Application of the MIEXR DOC process to membrane hybrid systems for water reuse

在澳大利亚，淡水越来越稀缺，废水再利用被提倡为一种既满足我们的需求又保护环境的战略。本研究将测试磁离子交换（MIEX）工艺作为膜-絮凝混合体系（MFHS）的预处理。MIEX将去除中小分子量的有机物，并最大限度地减少膜污染。MFHS可以去除大分子量有机物、悬浮物和微生物。本研究将开创一种新型混合系统，用于非饮用目的的生活污水处理和再利用，并为博士生提供高质量的研究培训。

Fresh water is increasingly scarce in Australia and wastewater reuse is being advocated as a strategy for both meeting our needs and protecting the environment. This research will test the magnetic ion exchange (MIEX) process as a pretreatment for a membrane-flocculation hybrid system (MFHS). MIEX will remove small and medium molecular weight organics and minimize membrane fouling. Large molecular weight organics, suspended solids and micro-organisms will be removed by MFHS. This research will pioneer a novel hybrid system for treatment and reuse of domestic wastewater for non-drinking purposes and provide high quality research training of a doctoral student.
