Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of powered activated carbon (PAC) addition on algal water treatment by immerged ultrafiltration (UF) membrane, in terms of trans-membrane pressure (TMP) and permeate quality. Experiments were performed with a hollow-fibre polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ultrafiltration membrane at a laboratory scale, based on a time sequence of 120min filtration and Imin backwashing as a flux of 10L/(m2·h). UF achieved an absolute removal of M. aeruginosa cells, but poorly removed algal extracellular products resulting in severe membrane fouling. PAC addition with 4 g/L in the reactor controlled the increasing of TMP and enhanced the removal of DOC, UV254, as well as microsystins-LR, but could not efficiently improve the rejection of carbohydrates and proteins. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was also employed to investigate the PAC effect on membrane fouling.
