| description | River pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems and human health, underscoring the need for effective and scalable treatment methods. A recent pilot-scale study has refined a hybrid membrane photocatalytic reactor (MPR) incorporating ZnO-Kaolin photocatalyst to treat Sembrong river water. The ZnO-Kaolin was characterized using multiple analytical techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the wurtzite phase of ZnO and the anorthic structure of kaolinite, with a crystallite size of 40 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed Zn O stretching vibrations alongside the characteristic Si-O-Al and Si-O-Si bonds of kaolin. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) demonstrated a uniform distribution of 50 nm ZnO nanoparticles on the kaolin surface, while optical band gap analysis showed a value of 3.25 eV, indicating favorable photocatalytic activity for ZnO-Kaolin. Optimal conditions for pollutant removal were established, with a photocatalyst loading of 0.05 g/L of ZnO-Kaolin, a membrane pressure of 0.5 bars, and 225 watts of UV light leading to significant pollutants removal, 86 % for ammoniacal nitrogen, 92 % for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 85 % for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and 99 % for suspended solids. The hybrid system also reduced flux decline by 18 %, improving ultrafiltration membrane efficiency. Additionally, the pH and dissolved oxygen of the treated water increased to 6.0 and 6.3 mg/L, respectively, elevating the Water Quality Index (WQI) to 87.17, corresponding with Class II standards. These results suggest that the hybrid MPR could be an effective option for sustainable large-scale river water treatment. |
