Novel Multi-Channel Coated Silica Based Membranes Applied for Peat Water Ultrafiltration

South Kalimantan-Indonesia is in the Southern part of Borneo which almost half population lives remote areas. Geographically, people are isolated and have poor access to electricity as well a clean water supply. It very essential ensure availability produced from peat overcome future shortages. This work performs fabrication multi-channel silica-based membranes applied for ultrafiltration demonstrated under various transmembrane pressure (TMP) top layer types. The silica based were fabricated three different sources (silica-pectin, organosilica, pure silica) via dipcoating method onto macroporous alumina support (4 bore). Peat was treated by through process cross flow system. According results, all multiples pore size obtained with range 2.1 6 nm classified mesoporous membranes. exhibited promising outcome removal natural organic matter (NOM) about 89-71% (UV254 rejection) at TMP 1-3 bar, respectively. Besides that, normalized permeate fluxes that membrane excellently stable over 180 min operation time. concluded multichannel either compatible treat has high number NOM excellent fouling.
