Removal Performance of Phosphate and Natural Organic Matter Using Nanofiltration Membrane
Keywords:
Nanofiltration Membrane, Phosphate, Natural Organic Matter, Flux declineAbstract
The objective of this research was to determine the removal performance of phosphate and natural organic matter (NOM) using nanofiltration membrane. The commercial membrane sheets used were obtained from GE Water & Process Technologies (model HL4040HM). The filtration experiments were tested under a dead-end filtration test cell. Phosphates applied in this research were disodium hydrogen phosphate and monopotassium phosphate. Water samples were prepared with NOM concentration of 10 mg/L, ionic strength of 0.01 M, and pH solution of 7.04, while the membrane pressure was operated at 60 psig. Experimental results found that the different phosphates in 10-mg/L solution provided similar flux declines. Combined phosphate and NOM solutions showed greater flux decline than those of phosphate solutions alone. The permeability (Lpo) of nanofiltration membrane prior to use was 0.378 LMH.psig-1. The membrane permeabilities (Lp) after used with acetic acid and NaOH cleaning were 0.312 LMH.psig-1 and 0.357 LMH.psig-1. This corresponded the ratio of membrane permeability (Lp/Lpo) about 82.5% and 94.4%, respectively.
