Wang Z, Zhang CM, Li YF. Influence of suspended particles and dissolved organic matters on virus enrichment in reclaimed water by two-step tangential flow ultrafiltration: Phenomena and mechanisms. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 472:134494. [PMID: 38703688 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Enteric virus concentration in large-volume water samples is crucial for detection and essential for assessing water safety. Certain dissolution and suspension components can affect the enrichment process. In this study, tangential flow ultrafiltration (TFUF) was used as an enrichment method for recovering enteric virus in water samples. Interestingly, the bacteriophage MS2 recovery in reclaimed water and the reclaimed water without particles were higher than that in ultrapure water. The simulated reclaimed water experiments showed that humic acid (HA) (92.16% ± 4.32%) and tryptophan (Try) (81.50 ± 7.71%) enhanced MS2 recovery, while the presence of kaolin (Kaolin) inhibited MS2 recovery with an efficiency of 63.13% ± 11.17%. Furthermore, Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the MS2-HA cluster and the MS2-Try cluster had larger roughness values on the membrane surface, making it difficult to be eluted, whereas MS2-Kaolin cluster had compact surfaces making it difficult to be eluted. Additionally, the MS2-HA cluster is bound to the membrane by single hydrogen bond with SO, whereas both the MS2-Try cluster and the MS2-Kaolin cluster are bound to the membrane by two hydrogen bonds, making eluting MS2 challenging. These findings have potential implications for validating standardized methods for virus enrichment in water samples.

Mohamat R, Bakar SA, Mohamed A, Muqoyyanah M, Othman MHD, Mamat MH, Malek MF, Ahmad MK, Yulkifli Y, Ramakrishna S. Incorporation of graphene oxide/titanium dioxide with different polymer materials and its effects on methylene blue dye rejection and antifouling ability. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-27207-7. [PMID: 37170051 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-27207-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Exposure of synthetic dye, such as methylene blue (MB), in water bodies led to a serious threat to living things because they are toxic and non-degradable. Amongst the introduced dye removal methods, membrane separation process can be considered a powerful technique for treating dye contamination. However, this method commonly suffered from drawbacks, such as short membrane lifetime, low permeability and selectivity. To overcome these issues, graphene oxide (GO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) were used as additives to fabricate polyethersulfone (PES)- and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based hybrid membranes via non-solvent-induced phase separation method. Prior to membrane fabrication, GO was synthesised via electrochemical exfoliation method assisted by customised triple-tail surfactant. The potential of PES- and PVDF-based hybrid membranes for wastewater treatment has been discussed widely. However, direct comparison between these two polymeric membranes is not critically discussed for MB dye separation application yet. Therefore, this study is aimed at evaluating the performance of different types of polymers (e.g. PES and PVDF) in terms of membrane morphology, properties, dye rejection and antifouling ability. Results showed that the incorporation of GO and TiO2 alters the morphology of the fabricated membranes and affects dye rejection further, as well as their antifouling performance. In contrast with pristine membrane, PES-GO/TiO2 and PVDF-GO/TiO2 possessed high hydrophilicity, as indicated by their low contact angle (67.38° and 62.12°, respectively). Based on this study, PVDF-GO/TiO2 showed higher porosity value (94.88%), permeability (87.32 L/m2hMPa) and MB rejection rate (92.63%), as well as flux recovery ratio value of > 100% as compared with others. Overall, the incorporation of GO and TiO2 with PVDF polymer are proven to be effective hybrid materials of membrane fabrication for dye rejection application in the near future. The polymer material's intrinsic properties can affect the attributes of the fabricated membrane.

Abstract
Microorganic pollutants (MOPs) in aquatic environment with low levels but high toxicity are harmful to ecosystem and human health. Fe(VI) has a dual-functional role in oxidation and coagulation, and can effectively remove MOPs, heavy metal, phosphate, particulates and colloids. Moreover, Fe(VI) can combine with traditional coagulants, or use as a pretreatment for membrane treatment because of its characters to generate nanoparticles by degradation in water. Based on the relevant toxicity experiments, Fe(VI) had been proved to be safe for the efficient treatment of MOPs. For better utilization of Fe(VI), its oxidation and coagulation mechanisms are summarized, and the knowledge about the control parameters, utilization methods, and toxicity effect for Fe(VI) application are reviewed in this paper. pH, different valences of iron, environmental substances, and other parameters are summarized in this study to clarify the important factors in the treatment of MOPs with Fe(VI). In the future study, aiming at cost reduction in Fe(VI) preparation, transportation and storage, enhancement of oxidation in the intermediate state, and better understanding the mechanism between interface and Fe(VI) oxidation will help promote the application of Fe(VI) in the removal of MOPs. This study offers guidelines for the application and development of Fe(VI) for the treatment of MOPs in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Low pressure membrane (LPM) filtration is a promising technology for drinking water production, wastewater reclamation as well as pretreatment for seawater desalination. However, wider implementation of LPM is restricted by their inherent drawbacks, i.e., membrane fouling and insufficient rejection for dissolved contaminants. Pretreatment of feed water is a major method to improve the performance of LPM, and pre-oxidation has gained extensive attention because it can significantly alter compositions and properties of feed water through chemical reactions. This paper attempts to systematically review efficiency and mechanisms of pre-oxidation in membrane fouling control and permeate water quality improvement. On the basis of briefly discussing major foulants and fouling mechanisms of LPM, advantages and disadvantages of pre-oxidation in mitigating organic fouling, inorganic fouling and biofouling are discussed in detail. Impacts of pre-oxidation on removal of micropollutants, bulk organic matter and inorganic pollutants are summarized, and potential by-products of different oxidants are presented. As a prerequisite for the integration of chemical oxidation with LPM filtration, compatibility of membrane with oxidants at low concentration and long exposure time are highlighted. Finally, the existing challenges and future research needs in practical application of chemical oxidation to improve performance of LPM are also discussed.
