Abstract:Through ozone pre-oxidation to degrade dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water, the efficiency of pre-ozonation for dissolved organic matter (DOM) removal and membrane fouling control were studied, and the variations in the UV-vis spectra of the treated water were analyzed. Furthermore, a multi-objective optimization model was proposed for identifying the optimal ozone doses for pre-oxidation. The results showed that pre-ozonation could transform aromatic DOM with medium molecular weight into small organics, the corresponding UV254 removal efficiencies could not exceed 90.34%, which significantly changed the spectral characteristics of the feedwater to the membrane filter. Moreover, pre-ozonation noticeably mitigated membrane fouling by DOM, and the fouling index (FI) decreased by no higher than 51.49%. Accordingly, the simplified multi-objective optimization model was developed to identify suitable ozone dosing for the integrated ozonation pre-oxidation -microfiltration process. Different weights were assigned to three objective factors, i.e., SUVA254, FI, and ozone utilization ratio through the analytic hierarchy process, to account for the diverse needs of drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). To further simplify instrumental requirements, SUVA254 used in the model may be replaced with the spectral slope parameters, especially S275~295 (R2=0.979 7), and FI may be replaced with UV254 (R2=0.879 9). These findings provided useful guidance for DWTPs to optimize ozone dosage, comprehensively improve DOM removal, mitigate membrane fouling, and reduce operational costs. Key words:dissolved organic matter/ membrane fouling/ ozone dosing/ pre-oxidation/ spectral slope.
