    Abstract:
    This study systematically determined the optimal dosage ratio and the viscosity (η) of co-coagulants, polyaluminum chloride (PAC) and poly dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDMDAAC), on coagulation performance and membrane fouling in a hybrid coagulation-ultrafiltration (C-UF) process for natural organic matter (NOM) removal. Floc characteristics-including floc size, fractal dimension, strength and re-growth ability-were studied with respect to coagulant-dosing operations. Membrane fouling was evaluated in association with assessment of NOM removal performance by the hybrid process. The best coagulation performance was achieved when PAC and PDMDAAC were dosed with 1.0 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L, respectively. The addition of PDMDAAC could enhance the NOM removal efficiency, especially at low PAC dosages. Co-coagulants PAC/PDMDAAC (ηPDMDAAC = 2.18 dL/g) resulted in formation of the largest flocs with the smallest Df under all shear conditions, while the flocs formed by PAC/PDMDAAC (ηPDMDAAC = 1.86 dL/g) had higher recovery abilities. The results from ultrafiltration experiments indicated that coagulation using PAC/PDMDAAC with a viscosity range from 0.99 dL/g to 1.86 dL/g can significantly reduce membrane fouling, leading to increasing water fluxes from 0.1170 to 0.4906 in the ultrafiltration process.
