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

在澳大利亚，淡水日益稀缺，废水再利用正在被倡导为既满足我们的需求又保护环境的一种战略。本研究将测试磁性离子交换(MIEX)工艺作为膜-絮凝复合系统(MFHS)的前处理工艺。MIEX将去除中小分子量有机物，并将膜污染降至最低。MFHS可去除大分子有机物、悬浮物和微生物。这项研究将开创一种用于生活污水处理和回用的新型混合系统，用于非饮用水目的，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.
