JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 365:121525. [PMID: 38897085 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121525] [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: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
As an important part of the membrane field, hollow fiber membranes (HFM) have been widely concerned by scholars. HFM fouling in the industrial application results in a reduction in its lifespan and an increase in cost. In recent years, various explorations on the HFM fouling control strategies have been carried out. In the current work, we critically review the influence of flow field characteristics in HFM-based bioreactor on membrane fouling control. The flow field characteristics mainly refer to the spatial and temporal variation of the related physical parameters. In the HFM field, the physical parameter mainly refers to the variation characteristics of the shear force, flow velocity and turbulence caused by hydraulics. The factors affecting the flow field characteristics will be discussed from three levels: the micro-flow field near the interface of membrane (micro-interface), the flow field around the membrane module and the reactor design related to flow field, which involves surface morphology, crossflow, aeration, fiber packing density, membrane vibration, structural design and other related parameters. The study of flow field characteristics and influencing factors in the HFM separation process will help to improve the performance of HFM in full-scale water treatment plants.

Abstract
Sea water desalination is regarded as a major solution that could alleviate the water scarcity problem. Reverse osmosis (RO) is typically employed to recover fresh water from sea and brackish water via economical means. RO membrane fouling remains a critical issue restricting their widespread application. In this work, a tertiary thiophenal quaternary ammonium salt-based antibacterial agent was covalently reacted with cellulose acetate (CA) to obtain contact-active antibacterial quaternized CA-RO membrane (QCA-RO). The membrane was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle testing, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. The obtained QCA-RO membrane displayed good antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and had bactericidal rates of 99 % in the presence of visible light. Results showed that embedding the quaternary ammonium salt did not cause any significant changes to the morphology, mechanical performance, and thermal stability of the RO membrane. The method described in this work not only produces QCA-RO membranes with good anti-biofilm performance but also presents great potential in seawater desalination.

Abstract
Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane materials play a key role in determining energy consumption. Currently, CTA is regarded as having one of the highest degrees of chlorine resistance among materials in the RO process. The hollow fiber membrane has the advantages of a large membrane surface area and a preparation process without any redundant processes. Herein, response surface methodology with Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was applied for optimizing the preparation conditions of the cellulose triacetate (CTA) hollow fiber RO membrane. There were four preparation parameters, including solid content, spinning temperature, post-treatment temperature, and post-treatment time, which could affect the permeability of the membrane significantly. In this study, the interaction between preparation parameters and permeability (permeate flux and salt rejection) was evaluated by regression equations. Regression equations can be applied to obtain the optimized preparation parameters of hollow fiber RO membranes and reasonably predict and optimize the permeability of the RO membranes. Finally, the optimized preparation conditions were solid content (44%), spinning temperature (167 °C), post-treatment temperature (79 °C), and post-treatment time (23 min), leading to a permeability of 12.029 (L·m-2·h-1) and salt rejection of 90.132%. This study of reinforced that CTA hollow fiber membrane may promote the transformation of the RO membrane industry.

Abstract
Biological ion channels existing in organisms are critical for many biological processes. Inspired by biological ion channels, the heterogeneous electrospinning nanofiber membranes (HENM) with functional ion channels are constructed by electrospinning technology. The HENM successfully realizes ion-gating effects, which can be used for tunable energy conversions. Introduction of pyridine and carboxylic acid groups into the HENM plays an important role in generating unique and stable ion transport behaviors, in which gates become alternative states of open and close, responding to symmetric/asymmetric pH stimulations. Then we used the HENM to convert osmotic energy into electric energy which reach a maximum value up to 12.34 W m-2 and the output power density of HENM-based system could be regulated by ion-gating effects. The properties of the HENM provide widespread potentials in application of smart nanofluidic devices, energy conversion, and water treatment.

Abstract
The aggravation of environmental problems such as water scarcity and air pollution has called upon the need for a sustainable solution globally. Membrane technology, owing to its simplicity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness, has emerged as one of the favorable technologies for water and air purification. Among all of the membrane configurations, hollow fiber membranes hold promise due to their outstanding packing density and ease of module assembly. Herein, this review systematically outlines the fundamentals of hollow fiber membranes, which comprise the structural analyses and phase inversion mechanism. Furthermore, illustrations of the latest advances in the fabrication of organic, inorganic, and composite hollow fiber membranes are presented. Key findings on the utilization of hollow fiber membranes in microfiltration (MF), nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO), pervaporation, gas and vapor separation, membrane distillation, and membrane contactor are also reported. Moreover, the applications in nuclear waste treatment and biomedical fields such as hemodialysis and drug delivery are emphasized. Subsequently, the emerging R&D areas, precisely on green fabrication and modification techniques as well as sustainable materials for hollow fiber membranes, are highlighted. Last but not least, this review offers invigorating perspectives on the future directions for the design of next-generation hollow fiber membranes for various applications. As such, the comprehensive and critical insights gained in this review are anticipated to provide a new research doorway to stimulate the future development and optimization of hollow fiber membranes.
