Nanofiltration in Wastewater treatment for Reuse: Effect of Pretreatment for Long-term Application

低压纳滤是一项较新的技术。通过预处理可以有效地避免纳滤膜污染的主要问题。在本研究中，将研究采用絮凝和生物吸附概念的新型高速率预处理方法来延长膜的寿命。通过这项研究建立的紧凑型废水处理技术将对小型和孤立的社区有用。这项研究将与日本东京大学（UTokyo）的山本教授和韩国光州科学技术研究所（KJIST）的金教授合作进行，他们分别是纳滤和水再利用技术的国际专家。

Low pressure nanofiltration (NF) is a relatively new technology. The main problem of membrane fouling on NF could successfully be avoided by pretreatment. In this study, novel high rate pretreatment methods employing flocculation and biosorption concepts will be investigated to prolong membrane life time. A compact wastewater treatment technology established through this research will be useful in small and isolated communities. This study will be conducted in collaboration with Prof. Yamamoto of University of Tokyo (UTokyo), Japan and Prof. Kim of Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology (KJIST), Korea, who are international experts on nanofiltration and water reuse technologies respectively.
