  A hybrid treatment combining the adsorption by PAC with Ultrafiltration (PAC-UF) was applied to the color removal from Acid Orange 7 (AO7) aqueous solutions. The effect of different parameters on color removal and permeate flux evolution such as dose of PAC, pH, TMP and adding of surfactants, was studied. The best operating conditions for a total removal of color were 3 bar TMP, 5 pH, and dose of PAC beyond 150 mg/L in presence of cationic surfactant. A constant permeate flux was observed for all the tests. The evolution of the permeate flux with time can revealed the formation of a PAC-dyes layer due to the retention of these particles by UF membrane. The AO7 not adsorbed by PAC cannot be removed by UF alone. The application of hybrid treatment reduced the UF membrane fouling and the dose of PAC. Permeate flux was then increased from 340 L/h.m� (only UF) to 480 L/h.m� (PAC-UF) and PAC d.. View More»
