Abstract:To tackle the crisis between water shortage and rapid development of aquaculture water demand, a shortened process of electro-flocculation coupled with ceramic membrane ultrafiltration was developed to treat roofing rainwater for aquaculture water reuse. Firstly, the operational parameters of the coupling process were optimized when treating the synthetic roofing rainwater. Then, based on the optimized conditions, the water purification efficiency and the membrane fouling characteristics of the coupling process were systematically explored when treating the actual rainwater. The result showed that electro-flocculation combined ceramic ultrafiltration process exhibited a high removal efficiency for particles, dissolved organic matter (DOM), total phosphorus, microorganism and so on, and the effluent could meet the aquaculture water quality requirements of “Pollution-free food: freshwater aquaculture water quality” (NY 5051-2001) (i.e., coliform was not detected, Zn<4.61 μg·L?1, Cu<4.31 μg·L?1). With the increase of current density (2.63×10?3~7.89×10?3 A·cm?2), electro-flocculation could increase the particle size of flocs(39~103 μm) in influent prior to membrane, and ceramic membrane fouling was gradually alleviated; Additionally, during a long-term operation of this coupling process, electro-flocculation could relieve irreversible membrane fouling. This study will provide a theoretical guidance and technical support for aquaculture water reuse from roofing rainwater. Key words:electro-flocculation/ ceramic membrane/ roofing rainwater/ aquaculture water/ membrane fouling.
