BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 406:130957. [PMID: 38876283 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130957] [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: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
The osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) is a novel wastewater treatment and resource recovery technology combining forward osmosis (FO) and membrane bioreactor. It has attracted attention for its low energy consumption and high contaminant removal performance. However, in the long-term operation, OMBR faces the problem of salt accumulation due to high salt rejection and reverse salt flux, which affects microbial activity and contaminants removal efficiency. This review analyzed the feasibility of screening salt-tolerant microorganisms and determining salinity thresholds to improve the salt tolerance of OMBR. Combined with recent research, the inhibition strategies for salt accumulation were reviewed, including the draw solution, FO membrane, operating conditions and coupling with other systems. It is hoped to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the further development of OMBR. Finally, future research directions were prospected. This review provides new insights for achieving stable operation of OMBR and promotes its wide application.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 360:142439. [PMID: 38797201 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142439] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
This work proposes an innovative approach for the membrane separation of spent and unspent H2S scavengers (SUS) derived from the application of MEA-triazine in offshore oil and gas production. Modified nanofiltration membranes were fabricated by incorporating graphene oxide (GO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) into a thin film composite (TFC) to obtain a thin film nanocomposite (TFN) with enhanced permeability. In addition, various immobilization strategies for GO were investigated. The performance of the membranes and the effect of the GO loading were evaluated in terms of permeability, fouling propensity, and rejection of key components of the SUS, i.e., MEA-triazine (unspent scavenger), dithiazine (spent scavenger), and monoethanolamine, operating on a sample of SUS wastewater obtained from an offshore oil and gas platform. Various characterization techniques, such as contact angle, FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA, and AFM, were employed to evaluate the structure, composition, and hydrophilicity of the membrane. The results show a remarkable increase in permeability (from 0.22 Lm-2 h-1 bar-1 for the TFC to 5.8 Lm-2 h-1 bar-1 for the TFN membranes), due to the enhanced hydrophilicity from GO incorporation. The strong interfacial interaction between GO and PVA within the TFN membrane results in negligible nanofiller leaching. The incorporation of GO moderately increases the rejection of the unspent scavenger (63%-73%, 62%-79%, 62%-80%, and 68%-76%), while drastically increasing the rejection of the spent scavenger, which is approximately null for the TFC membrane without GO and increases up to 58% in the TFN membrane with GO. Therefore, while the proposed membranes cannot be used for the selective separation of the unspent form the spent scavenger, they can achieve substantial recovery of all the key components contained in the SUS to avoid their discharge into the sea.

Enhanced membrane fouling by microplastics during nanofiltration of secondary effluent considering secretion, interaction and deposition of extracellular polymeric substances. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167110. [PMID: 37739085 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167110] [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: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Microplastic (MP) has been found to influence membrane fouling during microfiltration/ultrafiltration processes in direct and indirect ways by acting as fouling components and changing microbial activities, respectively. However, there is no relevant research about the contribution of MPs to nanofiltration membrane fouling. In this study, for the first time, the impacts of MPs on membrane fouling during the nanofiltration of secondary effluent (SE) were systematically investigated from the perspective of bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secretion, their interaction with coexisting pollutants and also deposition. Membrane flux behaviors indicate that MPs simultaneously aggravated the short-term and long-term membrane fouling resistance of nanofiltration by 46 % and 27 %, respectively. ATR-FTIR, XPS and spectrophotometry spectra demonstrate that the deteriorated membrane fouling by MPs directly resulted from the increased accumulation of protein-like, polysaccharides-like and humic-like substances on membranes. EEM spectra further confirmed that MPs preferred to induce serious cake layers, which dominated membrane flux decline but hindered pore fouling. According to CLSM and SEM-EDS mappings, MPs in SE could stimulate microbial activities and then aggravate EPS secretion, after which their interaction with Ca2+ was also enhanced in bulk solution. The cross-linker nets could promote the deposition of other unlinked pollutants on membranes. Besides, MPs could weaken the rejection of certain dissolved organic matters (from 57 % to 52 % on the 50th day of filtration) by aggravating cake-enhanced concentration polarization (CECP), but improved the average removal of inorganic salts from 58 % to 63 % by improving their back diffusion through cake layers. Based on these analyses, the mechanisms of MP-enhanced membrane fouling during the nanofiltration of SE can be thoroughly revealed.

Self-cleaning foulant attachment on near-infrared responsive photocatalytic membrane for continuous dynamic removing antibiotics in sewage effluent environment. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 248:120867.

Abstract
Bifunctional photocatalytic nanofiltration (PNF) membrane has become a reliable frontier technique for removing refractory organic micropollutants. However, the active mitigated fouling mechanism from the microscopic perspective during its long-term operation of purifying real micro-polluted water is rarely studied. Herein, with an integrated use of QSense Explorer and confocal laser scanning microscope techniques, self-cleaning foulant attachment on an activated and customized near-infrared responsive polymeric PNF (termed as nPNF) membrane with good service performance for continuous dynamic removing antibiotics in sewage effluent environment was firstly elucidated. Time-dependent changes in dissipation oscillation frequency, sensed mass and the visualized foulant spatial distribution all indicated that there were only sporadic foulant attachment, an extremely low fouling layer thickness and irreversible fouling rate on/of the activated nPNF membrane top surface, thereby endowing it with excellent self-cleaning characteristic. This is probably because the reactive oxygen species (mainly •O2- and •OH) concurrently destroys the integrity of fouling layer and its internal adhesion structure, transforming part of the irreversible fouling on nPNF membrane surface into reversible one that is easy to wash off. These new horizons provided useful insight on the fate of selected antibiotics in the to-be-removed stage and self-cleaning foulant attachment of PNF membrane.

Loose Nanofiltration Membrane Incorporating CeZnFe Layered Double Hydroxide with Enhanced Dye/Salt Separation Performance and Self-Cleaning Ability. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:711.

Abstract
The high-salinity wastewater from the textile industry faces a significant challenge in effectively separating dyes and salts. In this study, a CeZnFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH)-incorporated nanofiltration (LNF) membrane was fabricated using the conventional interfacial polymerization (IP) technique to fractionate dyes and salts within the wastewater. The impact of CeZnFe LDH on various aspects of membrane performance was examined, including water flux, dye removal efficiency, dye/salt separation capability, self-cleaning ability, and membrane integrity. The addition of LDHs resulted in improved membrane surface hydrophilicity, thereby enhancing water flux. The optimized TFN membrane (0.050 wt% LDH in PIP solution) significantly improved pure water flux, exceeding 150%. All TFN membranes exhibited excellent performance in dye and salt fractionation (93% for Congo red, 2.6% for NaCl, and 40.7% for Na2SO4). Also, excellent self-cleaning ability was observed for the optimized membrane, exhibiting a remarkable water flux recovery rate after three operation cycles. Moreover, including CeZnFe LDH in the optimized TFN membrane played a significant role in enhancing membrane integrity. This study provides new inspiration for fabricating self-cleaning loose NF membranes using CeZnFe LDH for effective dye/salt separation.

Abstract
The presence of heavy metal ions in polluted wastewater represents a serious threat to human health, making proper disposal extremely important. The utilization of nanofiltration (NF) membranes has emerged as one of the most effective methods of heavy metal ion removal from wastewater due to their efficient operation, adaptable design, and affordability. NF membranes created from advanced materials are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to depollute wastewater in a variety of circumstances. Tailoring the NF membrane's properties to efficiently remove heavy metal ions from wastewater, interfacial polymerization, and grafting techniques, along with the addition of nano-fillers, have proven to be the most effective modification methods. This paper presents a review of the modification processes and NF membrane performances for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater, as well as the application of these membranes for heavy metal ion wastewater treatment. Very high treatment efficiencies, such as 99.90%, have been achieved using membranes composed of polyvinyl amine (PVAM) and glutaraldehyde (GA) for Cr3+ removal from wastewater. However, nanofiltration membranes have certain drawbacks, such as fouling of the NF membrane. Repeated cleaning of the membrane influences its lifetime.

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the fouling of a ceramic membrane by a mixture containing high concentrations of humic acid and colloidal silica during cross-flow ultrafiltration under various operating conditions. Two types of feed water were tested: feed water containing humic acid and feed water containing a mixture of humic acid and colloidal silica. The colloidal silica exacerbated the fouling, yielding lower fluxes (109-394 L m-2 h-1) compared to the humic acid feed water (205-850 L m-2 h-1), while the retentions were higher except for the highest cross-flow rate. For the humic acid feed water, the irreversible resistance prevails under the cross-flow rate of 5 L min-1. During the filtration of an organic-inorganic mixture, the reversible resistance due to the formation of a colloidal cake layer prevails under all operating conditions with an exception. The exception is the filtration of the organic-inorganic mixture of a 50 mg L-1 humic acid concentration which resulted in a lower flux than the one of a 150 mg L-1 humic acid concentration under 150 kPa and a cross-flow rate of 5 L min-1. Here, the irreversible fouling is unexpectedly overcome. This is unusual and occurs due to the low agglomeration at low concentrations of humic acid under a high cross-flow rate. Under lower transmembrane pressure and a moderate cross-flow rate, fouling can be mitigated, and relatively high fluxes are yielded with high retentions even in the presence of nanoparticles. In this way, colloidal silica influences the minimization of membrane fouling by organic humic acid contributing to the control of in-pore organic fouling.

Abstract
In this study, performance of braid reinforced hollow fiber membrane containing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) embedded with tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanosheets in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) was examined for textile wastewater treatment. The WO3 nanosheets was synthesized and blended at different concentrations (0.1-0.02 wt%) in casting solutions of the membranes. The WO3 nanosheets characterized using various tests such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDS, dot-mapping, and TEM. Furthermore, the effects of the increased WO3 nanosheets into the PVDF matrix on the membrane morphology, hydrophilicity, permeability, antifouling, and COD and color removal efficiency was investigated. The addition of 0.1 wt% of the nanosheets reduces the water contact angle from 69.3° to 62.5° while increasing overall porosity from 37.5 to 43.2%. COD and color removal for PVDF/0.10 wt% WO3 membrane was between 86-89% and 72-76%, respectively. While the TMP of modified WO3 membranes did not significantly increase due to antimicrobial properties of the WO3 nanosheets, the TMP of the pure PVDF membrane increase, indicating considerable cake layer fouling. The results of this study showed that modification of PVDF braid reinforced hollow fiber membrane using WO3 nanosheets is promising membrane for MBR systems.

Abstract
The present study operated the novel moving bed biofilm reactor-nanofiltration-membrane bioreactor (MBBR-NF-MBR) with loose polyamide NF membranes for the first time to treat roxithromycin (ROX) wastewater. Results showed that both MBBR-NF-MBRs achieved superior COD removal of 98.4% and 97.2% and excellent removal of ROX at 74.1% and 65.5%, respectively. The main membrane fouling mechanism was reversible fouling caused by the combination of abundant polysaccharides, proteins and Ca-P precipitates, which could be effectively removed by acidic cleaning. Sorption and biodegradation were the main removal routes of ROX in MBBR. Partial retention of loose NF membrane contributed to microbial metabolism and increased microbial diversity, especially the genera Hyphomicrobium in attached biofilm, which was reasonable for ROX removal. The cleavage of cladinose, demethylation, phosphorylation and β-oxidation in macrolactone ring were the main biotransformation reactions of ROX. This study provides novel insights for micropollutants wastewater treatment by using loose NF membrane in MBR.
