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.

[PMID: 36363612 PMCID: PMC9694401 DOI: 10.3390/membranes12111057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Primary recovery of surfactin from precipitation-pretreated fermentation broths of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 21332 culture by one-stage dead-end and cross-flow ultrafiltration (UF) was studied. Dead-end experiments were first performed to select suitable conditions, including the amount of added ethanol-a micelle-destabilizing solvent (0-70 vol%), type (polyethersulfone, polyacrylonitrile, poly(vinylidene fluoride)) and molecular-weight cut-off (MWCO, 30-100 kDa) of the membrane in the surfactin concentration range of 0.25-1.23 g/L. Then, the cross-flow UF experiments were conducted to check the recovery performance in the ranges of feed surfactin concentration of 1.13-2.67 g/L, flow velocity of 0.025-0.05 m/s, and transmembrane pressure of 40-100 kPa. The Hermia model was also used to clarify membrane fouling mechanisms. Finally, three cleaning agents and two in situ cleaning ways (flush and back-flush) were selected to regain the permeate flux. As for the primary recovery of surfactin from the permeate in cross-flow UF, a polyethersulfone membrane with 100-kDa MWCO was suggested, and the NaOH solution at pH 11 was used for membrane flushing.
