Single Vs Multichannel Silica-Pectin Ultrafiltration Membranes for Treatment of Natural Peat Water

A comparative study was undertaken to investigate the potential of silica-pectin ultrafiltration membrane on varied operation pressure (0.1-0.3 MPa). Cross-flow works were explored with tubular alumina substrates in single and multichannel configuration. The sol prepared from TEOS as silica precursor by sol-gel method, afterward pectin templated into induce carbon it. Thereafter, both coated via inner coating technique. exhibited better performance (with 4 bores) compared channel terms permeate quality UV254 rejection, well flux. rejection membranes conducted over 84% compliance highest fluxes 234.3 L.m-2.h-1.bar-1 at high (TMP 0.3 flux this work is slightly 60-75% channel. Hence, steady neutralized under TMP MPa conditions for natural 100% peat water concentration, which indicates that fouling not occurred during filtration time up 60 min. Therefore, success treatment water, organic matter removal found be fit uses clean sources.
