVDF hollow fiber membrane and self-made membrane module in U pattern were adopted. The time-dependent curves of flux attenuation ratio were showed. After 5-cycles filtration, the membrane flux declined rapidly to 36%, and after washing its recovery rate arrived at 52% of the initial flux, which suggested that it was very easy to result in membrane fouling when raw water was directly filtrated. Compared with direct filtration, membrane flux can be obviously increased for other three pretreatment methods, and filtrating mixed liquor was the best, its recovery rate of membrane flux after washing can reach to 81% or more, and the effect of filtrating supernatant liquid was second. The greatest influence on retention of membrane flux was obtained when sand filtration effluent was filtrated. Therefore, the process of coagulation-sand filtration should not be considered as pretreatment of MF, and the others (coagulation pretreatment and coagulation-sedimentation pretreatment) can be chosen according actual situation. CONCLUSION1) In general, the removal performance of pollutants for ferric coagulants was superior to that of aluminium coagulants in the process of Luan water coagulation treatment. The optimal dosage of ferric coagulants was determined to be 35mg/L combining experimental results and economic benefit. For aluminium coagulants PAC has a higher removal ability for pollutants than that of Al2(SO4)3 under the same conditions, which was associated with its own products of hydrolysis, and the conclusion also was consistent with the works of others.2) from the experimental results it can be consluded that the optimal pH of raw water was 7.0 for ferric coagulants and 6.5 for aluminium coagulants with a dosage of 35mg/L. since dosing of ferric coagulants has a great influence on pH of water, the coagulation system still can reach the expected pH standard without additional adjustment under the condition of 35mg/L dosage. 3) Three effluent water qualities of UF membrane filtration: raw water, coagulated water and supernatant liquid are compared, which indicated that effluent turbidity of less than 0.2NTU can be guaranteed because of the excellent retention performance of MF membrane. But removal of dissolved organic pollutants was only 8%-15% after MF filtration, which was lower than that of traditional coagulation process. 4) Coagulation pretreatment can effectively alleviate membrane fouling 7, 8. When FeCl3 coagulation with a dosage of 35mg/L was used to be pretreatment of MF filtration, 80% of membrane flux can be maintained after a filtration cycle, which suggested membrane fouling has been effectively alleviated. Among the three kinds of pretreatment methods, membrane fouling was most serious when MF membrane was used to filtrate sand filtration effluent, and the smallest membrane fouling was obtained when MF membrane was used to filtrate mixed liquor of coagulation.
