Abstract

This study investigates the performance of ultrafiltration (UF) by membranes coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst under ultraviolet (UV) illumination in removing natural organic matter (NOM) and possibly in reducing membrane fouling. Experiments were carried out using heat-resistant ceramic disc UF membranes and humic acids as model substances representing naturally occurring organic matter. Membrane sizes of 1, 15, and 50 kDa were used to examine the effects of coating under ultraviolet irradiation. A commercial humic solution was subjected to UF fractionation (batch process); gel filtration chromatography was applied to study the effects of molecular weight distribution of NOM on UF membrane fouling. When compared to naked membranes, UV254 (ultraviolet light of λ=254 nm) illumination of TiO2-coated membranes exhibits more flux decline with similar effluent quality. Although the UF membrane is able to remove a significant amount of humic materials, the incorporated photocatalysis results in poor performance in terms of permeate flux. The TiO2-coated membrane under UV254 irradiation alters the molecular weight (MW) distribution of humic materials, reducing them to <1 kDa, which is smaller than the smallest (1-kDa) membrane in this study. Thus, TiO2-coated membranes under UV254 irradiation do not perform any better in removing natural organic matter and reducing membrane fouling.

mmmh..menarik...menarik
tapi gak ngaruh ya meski di lapis ama Ti02...
Kalo yang saya tahu ...untuk menghilangkan NOM bisa dengan fotofenton, UV+ozon atau advanced oxidation.
bisa tereduksi ampe 98% loh NOM nya..
peralatan tidak terlalu njlimet n mahal....

adjie

Ya, tidak terlalu berpengaruh dilihat dari sisi properti humic acidnya yah.. Tp kalo pertanyaannya removal performance, sedikit ada perbaikan, walau tidak signifikan.

Hasil SEM-nya bagus.....
Perasaan aq pernah download journal ini dr sciencedirect
