Impact of speciation on removal of manganese and organic matter by nanofiltration

چکیده
The removal of manganese and humic acid (HA) by two nanofiltration membranes, TFC-SR2 and TFC-SR3, was investigated in order to highlight the influence of speciation on manganese and HA retention. Manganese speciation and complexation with HA were modelled to understand how speciation could affect NF removal mechanisms. The behaviour of the two membranes was drastically different for manganese retention. Manganese retention for TFC-SR3 was higher and dominated by size exclusion. Manganese retention for TFC-SR2 varied with pH. At pH 7, i.e. the pH of most natural waters, manganese retention for TFC-SR2 was about 45% versus 90% of TFCSR3, with fluxes of about 75 and 25 L.mh, respectively. Both membranes showed very high retention of HA (about 80%), being therefore suitable for surface waters where no salt removal is required. Manganese deposit on both membranes was generally low (< 10%), but increased at pH 10 and 12 as manganese deposited as precipitated MnCO3, and the membranes showed a yellowbrownish layer.

Surface water and groundwater sources for human supply require treatment to remove substances that can cause human diseases and rejection. Aquatic humic substances, such as iron and manganese, interfere with the aesthetic and sanitary quality of the water because they cause color, odor and taste unpleasant. In addition, humic substances can form trihalomethanes which are serious harmful substan...
