Ladeia Ramos R, Rezende Moreira V, Santos Amaral MC. Phenolic compounds in water: Review of occurrence, risk, and retention by membrane technology. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 351:119772. [PMID: 38147771 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119772] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
Phenolic compounds are one of the main contributors to water source contamination worldwide. In this review, the data collected on Elsevier, Scopus, and Pubmed, considering papers published between 2000 and 2023, showed more than 60 different phenols have been identified in water matrix (<0.065-179,000,000 ng L-1). The highest concentration reported was in surface water canals in India. The most recurrent and studied compound was bisphenol A (n = 93) in concentrations ranging from 0.45 to 2,970,000 ng L-1. The solid phase extraction (HBL Oasis cartridge) and methanol as solvent was the method of pre-concentration most used followed by gas chromatography for the determination of phenols in water samples. The importance of drinking water guidelines incorporating more phenolic compounds was emphasized given the variety of these compounds quantified in water matrix. The human health risk assessment (HRA) was performed for the min-max concentrations of the pollutants reported in the literature. High HRA even at the lowest concentrations for 2-nitrophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, 3,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol, and 2,4-dinitrophenol was recognized. The cancer risk estimated was considered possible for 3-methylphenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, and 2,4-dinitrophenol in the highest concentrations. The in-depth discussion of mechanisms, advantages, challenges, and carbon footprint of membrane technologies in water treatment and phenols retention demonstrated the great potential and trends for the production of safe drinking water, highlighting reverse osmosis, as a mature technology, and membrane distillation, as an emergent technology.

Bouzikri S, Ouasfi N, Khamliche L. Statistical physics modeling study of an environmentally friendly and efficient adsorbent derived from the brown macroalgae Bifurcaria bifurcata for the removal of Bisphenol A. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2024; 199:116025. [PMID: 38232650 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2024.116025] [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: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
The brown macroalgae Bifurcaria bifurcata was valued and used to develop a carbonaceous material activated by H2SO4 (AC-BB@H2SO4), with the goal of assessing its adsorption ability against Bisphenol A (BPA). During the adsorption experiments, the effects of the adsorbent dose, solution pH, and contact time were examined, and the results were m = 0.4 g/L, pH = 8.3, and t = 120 min, with an elimination yield of 91.6 %. With comparatively high R2 values, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model perfectly fitted the experimental data. Langmuir's model was found to be the best appropriate for describing the adsorption equilibrium of BPA on AC-BB@H2SO4. The thermodynamic findings show that BPA adsorption on AC-BB@H2SO4 was spontaneous, favorable, and endothermic in nature. Even after six cycles of reuse, regeneration testing demonstrated that our adsorbent could eliminate BPA by >50 %. The BPA adsorption mechanism's statistical physics control parameters were determined and analyzed. BPA's adsorption energies were <40 kJ/mol, indicating that the interactions between BPA and AC-BB@H2SO4 were governed by physical forces (i.e., hydrogen bonding and van der Waals and electrostatic interactions). All of these intriguing findings indicate that our carbonaceous material might have direct ramifications in the field of wastewater treatment, notably for the clearance of BPA, which is difficult to biodegrade.

Enhanced EDC removal from water through electron beam-mediated adsorber particle integration in microfiltration membranes. RSC Adv 2023; 13:32928-32938. [PMID: 38025853 PMCID: PMC10630744 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra06345c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The existence of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in water and wastewater gives rise to significant environmental concerns. Conventional treatment approaches demonstrate limited capacity for EDC removal. Thus, incorporation of advanced separation procedures becomes essential to enhance the efficiency of EDC removal. In this work, adsorber composite microfiltration polyethersulfone membranes embedded with divinyl benzene polymer particles were created. These membranes were designed for effectively removing a variety of EDCs from water. The adsorber particles were synthesized using precipitation polymerization. Subsequently, they were integrated into the membrane scaffold through a phase inversion process. The technique of electron beam irradiation was applied for the covalent immobilization of particles within the membrane scaffold. Standard characterization procedures were carried out (i.e., water permeance, contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy) to gain a deep understanding of the synthesized membrane properties. Dynamic adsorption experiments demonstrated the excellent capability of the synthesized composite membranes to effectively remove EDCs from water. Particularly, among the various target molecules examined, testosterone stands out with the most remarkable enhancement, presenting an adsorption loading of 220 mg m-2. This is an impressive 26-fold increase in the adsorption when compared to the performance of the pristine membrane. Similarly, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione exhibited an 18-fold improvement in adsorption capacity in comparison to the pristine membrane. The composite membranes also exhibited significant adsorption capacities for other key compounds, including 17β-estradiol, equilin, and bisphenol-A. With the implementation of an effective regeneration procedure, the composite membranes were put to use for adsorption over three consecutive cycles without any decline in their adsorption capacity.

[PMID: 37999354 PMCID: PMC10673372 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13110868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
The removal of three emerging pollutants: carbamazepine, ketoprofen, and bisphenol A, has been studied using the nanofiltration flat sheet membrane NF99HF. The removal efficiencies of the membrane have been evaluated by two system characteristic parameters: permeate flux and rejection coefficient. The influence of two operating variables has been analysed: operating pressure and feed concentration. Before and after the tests with emerging pollutants, the membrane has been characterized by determining its water permeability coefficient and its magnesium chloride rejection coefficient to find out if the removal of emerging pollutants causes membrane fouling. The results show that operating pressure has significant separation effects, obtaining the highest efficiencies at a pressure of 20 bar for pollutant concentrations between 5 and 25 mg/L. Moreover, rejection of ketoprofen was found to be dependent on electrostatic repulsion, while rejection of bisphenol A was significantly affected by adsorption onto the membrane. Finally, the experimental data have been fitted to the solution diffusion model and to the simplified model of Spiegler-Kedem-Katchalsky to predict the behaviour of the nanofiltration membrane in the removal of the tested pollutants. Good agreement between the experimental and predicted carbamazepine and bisphenol A data has been obtained with each model, respectively.

Abstract
Bisphenols (bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol AF (BPAF)) are widely used as additives in numerous industries and therefore they are ubiquitously present throughout the world's natural environment including water. A review of the literature is presented on their sources, pathways of entry into the environment, and especially aquatic contexts, their toxicity to humans and other organisms and the technologies for removing them from water. The treatment technologies used are mostly adsorption, biodegradation, advanced oxidation, coagulation, and membrane separation processes. In the adsorption process, several adsorbents, especially carbon-based materials, have been tested. The biodegradation process has been deployed and it involves a variety of micro-organisms. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as UV/O3-based, catalysis relevant AOPs, electrochemical AOPs and physical AOPs have been employed. Both the biodegradation process and AOPs generate by-products which may be toxic. These by-products need to be subsequently removed using other treatment processes. Effectiveness of the membrane process varies depending on the porosity, charge, hydrophobicity, and other properties of the membrane. The problems and limitations of each treatment technique are discussed and methods to overcome them are presented. Suggestions are articulated to use a combination of processes to improve the removal efficiencies.

Abstract
Membrane filtration in various forms has become an increasingly used treatment method worldwide for the supply of safe drinking water. The fouling of membranes is commonly considered to be the major operational limitation to its wider application since it leads to frequent backwashing and a shortening of membrane life, and increased production costs. The components of natural organic matter (NOM) in surface waters have been reported previously to be important foulants of nanofiltration (NF) membranes, however, the potential beneficial effect of particular components of these 'foulants' has not been investigated or demonstrated to date. In this study, we have considered the roles of different organic materials including autochthonous NOM (e.g., biopolymers) and allochthonous NOM (e.g., humic substances) on the fouling of NF membranes by bench-scale tests with samples of two representative source waters (UK) taken in two different seasons (autumn and winter). Microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) were employed to generate two permeates, between which the presence of biopolymers (30 kDa - 90 kDa) is the major difference. We developed sequential filtration (MF/UF-NF) to investigate biopolymers' behaviours in NF process. The results showed that the accumulation of biopolymers on NF membranes can mitigate fouling by providing a protective layer in which medium-low molecular weight (MW) materials (e.g. humic substances) are separated by adsorption and/or size exclusion. The protective layers assisted by biopolymers were seen to be thicker under scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and characterized by higher roughness (i.e. three-dimensional, spacial structure) and greater adsorptive capacity. Moreover, improvement on NF membrane fouling mitigation could be more significant in autumn, comparing to that in winter. The findings in this study were found to be repeatable in similar tests with samples of comparable raw waters in China, and will be important to the practical application of NF membrane systems in terms of a new approach to combating fouling in long-term operation.

Abstract
This review is an attempt to assess the adsorption performance of different green adsorbents derived from agricultural waste materials (AWMs) that were used for the elimination of bisphenol A (BPA) from aqueous matrices. Different processes including grafting, polymerization, activation and chemical treatment have been applied to functionalize and modify agricultural waste materials for the purposes of increasing their adsorptive performances toward BPA. The highest reported adsorption capacity of adsorbent from agricultural waste for the uptake of BPA is the highly microporous carbon adsorbent derived from Argan nut shell (1408 mg g-1). Hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and π-π interactions were reported in most studies as the main mechanisms governing the adsorption of BPA onto agricultural waste adsorbents. Equilibrium isotherm and kinetic studies for the uptake of BPA onto agricultural waste adsorbents were best described by Langmuir/Freundlich model and pseudo-second order model, respectively. Despite the effective elimination of BPA by various agricultural waste adsorbents, an appropriate selection of elution solvent is important for effective desorption of BPA from spent adsorbent. To date, ethanol, diethyl ether-methanol, methanol-acetic acid, mineral acids and sodium hydroxide are the most eluents applied for desorption of BPA molecules loaded onto AW-adsorbents. Looking toward the future, studies on the agricultural waste adsorbents based on polymers, activated carbons, nanoparticles and highly microporous carbons should be mostly considered by the researchers toward removing BPA. These future studies should be performed both in laboratory, pilot and industrial scales, and also should report the sustainable techniques for disposal of the spent AW-adsorbents after lose their adsorption performance on BPA.

Abstract
The presence of emerging micropollutants and dyes in water resource has raised global concern about their intense effects to aquatic environments, ecosystem and human health in general. So far, various adsorbents have been suggested for reducing the levels of bisphenol A, methylene blue and neutral red contamination in wastewaters. However, a number of these adsorbents seemed to have low adsorptive capacities and regeneration performances. In view of these, batch experiment was performed to decontaminate these pollutants from aqueous solutions using an optimized bagasse-β-cyclodextrin polymer (SB-β-CD). Characterization studies of SB-β-CD were performed using FTIR, pH point of zero charge, XRD and BET methods. Adsorption of BPA, MB and NR was favored at lower temperature (298 K) and pH of 7.0, 9.0 and 6.0, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of BPA, MB and NR at 298 K was 121, 963 and 685 mg g-1, respectively. Hydrogen bonding through host-guest inclusion and electrostatic interactions could respectively attribute to uptake of BPA and MB/NR onto SB-β-CD. Adsorption kinetics of three pollutants followed pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir and Freundlich models were fitted to describe the adsorption of BPA and MB/NR, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed the occurrence of physical adsorption which is spontaneous and exothermic in nature. SB-β-CD loaded with BPA and MB/NR was certainly reused by 75% ethanol and 0.1 mol L-1 HCl solutions, respectively. Novel SB-β-CD showed better adsorptive capacity and regeneration performances; consequently can offers practical application for removal of BPA, MB and NR from wastewaters.

Low pressure operated ultrafiltration membrane with integration of hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres for effective removal of micropollutants. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 397:122779. [PMID: 32387831 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2019] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
An effective way to remove micropollutants is desirable for water purification. In this work, a dual-functional ultrafiltration (DFUF) membrane was fabricated by loading hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (HMCNs) into the finger-like support layer pores of the polymeric ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. The designed DFUF membrane combines the high selectivity of ultrafiltration that removes macromolecules based on size exclusion mechanism, and excellent adsorption capacity of HMCNs towards micropollutants in water. When tetracycline (TCN) and 17β-Estradiol (E2) were selected as model micropollutants, corresponding 97 % and 94 % removal were achieved at a low pressure less than 0.15 bar and a flux of 50 and 64 L h-1 m-2 (estimated residence time less than 6 s), respectively. Moreover, simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants was demonstrated by filtering a mixture containing TCN and polyethylene glycols (PEG) 600 kDa macromolecules. Over a long filtration period (more than 60 h) that produced 3180 L/m2 of permeate, the TCN concentration reduced from 100 μg/L in the feed to less than 10 μg/L in the permeate. The above results indicate that the DFUF membrane is capable of removing the small molecular and macromolecular pollutants simultaneously at low pressure, and hence offers remarkable potential in water treatment applications.

Abstract
Understanding the significance of plant-endophytic bacteria for bisphenol A (BPA) removal is of importance for any application of organic pollutant phytoremediation. In this research, Dracaena sanderiana with endophytic Pantoea dispersa showed higher BPA removal than uninoculated plants at 89.54 ± 0.88% and 79.08 ± 1.20%, respectively. Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR) showed that P. dispersa increased from 3.93 × 107 to 8.80 × 107 16S rRNA gene copy number in root tissues from day 0 to day 5 which indicated that it could assist the plant in removing BPA during the treatment period. pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), conductivity, and salinity were reduced after 5 days of the experimental period. Particularly, BOD significantly decreased due to activities of the plants and microorganisms. Furthermore, an indigenous bacterial strain, Bacillus cereus NI, from the wastewater could remove BPA in high TDS and alkalinity condition of the wastewater. This work suggests that D. sanderiana plants could be used as a tertiary process in a wastewater treatment system and should be combined with its endophytic bacteria. In addition, B. cereus NI could also be applied for BPA removal from wastewaters with high TDS and salinity.

Abstract
Present study described a magnetic adsorption and removal method with prepared magnetic core-shell Fe3O4@polyaniline microspheres for the removal of two typical BFRs, tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) and decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) from water samples. Magnetic core-shell Fe3O4@polyaniline microspheres were prepared by a hydrothermal and two step polymerization method with cheap iron salts and aniline, which were characterized with transmission electron microscopic (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the Fe3O4@polyaniline microspheres earned a clear thickness shell of polyaniline (about 50 nm) and a saturation magnetization of 40.4 emu g-1. The Magnetic core-shell Fe3O4@polyaniline exhibited excellent adsorption capability and removal rate to TBBPA and BDE 209. The adsorption of TBBPA and BDE 209 all followed pseudo-second order kinetics and agreed well to the Freundlich adsorption isotherms model. The negative Gibbs free energy change (ΔG0) and positive standard enthalpy change (ΔH0) for TBBPA and BDE-209 suggested that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. These results demonstrated that Fe3O4@PANI was a good adsorbent and would have a good application prospect in the removal of pollutants from environmental water.

Abstract
The shortage of drinking water is a major problem in the rural areas of the Mekong Delta, especially, when surface water, a main local direct drinking water source is being threatened by pesticide pollution and salinity intrusion. A hybrid process coupling electrodialysis (ED) and nanofiltration (NF) is proposed as an effective process easy to setup in a small plant to treat complex matrix with high salinity and pesticide concentration as is the Mekong Delta surface water. Performance of the ED-NF integration was evaluated with synthetic solutions based on the comparison with a single NF step generally used for pesticide removal. Both energy consumption and water product quality were considered to assess process efficiency. The ED stage was designed to ensure a 50% removal of salinity before applying NF. As expected, the NF rejection is better in the hybrid process than in a case of a single NF step, especially for pesticide rejection. The integration of a NF stage operated with NF270 membrane consumes less energy than that with NF90 membrane but its efficiency was observed not high enough to respect the Vietnamese guidelines. Using NF90, the optimal recovery rate of the NF stage varies from 30 to 50% depending on the salt content in the feed.

Abstract
Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are widely used for desalination and water treatment. However, they insufficiently reject some small uncharged micropollutants, such as certain endocrine-disrupting, pharmaceutically active compounds and boric acid, increasingly present in water sources and wastewater. This study examines the feasibility of improving rejection of multiple micropollutants in commercial low-pressure RO membrane elements using concentration polarization- and surfactant-enhanced surface polymerization. Low-pressure membrane elements modified by grafting poly(glycidyl methacrylate) showed enhanced rejection of all tested solutes (model organic micropollutants, boric acid, and NaCl), with permeability somewhat reduced, but comparable with commercial brackish water RO membranes. The study demonstrates the potential and up-scalability of grafting as an in situ method for improving removal of various classes of organic and inorganic micropollutants and tuning performance in RO and other dense composite membranes for water purification.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a toxic compound emitting to the environment mainly by polycarbonate production facilities. In this research, BPA with the initial concentrations in the range of 1-40 mg l-1 was degraded by Ralstonia eutropha. The bacteria were unable to use BPA as the sole carbon source. Therefore, resting and growing cells of phenol-adapted R. eutropha were used for cometabolic biodegradation of BPA with phenol at the concentration of 100 mg l-1. The optimum initial concentrations of BPA were 20 mg l-1 in both approaches of cometabolism. By using resting cells, BPA removal efficiency (RE) reached to 57%, however, RE decreased to 37% by growing cells in the presence of phenol. BPA-degrading activity was inhibited at BPA concentrations >20 mg l-1. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technique was used to identify some metabolic intermediates generated during BPA degradation process as 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propanol, 4-(2-propanol)-phenol, 4-hydroxyacetophenone, 4-isopropenylphenol, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Finally, metabolic pathways for BPA degradation were proposed in this study.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most abundant endocrine-disrupting compounds which is found in the aquatic environment. However, actual knowledge regarding the effect of plant-bacteria interactions on enhancing BPA removal is still lacking. In the present study, Dracaena sanderiana endophytic bacteria interactions were investigated to evaluate the effect of bacterial inoculation on BPA removal under hydroponic conditions. Two plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacterial strains, Bacillus thuringiensis and Pantoea dispersa, which have high BPA tolerance and can utilize BPA for growth, were used as plant inocula. P. dispersa-inoculated plants showed the highest BPA removal efficiency at 92.32 ± 1.23% compared to other inoculated and non-inoculated plants. This was due to a higher population of the endophytic inoculum within the plant tissues which resulted in maintained levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) for the plant's physiological needs and lower levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, B. thuringiensis-inoculated plants had a lower BPA removal efficiency. However, individual B. thuringiensis possessed a significantly higher BPA removal efficiency compared to P. dispersa. This study provides convincing evidence that not all PGP endophytic bacteria-plant interactions could improve the BPA removal efficiency. Different inocula and inoculation times should be investigated before using plant inoculation to enhance phytoremediation.

Abstract
Novel heterostructured β-Bi2O3/Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates (hBN) were synthesized to observe the sonocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) (widely used as a model pollutant) under ultrasonic (US) irradiation. Prior to obtaining the hBN, the Bi2O2CO3 micropowder precursor was prepared under hydrothermal conditions and then converted to hBN by increasing the calcination temperature to 300 °C. The synthesized hBN samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (FESEM/EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The hBN/US system exhibited greater sonocatalytic activity for the degradation of BPA than the US treatment with the single element bismuth oxide, β-Bi2O3 prepared by annealing the Bi2O2CO3 precursor at 400 °C for 1 h. The US frequency and US power intensity in the hBN/US system were the key operating parameters, which were responsible for the complete degradation of BPA during 6 h of reactions. The degradation efficiency of BPA under the US irradiation was positively correlated with the dose of hBN. Our findings indicate that heterostructured hBN can be used as an efficient sonocatalyst for the catalytic degradation of BPA in water and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Laccase enzymes from Rhus vernificera were covalently bound on hyperbranched polyethyleneimine/polyethersulfone (HPEI/PES) electrospun nanofibrous membranes and used for the removal of bisphenol A (BPA) from water. The laccase enzyme was anchored on the dendritic membranes through the abundant peripheral amine groups on the HPEI using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. The membranes were characterized with attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM). Furthermore, contact-angle analyses, pure water flux measurements and rejection analyses were carried out. CLEM showed that the enzymes were uniformly dispersed on the nanofibres while SEM analysis revealed that the nanofibres had an average diameter of 354 ± 37 nm. EDS showed the presence of Cu, which is the active entity in laccase enzymes. The laccase-modified membranes were hydrophilic (50°-53° contact angle) and exhibited high BPA rejection of 89.6% as compared to the 52.4% demonstrated by pristine PES. The laccase-modified membranes also maintained a constant permeate flux (7.07 ± 5.54 L/m2 h) throughout the filtration process. Recyclability studies indicated that the membranes still maintained a high BPA removal of up to 79% even after four filtration cycles.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an emerging contaminant of water resources that disrupts endocrine function. Attempts are continuing to develop cost-effective methods to remove BPA from water environments. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize polysulfone/graphene oxide nano-composite membranes for removal of BPA from water. Three membranes were synthetized using phase inversion method: polysulfone membrane as PSF and two polysulfone/graphene oxide nano-composite membranes with graphene oxide (GO) weight ratios of 0.4 and 1.0% as PSF/GO 0.4% and PSF/GO 1.0%, respectively. The membrane characteristics including morphology, surface roughness, pore size, zeta potential and presence of functional groups were determined using field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, streaming potential, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. Inclusion of GO remarkably increased permeate flux of the membranes, so that pure water flux of PSF, PSF/GO 0.4% and PSF/GO 1.0% at operating pressure of 2 bar was determined 226, 449 and 512 L/m2 h, respectively. The membrane PSF/GO 0.4% with the most negative zeta potential (-10.46 mV) and the highest BPA removal efficiency was determined as the optimal membrane. The optimum conditions of input pressure, operating time, initial concentration of BPA, and pH for BPA removal efficiency by PSF/GO 0.4% were determined using surface response methodology to be 1.02 bar, 10.6 min, 7.5 mg/L, and 5.5, respectively. By optimizing the conditions of operating parameters, experimental BPA removal efficiency by PSF/GO 0.4% reached to as high as 93%.

Abstract
Orange albedo and its adsorption capacity towards bisphenol A (BPA) were studied. Adsorption experiments were conducted in batch mode at 25-55°C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterise the biosorbent. The effects of various parameters including adsorption time, equilibrium pH, adsorbent dosage and initial adsorbate concentration were investigated. The optimum contact time and pH for the removal of BPA were 60 min and 2, respectively. It was found that the adsorption isotherms best matched the Freundlich model, the adsorption of BPA being multilayer and that of the albedo surface heterogeneous. From the kinetic studies, it was found that the removal of BPA best matched the pseudo-second order kinetic model. An adsorption mechanism based on the albedo surface molecules is proposed and gives a good account of π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding. Orange albedo, with a maximum BPA loading capacity of 82.36 mg g-1 (significantly higher than that of most agricultural residues), is a good candidate for BPA adsorption in aqueous media.

Abstract
Abstract
Two types of nanofiltration membranes were tested to remove uranium dissolved in ammonium nitrate solution, and the influence of operating parameters as transmembrane pressure, tangential velocity and feed temperature was investigated. Experimental results showed NF270 membrane can reject more than 96% uranium and allow most (90% min) ammonium nitrate solution passed by, and with a permeate flux of 60 L/(m2·h). Nanofiltration seems to be a promising technology for the removal of uranium and recovery of ammonium nitrate simultaneously.

Abstract
Polyethersulphone (PES) membranes blended with silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles were prepared via a dry-jet wet spinning technique for the removal of bisphenol A (BPA) by adsorption mechanism. The morphology of SiO2 nanoparticles was analysed using a transmission electron microscopy and particle size distribution was also analysed. The prepared membranes were characterized by several techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and water contact angle. The adsorption mechanism of membrane towards BPA was evaluated by batch experiments and kinetic model. The influence of natural organic matter (NOM) in feed water on membrane BPA removal was also studied by filtration experiments. Results showed that BPA adsorption capacity as high as 53 µg/g could be achieved by the PES membrane incorporated with 2 wt% SiO2 in which the adsorption mechanism was in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The intraparticles diffusion model suggested that the rate limiting factor of membrane adsorption mechanism is governed by the diffusion of BPA into the membrane pores. The presence of 10 ppm NOM has reported to negatively reduce BPA removal by 24%, as it tended to compete with BPA for membrane adsorption. This work has demonstrated that PES-SiO2 membrane has the potential to eliminate trace amount of BPA from water source containing NOM.

Abstract
Massive utilization of bisphenol A (BPA) in the industrial production of polycarbonate plastics has led to the occurrence of this compound (at μg/L to ng/L level) in the water treatment plant. Nowadays, the presence of BPA in drinking water sources is a major concern among society because BPA is one of the endocrine disruption compounds (EDCs) that can cause hazard to human health even at extremely low concentration level. Parallel to these issues, membrane technology has emerged as the most feasible treatment process to eliminate this recalcitrant contaminant via physical separation mechanism. This paper reviews the occurrences and effects of BPA toward living organisms as well as the application of membrane technology for their removal in water treatment plant. The potential applications of using polymeric membranes for BPA removal are also discussed. Literature revealed that modifying membrane surface using blending approach is the simple yet effective method to improve membrane properties with respect to BPA removal without compromising water permeability. The regeneration process helps in maintaining the performances of membrane at desired level. The application of large-scale membrane process in treatment plant shows the feasibility of the technology for removing BPA and possible future prospect in water treatment process.

Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), which find their way easily into the water sources, are emerging as a major concern for drinking water quality and aquatic species. Therefore, their removal from water sources is a priority from environmental point of view. During the past decade, different methods including membrane separation, adsorption systems and chemical transformation have been evaluated for removal of these compounds. This paper reviews different aspects of PhAC removal by using membrane separation processes, as they have been conventionally known to show high potential in the production of superior quality drinking and industrial water. In brief, osmosis membranes can efficiently remove almost all PhACs though its operational cost is relatively high and nanofiltration (NF) membranes are highly influenced by electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction. Moreover, the efficiency of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) is difficult to predict due to the complex interaction of compounds with microorganisms. To improve the performance and robustness of membrane technology, it is suggested to combine membranes with other systems, such as activated carbon and enzymatic degradation.
