Wang H, Yang J, Zhang H, Zhao J, Liu H, Wang J, Li G, Liang H. Membrane-based technology in water and resources recovery from the perspective of water social circulation: A review. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 908:168277. [PMID: 37939956 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168277] [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: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
In this review, the application of membrane-based technology in water social circulation was summarized. Water social circulation encompassed the entire process from the acquirement to discharge of water from natural environment for human living and development. The focus of this review was primarily on the membrane-based technology in recovery of water and other valuable resources such as mineral ions, nitrogen and phosphorus. The main text was divided into four main sections according to water flow in the social circulation: drinking water treatment, agricultural utilization, industrial waste recycling, and urban wastewater reuse. In drinking water treatment, the acquirement of water resources was of the most importance. Pressure-driven membranes, such as ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) were considered suitable in natural surface water treatment. Additionally, electrodialysis (ED) and membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) were also effective in brackish water desalination. Agriculture required abundant water with relative low quality for irrigation. Therefore, the recovery of water from other stages of the social circulation has become a reasonable solution. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) was a typical technique attributed to low-toxicity effluent. In industrial waste reuse, the osmosis membranes (FO and PRO) were utilized due to the complex physical and chemical properties of industrial wastewater. Especially, membrane distillation (MD) might be promising when the wastewater was preheated. Resources recovery in urban wastewater was mainly divided into recovery of bioenergy (via anaerobic membrane bioreactors, AnMBR), nitrogen (utilizing MD and gas-permeable membrane), and phosphorus (through MBR with chemical precipitation). Furthermore, hybrid/integrated systems with membranes as the core component enhanced their performance and long-term working ability in utilization. Generally, concentrate management and energy consumption control might be the key areas for future advancements of membrane-based technology.

Bai Y, Wu YH, Wang RN, Xue S, Chen Z, Hu HY. Critical minority fractions causing membrane fouling in reclaimed water: Fouling characteristics, mechanisms and control strategies. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 173:107818. [PMID: 36812804 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.107818] [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: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
In regard to membrane-based technologies of wastewater reclamation, the reported key foulants were faced with dilemma that they could not be effectively separated and extracted from reclaimed water for thorough investigation. In this study, the crucial foulants were proposed as "critical minority fraction (FCM)", representing the fraction with molecular weight (MW) > 100 kDa which could be easily separated by physical filtration using MW cut-off membrane of 100 kDa with fairly high recovery ratio. FCM with low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration (∼1 mg/L) accounted for less than 20% of the total DOC in reclaimed water, while contributed to more than 90% of the membrane fouling, and thus FCM could be considered as a "perfect criminal" causing membrane fouling. Furthermore, pivotal fouling mechanism was attributed to the significant attractive force between FCM and membranes, which led to severe fouling development due to the aggregation of FCM on membrane surface. Fluorescent chromophores of FCM were concentrated in regions of proteins and soluble microbial products, with proteins and polysaccharides accounted for 45.2% and 25.1% of the total DOC, specifically. FCM was further fractionated into six fractions, among which hydrophobic acids and hydrophobic neutrals were the dominant components in terms of DOC content (∼80%) as well as fouling contribution. Regarding to these pronounced properties of FCM, targeted fouling control strategies including ozonation and coagulation were applied and proved to achieve remarkable fouling control effect. High-performance size-exclusion chromatography results suggested that ozonation achieved distinct transformation of FCM into low MW fractions, while coagulation removed FCM directly, thus leading to effective fouling alleviation. Therefore, the investigation of the critical foulants was expected to help glean valuable insight into the fouling mechanism and develop targeted fouling control technologies in practical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel renewable pH-responsive starch-based flocculant (CIAT-ST) via etherifying 2-chloro-4,6-isopropylamino-[1,3,5]-triazine (CIAT) onto the starch backbones for decontamination and reuse of highly saline effluents. The obtained CIAT-ST shows a unique pH-sensibility and reversibility in response to a subtle pH change due to a pH-controllable surface charge density of polymer chains. The level of residual CIAT-ST in the solution can be facilely monitored by using UV-vis detection. The dye flocculation performance of CIAT-ST was evaluated by using a batch experiment. The results exhibited that the dye removal was highly dependent on the solution pH (optimal pH was 2), the flocculation equilibrium can be achieved within 5 min, and the maximum flocculation capacity of CIAT-ST for K-2BP and KN-B5 were calculated to be 2452.6 ± 23.9 and 792.7 ± 14.1 mg/g, respectively. The multiple flocculation mechanisms, including charge neutralization, bridging and charge patching, may participate in the flocculation process. Adjustment in pH-mediated hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity switch of flocculant facilitates readily recovery and then sequentially reused three times while retaining satisfying flocculation efficiency. A significant contribution was also confirmed that the highly saline effluents after flocculation and sedimentation were reused in three successive dyeing processes without sacrificing fabric quality (ΔE* < 1) due to relatively low polymer residuals, and the efficiency of salt reuse for consecutive regeneration processes could be achieved above 85%. The present work could provide alternative thoughts for the reutilization of spent flocculant and clarified saline wastewater, which is also an efficient and sustainable strategy for textile wastewater management.

Abstract
In this study, an activated wakame biochar material (AWBM) was prepared by a one-step calcination and activation method, whose adsorption performances for methylene blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RB) and malachite green (MG) were also analyzed. The results showed AWBM was a mesoporous fluffy structure material with a higher specific surface (1156.25 m2/g), exhibiting superior adsorption capacities for MB (841.64 mg/g), RB (533.77 mg/g) and MG (4066.96 mg/g), respectively. In addition, FT-IR analysis showed that AWBM possessed abundant active groups (such as -OH, -CO and -CH), further enhancing the adsorption efficiencies. The Langmuir model could better fit the three dyes adsorption isotherms process using AWBM, and the Pseudo-second-order model could better describe the adsorption kinetic experimental data. The thermodynamic analysis showed that the three dyes adsorption using AWBM was spontaneous endothermic reaction. This study suggests AWBM has enormous potential in the application of removing organic dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
A process of denitrification filter (DNF) coupled with ultrafiltration (UF) and ozonation (DNF-UF-O3) has been widely applied to advanced nitrogen removal for wastewater reclamation. Despite of the effective removal of nitrogen by DNF, the influence of DNF stage on the operation of UF was still unclear. In this study, a laboratory filtration system was used to investigate the membrane fouling potential of DNF effluent and the fouling control of ozonation. The membrane fouling potential was proved to be increased significantly after DNF stage and alleviated with ozonation treatment. With the help of UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and molecular weight (MW) analysis, the change of DOM component characteristics was proved to be in accordance with the change of fouling potential. The water samples were further fractionated into six hydrophobic/hydrophilic acidic/basic/neutral fractions, among which hydrophobic acids (HOA) and hydrophobic neutrals (HON) dominated the membrane fouling potential of DNF effluent. Detailed study of each fraction revealed that higher MW components in HOA and HON played a crucial role in the fouling of UF membrane. The dominant component of membrane fouling could be degraded and removed by ozonation, and therefore significant fouling alleviation was achieved. These results indicated that in the process of wastewater reclamation, besides conventional water quality indexes, more detailed water features should also be taken into consideration to optimize the whole process. Moreover, the control effects by ozonation could be monitored simply according to the change of specific UV absorbance (SUVA) and fluorescence intensity as surrogates in engineering applications. According to these results, a modified DNF-O3-UF process with O3 dosage of 3 mg/L was proposed simply by reversing the sequence of UF and O3 with no more infrastructure. This modified DNF-O3-UF process was expected to enlarge the produce capacity of reclaimed water with much lower electricity costs and chemical consumption.
