Processing Coal Mine Acidic Water Using Nanofiltration Membrane in West Aceh

Abstract

Acidic water from the coal of mining pool has been polluted from the surrounding coal stockpile stocpile industry. Water quality in mining ponds can threaten the biota in it. During this time, coal mining pool the local community uses water extensively for everyday requirements like drinking, washing, and bathing. More than time it turns out that coal mine acidic water has been polluted. This problem needs to be sought a solution, one of which is required treatment technology for creating water quality that satisfies requirements for drinking water quality. This research tries to use NF270 membrane type Nanofiltration membrane technology to eliminate COD, TSS, TDS, and metal parameters (Fe, Mn). This research was conducted by analyzing the influence pressure (4, 5, and 6 bar) on each component's rejection rate and flux each parameter. The results of the study show the processed results as follows;
