Abstract: | Submerged-membrane hybrid systems (SMHSs) that combine membrane filtration with powdered activated carbon (PAC) take advantage of PAC’s ability to adsorb and remove contaminants dissolved in water. However, the risk of contaminant desorption due to temporal changes in the influent concentration of the contaminant has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we used a SMHS with conventionally-sized PAC or superfine PAC (SPAC) to remove 2(MIB), a representative micropollutant, from water containing natural organic matter (NOM), with-methylisoborneol the goal of elucidating adsorption–desorption phenomena in the SMHS. We found that 20–40% of the MIB that adsorbed on PAC and SPAC while the influent was contaminated with MIB (6 h, contamination period) desorbed to the liquid phase within 6 h from the time that the MIB-containing influent was replaced by MIB-free influent (no-contamination period). The percentage of desorption during the no-contamination period increased with increasing MIB breakthrough concentration during the contamination period. These findings indicate that the PAC/SPAC in the SMHS should be replaced while the breakthrough concentration is low, not only to keep a high removal rate but also to decrease the desorption risk. SPAC is fast in removal by adsorption, but it is also fast in release by desorption. SPAC (median diameter: 0.94 μm) showed almost the same adsorption-desorption kinetics as PAC (12.1 μm) of a double dose. A two-component branched-pore diffusion model combined with an IAST (ideal adsorbed solution theory)–Freundlich isotherm was used to describe and analyze the adsorption–desorption of MIB. The diffusivity of MIB molecules in the pores of the activated carbon particles decreased markedly in a short period of time. This decrease, which was attributed to fouling of the activated carbon in the SMHS by coagulant-treated water containing NOM, not only reduced the rate of MIB removal during the contamination period but also hindered the rate of MIB desorption during the no-contamination period and thus prevented the effluent MIB concentration from becoming high. On the other hand, coagulation did not change the concentration of NOM that competes with MIB for adsorption sites. |
