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.

Yogarathinam LT, Velswamy K, Gangasalam A, Ismail AF, Goh PS, Subramaniam MN, Satya Narayana M, Yaacob N, Abdullah MS. Parametric analysis of lignocellulosic ultrafiltration in lab scale cross flow module using pore blocking and artificial neural network model. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131822. [PMID: 34416593 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this study, fouling mechanism and modelling analysis of synthetic lignocellulose biomass and agricultural palm oil effluent was studied using polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) 10 kDa membrane. The impact of process variables (transmembrane pressure (TMP), pH and concentration of feed solution) on lignocellulosic flux was analysed using pore blocking model. The feasible approaches on utilising deep learning artificial neural network (ANN) to predict smaller flux datasets are studied. Among the input variables, pH of lignin feed solution has significant control towards flux and lignin rejection coefficient for both lignin and lignocellulosic solution. Alteration in the structure of lignin at different pH conditions contributed in the improvement of lignin rejection coefficient to 0.98 at the feed pH of 9. A maximum steady state flux of 52.03 L/m2h was observed at the lower lignin concentration (0.25 g/L), TMP of 200 kPa and feed pH of 3. At high TMP and concentration, lignin rejection decreased due to enhancement of feed concentration on membrane surface. The mechanistic model exhibited that cake layer phenomena was dominant in both lignin and lignocellulosic solution. The proposed ANN model showed good correlation (R2-1.00) with experimental non-linear flux dynamic data of both lignin and synthetic lignocellulosic solution. In ANN analysis, activation function, algorithm and neuron effect have significant effect in design of accurate model for prediction of small flux datasets. Aerobically-treated palm oil mill filtration analysis also showed that cake layer phenomenon was dominant. A water recovery of 82 % was achieved even at low TMP under short durations.
