Abstract
A pilot-scale ultrafiltration membrane plant was set up for treating Luanhe River water with flocculating and precipitation process of waterworks. The aim is to investigate the variation and characteristics of natural organic matter and disinfection byproducts formation potential in the whole process in winter. The results show that dissolved organic matter (DOM), UV254, trihalomethanes formation potential (THMsFP) and haloacetic acids formation potential (HAAsFP) of Luanhe River water were mainly distributed in the range of molecular weight (MW) 30 kDa and MW<1 kDa. It is the DOM in water backwashing in up way that made significant contribution to the higher dissolved organic carbon content in membrane backwash water. However, UV254, THMsFP and HAAsFP were mainly distributed in the range of MW<1 kDa. The highest concentrations of specific THMsFP and specific HAAsFP appeared in the MW fraction of 3–10 kDa. CHCl3 was the major THMs species during MBW chlorination and occupied more than 60% of the total THMsFP. Dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid were the main components in HAAsFP. The concentration of THMsFP and HAAsFP in MBW was influenced by operation period.
