Abstract
Nanofiltration (NF) of waste water originated from nanofiltration drinking
water plant stationed in town of Kikinda (Northern Serbia) was investigated.
Experiments on removal characteristics of nanofiltration membranes when
exposed to influent rich in arsenic and natural organic matter under
different flux and transmembrane pressure (TMP) conditions were conducted in
order to obtain drinking water from waste water and reduce total amount of
waste water. Applied NF membranes showed remarkable removal characteristic.
Also, obtained result for concentrate yield, an indicator of reduced
concentrate amount, of 8.89% under optimum flux value presents considerable
amount of reclamated drinking water. Calculated empirical and theoretical
concentration factors quotients were indicated to probable accumulation of
some inlet water components at NF membrane surface. Based on the obtained
results that nanofiltration membranes remove natural organic matter, arsenic,
ammonia and sodium with high efficiencies of 98%, 96%, 80% and 93%
respectively, conceptual design of drinking water plant for City of Kikinda
was defined and presented.
