in this study, nf membrane was used for surface water treatment. the rejection of organic material, measured as total organic carbon (toc), by nanofiltration was examined. the effects of application of pre-ozonation and pre-chlorination on toc removal are discussed and their performances are compared with the performances of nanofiltraion system without pretreatment process. in nf, natural orga...

the removal of organic precursors of disinfection by-products (dbps), i.e. natural organic matter (nom), prior to disinfection is considered as the most effective approach to minimise the formation of dbps. trihalomethanes (thms) as the main group of dbps are categorized and considered to have the potentiality of increasing the rate of liver, kidney and cns adverse effects. this study which pre...

enhanced coagulation (ec) is defined as the addition of excess coagulation to improve the removal of disinfection by-product (dbps) precursors through the use of conventional water treatment processes. in this research, most of coagulants of ferric chloride (fecl3), poly aluminum chloride(pacl) in removal of most parameters of total organic carbon (toc), dissolved organic carbon (doc), organic ...

Several samples of activated carbon were prepared by physical (CO₂) and chemical (H₃PO₄) activation of aspen wood and tested for the adsorption of organic compounds from water generated during the recovery of bitumen using steam assisted gravity drainage. Total organic carbon removal by the carbon samples increased proportionally with total pore volume as determined from N₂ adsorption isotherms...

River bank filtratio filtration (RBF) is one of the novel water abstraction alternatives to tackle poor water quality problem in Malaysia. This study was conducted to investigate the potential use of zeolite and activated carbon as filter media in the laboratory RBF system. Characteristics of the materials were first determined using the surface analyzer and X-ray fluorescence method. Filter co...

This study is to investigate on the long term performance of submerged membrane adsorption hybrid system (SMAHS) for organic matter removal from synthetic wastewater representative of biologically treated wastewater using low dose of powder activated carbon (PAC). A simple periodic backwash system is used to declog the hollow fiber membrane. In this reactor, bioreaction takes place due to the g...
