Abstract
This work was studied to determine the flux decline during nanofiltration of iron and deionised water. The rejection characteristic of iron was also studied. A stirred-cell was used for the experiment and Inductively Coupled plasma optical emission was used for iron analysis at various pH and pressure. The significant increased in flux declined at pH 3.01 and 3.44 is possibly caused by crystallized solids formed at the surface of the membrane and thus lead to the reduction of iron rejection at pH 3.01 and 3.44. At higher pressure more water passes through the membrane, thereby increasing the iron rejection. Experiment of clean water flux was done using the deionised water after the different pH experiment to see if the membrane is not fouling. The rejection characteristic of iron was also studied.
