Abstract

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex organic compound that have been exist in water sources. The presence of NOM in water, especially the aromatic compound, could trigger the formation of disinfectant by-products (DBPs). Low molecular weight of NOM, one of the characterisctic of organic based on their molecular weight, is quite difficult to be removed in coagulation process. Preoxidation is one the effort to reduce carbon structure of organic matter and it has been known as pretreatment before coagulation process and advanced ones. The objective of this research is to track the changing of low molecular weight of NOM through preoxidation with pottasium permanganaate (KMnO4). Low molecular weight of NOM is presented by synapic acid. Detection of NOM properties was observed quantitatively by using total organic carbon (TOC) and qualitatively by using fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The results shown that KMnO4 could increase the concentration of TOC. According to FTIR analysis, the increasing of TOC concentration is proably due to the transformation of low organic matter into lower organic compound. FTIR showed the increasing of % transmitance of all functional groups of organic matter.

Abstract

Industrial wastewater treatment has been facing in high concentration of pollutant issues. One of the parameters issues is fat, oil, and grease (FOG) concentration. These parameters is needed to be considered since it will affect biological processes. Floatation is widely used processes in removing fat, oil, and grease in wastewater treatment processes. Recently, high concentration of oil, fat, and grease instead of suspended solid could decrease the performance of floatation. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance floatation performance. The objective of this research is to enhance floatation performance through coagulation by using various coagulant. Alum, FeCl3, and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) under various dosage was used as coagulant before flotation processes. The results shown that 20 mg/L PAC has high performance in removing FOG 230 mg/L into 20 mg/L or 91.3% FOG removal, and COD 1152 mg/L was treated into 230 mg/L or 80% COD removal.
