Abstract
This study evaluated removal efficiency of virus by coagulation and UF process aimed at water reuse and compared removal efficiencies between bacteriophage MS2 and Qß. From the results of batch experiment, removal of MS2 during coagulation was increased depending on increase of coagulant dose. Removal efficiency of Qß was higher than that of MS2 during coagulation. From the results of pilot plant experiment using coagulation and UF process, removal efficiency of MS2 during coagulation process was increased depending on the coagulant dose increase. The removal efficiency of MS2 was also increased during UF process by the addition of coagulant before UF process. Although removal efficiency of Qß was higher than that of MS2 during coagulation process in the pilot plant experiments, removal efficiency of MS2 was higher during UF process.
