The most common coagulants used during the coagulation–flocculation process are hydrolyzing metal salts of aluminum and iron such as AlCl 3, Al 2 (SO 4) 3, FeCl 3, and Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 [9], [10]. Their major drawbacks are that the coagulant species form rapidly during dilution, and the formation of hydrolysis species cannot be controlled.

Also, the iron and aluminum hydroxide flocs increase volume requirements for the disposal of settled sludge. With aluminum sulfate, optimum coagulation efficiency and minimum floc solubility normally occur at pH 6.0 to 7.0. Iron coagulants can be used successfully over the much broader pH range of 5.0 to 11.0.

In the present study, the required dosage for 90% MP removal at pH 7.3 was 0.37 mmol/L for iron and 0.16 mmol/L for aluminum. Perren et al. (2018) also reported a high removal of 99.2% with electrocoagulation with iron electrodes (pH 7.5), but their study was conducted with relatively large PE MPs over 300 µm in diameter.


NF membrane fouling by aluminum and iron coagulant …

Mean iron concentrations in the NF feed after the ferric chloride coagulation and MF pretreatments in Runs 4 and 5 were 10 and 18 μg/L, respectively, and the aluminum concentration in the NF feeds was less than 2 μg/L. The percentage rejection of iron by NF was 60–90%, which was not as high as that of aluminum.
