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.

Progress in membrane distillation processes for dye wastewater treatment: A review. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 360:142347. [PMID: 38759802 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142347] [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: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Textile and cosmetic industries generate large amounts of dye effluents requiring treatment before discharge. This wastewater contains high levels of reactive dyes, low to none-biodegradable materials and chemical residues. Technically, dye wastewater is characterised by high chemical and biological oxygen demand. Biological, physical and pressure-driven membrane processes have been extensively used in textile wastewater treatment plants. However, these technologies are characterised by process complexity and are often costly. Also, process efficiency is not achieved in cost-effective biochemical and physical treatment processes. Membrane distillation (MD) emerged as a promising technology harnessing challenges faced by pressure-driven membrane processes. To ensure high cost-effectiveness, the MD can be operated by solar energy or low-grade waste heat. Herein, the MD purification of dye wastewater is comprehensively and yet concisely discussed. This involved research advancement in MD processes towards removal of dyes from industrial effluents. Also, challenges faced by this process with a specific focus on fouling are reviewed. Current literature mainly tested MD setups in the laboratory scale suggesting a deep need of further optimization of membrane and module designs in near future, especially for textile wastewater treatment. There is a need to deliver customized high-porosity hydrophobic membrane design with the appropriate thickness and module configuration to reduce concentration and temperature polarization (CP and TP). Also, energy loss should be minimized while increasing dye rejection and permeate flux. Although laboratory experiments remain pivotal in optimizing the MD process for treating dye wastewater, the nature of their time intensity poses a challenge. Given the multitude of parameters involved in MD process optimization, artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies present a promising avenue for assistance. Thus, AI-driven algorithms have the potential to enhance overall process efficiency, cutting down on time, fine-tuning parameters, and driving cost reductions. However, achieving an optimal balance between efficiency enhancements and financial outlays is a complex process. Finally, this paper suggests a research direction for the development of effective synthetic and natural dye removal from industrially discharged wastewater.

Abstract
China is the world's largest producer and exporter of concentrated apple juice (CAJ). However, traditional concentration methods such as vacuum evaporation (VE) and freeze concentration cause the loss of essential nutrients and heat-sensitive components with high energy consumption. A green and effective technique is thus desired for juice concentration to improve product quality and sustainability. In this study, a hybrid forward osmosis-membrane distillation (FO-MD) process was explored for the concentration of apple juice using sodium lactate (L-NaLa) as a renewable draw solute. As a result, commercial apple juice could be concentrated up to 65 °Brix by the FO process with an average flux of 2.5 L·m-2·h-1. Most of the nutritional and volatile compounds were well retained in this process, while a significant deterioration in product quality was observed in products obtained by VE concentration. It was also found that membrane fouling in the FO concentration process was reversible, and a periodical UP water flush could remove most of the contaminants on the membrane surface to achieve a flux restoration of more than 95%. In addition, the L-NaLa draw solution could be regenerated by a vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) process with an average flux of around 7.87 L∙m-2∙h-1 for multiple reuse, which further enhanced the long-term sustainability of the hybrid process.

Abstract
A bibliometric study using 1992 to 2021 database of the Science Citation Index Expanded was carried out to identify which are the current trends in textile wastewater treatment research. The study aimed to analyze the performance of scholarly scientific communications in terms of yearly publications/citations, total citations, scientific journals, and their categories in the Web of Sciences, top institutions/countries and research trends. The annual publication of scientific articles fluctuated in the first ten years, with a steady decrease for the last twenty years. An analysis of the most common terms used in the authors' keywords, publications' titles, and KeyWords Plus was carried out to predict future trends and current research priorities. Adsorbent nanomaterials would be the future of wastewater treatment for decoloration of the residual dyes in the wastewater. Membranes and electrolysis are important to demineralize textile effluent for reusing wastewater. Modern filtration techniques such as ultrafiltration and nanofiltration are advanced membrane filtration applications.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) has become one of the most serious pollutants that are harmful to the environment and ecology. This paper focused on the removal of lead contaminant from wastewater by forward osmosis-membrane distillation (FO-MD) hybrid process using seawater as draw solution. Modeling, optimization, and prediction of FO performance are developed using complementary approach based on response surface methodology (RSM) and an artificial neural network (ANN). FO process optimization using RSM revealed that under initial lead concentration of 60 mg/L, feed velocity of 11.57 cm/s and draw velocity of 7.66 cm/s, FO process achieved highest water flux of 6.75 LMH, lowest reverse salt flux of 2.78 gMH and highest lead removal efficiency of 87.07%. Fitness of all models was evaluated based on determination coefficient (R2) and mean square error (MSE). Results showed highest R2 value up to 0.9906 and lowest RMSE value up to 0.0102. ANN modeling generates the highest prediction accuracy for water flux and reverse salt flux, while RSM produces the highest prediction accuracy for lead removal efficiency. Subsequently, FO optimal conditions are applied on FO-MD hybrid process using seawater as draw solution and evaluate their performance to simultaneously remove lead contaminant and desalination of seawater. Results displays that FO-MD process shows a highly efficient solution to produce fresh water with almost free heavy metals and very low conductivity.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 230:119524.

Abstract
This experimental study explores the feasibility of the reuse of dyes recovered from denim and polyester dyebath effluents using forward osmosis (FO) system to achieve zero hazardous material discharge. In batch experiments, the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at 0.5 M concentration generated an average flux of 3.5 L/m2/h (LMH) and reverse salt flux (RSF) of only 0.012 g/m2/h (GMH), while maintaining 100% dye rejection. This flux stability comes from the property of surfactants to form micelles and exert a stable osmotic pressure (π) above their critical micelle concentration (CMC). The low RSF is due to the greater micelle size. A colored fouling layer was formed on the membrane active layer (AL), which was easily removed using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and citric acid. According to Fourier transform infrared spectra and atomic forces microscopy images of the AL, the interaction between foulants and membrane active groups did not significantly affect the physiochemical properties of the membrane. In the semi-continuous experiment, a very stable average flux of 7.3 LMH and RSF of 0.03 GMH was obtained using 0.75 M SDS as draw solution. The stacked 1D proton nuclear magnetic resonance analysis (1HNMR) spectra of both original and recovered disperse dyes showed 100% similarity, which validates the concept that the recovered dyes maintained their integrity during reconcentration and can be reused in the next batch dyeing process. Importantly, the diluted SDS concentration can be directly reused within the same textile industry in scouring and finishing processes. The processes of dye recovery and reuse developed in this study do not produce any waste or hazardous by-products and are suitable for scale-up and onsite industrial applications.

Membrane fouling behaviors in a full-scale zero liquid discharge system for cold-rolling wastewater brine treatment: A comprehensive analysis on multiple membrane processes.

Abstract
The challenge of water scarcity drives zero liquid discharge (ZLD) treatment to maximize reuse of industrial wastewater. Deciphering the characteristics and mechanisms of membrane fouling in the membrane-based ZLD system is crucial for the development of effective fouling control strategies. However, current studies only focused on the membrane fouling of single step, lacking in-depth understanding on the ZLD systems using multiple membrane processes. Herein, membrane fouling characteristics and mechanisms in a full-scale ZLD system for cold-rolling wastewater brine treatment were investigated via a comprehensive analysis on multiple nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane processes. The membrane fouling behaviors showed distinct characteristics along the wastewater flow direction in the ZLD system. Increasing amounts of foulants were deposited on the membrane surfaces with the sequence of the 1st pass RO, 1st stage NF, and 2nd stage NF processes. The organic fouling and silica scaling were more intensive in the 1st stage NF and 2nd stage NF for treating the brine of the 1st pass RO, as the foulants were rejected and concentrated by previous membrane processes. Severe inorganic fouling, containing amorphous SiO2, Al2O3, and Al2SiO5, occurred on the membrane surface of the 2nd pass RO membrane, due to the recirculated high-concentration silica, high water recovery, and concentration polarization. For the 3rd pass RO process, both the amounts of organic and inorganic foulants decreased dramatically, due to the low foulant concentration in its influent. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of membrane fouling in a membrane-based ZLD system, facilitating the development of membrane fouling control strategies for multiple membrane processes.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of cross-linked chitosan-metal oxide nanocomposite for methyl orange dye removal from unary and complex effluent matrices. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 219:53-67. [PMID: 35926672 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Textile/Dyeing industries have been considered as one of the intense water-consuming units, resulting in the generation of a large volume of dye(s) contaminated effluent posing a heavy burden on the receiving water bodies. Therefore, the identification of methods to synthesize bulk quantity of adsorbent(s) and further their evaluation for the efficient treatment of effluent is one of the most prominent topics. Hence, microwave-assisted method was proposed for the rapid synthesis of nanocomposite (C-CS@ZnO) from natural biomolecule (chitosan-CS), a well-known crosslinker (tripolyphosphate) and metal-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. Detailed characterization was performed to identify the structure (SEM, XRD) and composition (FT-IR, XPS) of the sorbent. Sorption experiments with methyl orange (MO) dye solution were carried out under different pH (2.0-12.0), dye concentrations (150-350 mg L-1), reaction times (0-210 min) and temperature (25-45 °C) to establish the adsorbent at the lab-scale. The maximum sorption capacity (185.2 mg g-1) was obtained because of the ligand-exchange, Yoshida H-bonding and electrostatic interactions and was best elucidated by Freundlich (R2 ≥ 0.99) and pseudo-second-order (R2 ≥ 1) models. To simulate the field conditions, the effects of co-existing ions (anions/cations), cocktail dyes/ions mixture and regenerant were also studied. The obtained results suggest its promising applicability at a large scale for textile effluent treatment.

Abstract
Recently, thermo-responsive nonionic amphiphilic copolymers have shown a great potential as forward osmosis (FO) draw solutes for high-salinity water desalination and zero-liquid discharge (ZLD). However, the relationship between the copolymer structural properties and key characteristics as draw solutes, as well as copolymer's chemical stability after regeneration have not been much studied. In this work, we systematically investigated poly (ethylene oxide)-block-poly (propylene oxide)-block-poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) copolymers as draw solute. The results showed that the PEO segments significantly influenced the viscosity, osmotic pressure and lowest phase separation temperature of the copolymer aqueous solutions. Among four commercial copolymers studied, Pluronic® L35 with moderate molecular weight (Mn 1,900 Da), 50% PEO, and relatively high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) showed the best draw solution (DS) performance. It also showed great stability in physiochemical properties and draw capacity after more than ten cycles of regeneration. On the other hand, despite the fact that membrane fouling was observed due to the use of copolymer DS, the FO flux (∼1.2 L m‒2 h‒1, as similar with the virgin membrane) was not affected when high-salinity feedwater such as seawater RO brine was applied. Overall, our study has provided a more comprehensive understanding on the characteristics of nonionic amphiphilic copolymer DS and showcased the promise of copolymer-driven FO process in high-salinity water desalination and ZLD.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:23736-23749.

Abstract
Desalination and industrial plants all around the world generate large amounts of saline wastewater (brine). The discharge of brine from facilities poses a severe environmental threat, while at the same time, the opportunity to recover resources is being lost as discharged brine is rich in valuable metals that could be recovered as salts/minerals. To this aim, this study presents and analyzes for the first time the characteristics of different brine effluents (from industries such as desalination, oil and gas production, petrochemical, aquaculture, pharmaceutical, textile) to prevent environmental pollution and to recover valuable resources (i.e., salts, minerals, metals, chemicals) enabling the concept of waste-to-resource (circular water economy model). The results revealed that the common salinity values in brine effluents range from 0.5 to 150 g/L, while the only exception is the produced water from the oil and gas industry (up to 400 g/L). Brine effluents from all sectors contain sodium, chloride, calcium, and potassium ions in high concentrations, while the production of common salts such as NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2 from brine can be economically profitable. Besides common ions, precious metals such as lithium, rubidium, and cesium are present in low concentrations (<25 mg/L); however, their extraction from brine effluents can be significantly profitable due to their very high sale price. The treatment and valorization of brine can be implemented by the hybridization of membrane-based, chemical, biological, and thermal-based technologies/processes in minimal and zero liquid discharge (MLD/ZLD) systems.

Abstract
Effluents of textile industries caused serious environmental problem throughout the world. In this study, a total of 23 bacterial strains from five bacterial species were isolated from the dye effluent. Of these strains, a unique and novel Enterobacter aerogenes ES014 was utilized for dye decolourization and toxicity analysis. The selected strain could effectively decolourize three selected azo dyes. It showed the capability for decolourizing acid orange (82.3 ± 3.6%), methyl orange (78.2 ± 3.3%), and congo red (81.5 ± 3.2%). The selected bacterial strain significantly decolourized 100 mg/L acid orange at 35 °C, pH 7.5 with 6% sodium chloride concentration. Most of the tested nitrogen and carbon sources effectively enhanced decolourization process. It showed the ability to decolourize acid orange in the culture medium containing 1.5% glucose (100 ± 2.8%) and 0.8% beef extract (100 ± 3.1%). A laboratory-scale batch bioreactor was used to decolourize azo dye at optimized culture conditions. The decolourizing ability improved with 100 mL/h hydraulic retention time. The treated wastewater quality was improved due to sharp depletion of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), alkalinity and sulphate concentration. The selected bacteria has the potential to produce dye degrading laccase. Laccase was detected during fermentation process in batch bioreactor as a key enzyme for decolourization produced by E. aerogenes ES014. Phytotoxicity and acute toxicity analysis were performed using Arachis hypogaea (pea nut) seed and first instar larvae of Artemia parthenogenetica (brine shrimp). The seed germination rate of treated wastewater was improved (94.3 ± 1.8%) and enhanced survival rate (91.7 ± 2.9%) in the first instar Artemia larvae treated with wastewater after 24 h. Overall, E. aerogenes ES014, might be a promising bacterial strain for the treatment of textile effluents with high azo dye concentrations.

Abstract
In the present work, we proved the efficacy of cellulose citrate to remove methylene blue (MB) from artificially contaminated water. MB is a widely used dye, but because of its chemical aromatic structure, it is significantly stable with quite slow biodegradation, causing consequent serious health problems for people and significant environmental pollution. Cellulose citrate, the bio-adsorbent proposed and studied by us to remediate water polluted by MB, is produced by a green, cheap and fast procedure that makes use of two abundant natural products, cellulose and citric acid. The average of two citrate groups for each glucose unit of cellulose chains allows this material to have many carboxylic groups available for interaction with the cationic dye. The characterization was carried out through FT-IR, SEM, specific surface area, pore structure parameters and zeta potential. The negative value of the zeta potential at neutral pH is consistent with the affinity of this material for the adsorption of cationic compounds like MB. The activity of the adsorbent at different times, temperatures, pH and concentrations was investigated. The process followed monolayer adsorption typical of the Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 96.2 mg g-1, while for the kinetic studies the process followed a pseudo-second order model. The highest levels of adsorption were reported using solutions of dye with concentrations under 100 mg L-1. The adsorbent can be regenerated several times without a significant loss in the adsorption capacity, and it is not strongly affected by temperature and pH, giving rise to a simple and eco-sustainable procedure for water remediation. Therefore, we conclude that cellulose citrate can be considered as a promising bio-adsorbent for the removal of MB and other cationic pollutants from the environment.

Abstract
Water is crucial for enhancing the yield of agricultural land to meet the growing demand. Forward osmosis (FO) is a developing technology that utilizes the natural osmotic gradient of solutions. In this study, fertilizer drawn FO setup was considered by using potassium chloride (KCl) as the draw solution (DS) for treating textile wastewater as the feed solution (FS). This study investigated the effects of FS temperature, pH, and FS and DS concentrations. The performance investigation involved the study in terms of water flux, reverse salt flux, and specific reverse salt flux. DS and FS properties, osmotic potential, and temperature played a vital role in the performance. At 30°C FS temperature, the highest water flux (5.5 LMH) was observed. Reverse salt flux increased due to the increase in solute diffusivity. The highest value of water flux was obtained at a DS of 1.150 M and FS of 1000 mg/L. The permeation of water improved due to the difference in DS and FS concentrations at pH values above 7. The results of this study suggest that KCl as DS has a higher potential for the treatment of textile wastewater at a temperature of 30°C. Additionally, the functional groups attached to the FO membrane were identified through Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Treatment of textile wastewater with the use of fertilizer draw solution (KCl) by forward osmosis process as carried out. The performance was assessed in terms of water flux, reverse salt flux, and specific reverse salt flux. The effects of feed and fertilizer draw solution concentrations; pH and temperature were evaluated on the performance of FO process.

Towards sustainable circular brine reclamation using seawater reverse osmosis, membrane distillation and forward osmosis hybrids: An experimental investigation.

Abstract
Desalination and wastewater treatment technologies require an effective solution for brine management to ensure environmental sustainability, which is closely linked with efficient process operations, reduction of chemical dosages, and valorization of brines. Within the scope of desalination brine reclamation, a circular system consisting of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), membrane distillation (MD), and forward osmosis (FO) three-process hybrid is investigated. The proposed design increases water recovery from SWRO brine (by MD) and dilutes concentrated brine to seawater level (by FO) for SWRO feed. It ultimately reduces SWRO process brine disposal and improves crystallization efficiency for a zero-liquid discharge application. The operating range of the hybrid system is indicated by a seawater volumetric concentration factor (VCF) ranging from 1.0 to 2.2, which covers practical and sustainable operation in full-scale applications. Within the proposed VCF range, different operating conditions of the MD and FO processes were evaluated in series with concentrated seawater as well as real SWRO brine from a full-scale desalination plant. Water quality and membrane surface were analyzed before and after experiments to assess the impact of the SWRO brine. Despite their low concentration (0.13 mg/L as phosphorous), antiscalants present in SWRO brine alleviated the flux decline in MD operations by 68.3% compared to operations using seawater concentrate, while no significant influence was observed on the FO process. A full spectrum of water quality analysis of real SWRO brine and Red Sea water is made available for future SWRO brine reclamation studies. The operating conditions and experimental results have shown the potential of the SWRO-MD-FO hybrid system for a circular brine reclamation.

Abstract
Monitoring fouling behavior for better understanding and control has recently gained increasing attention. However, there is no practical method for observing membrane fouling in real time, especially in the forward osmosis (FO) process. In this article, we used the optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique to conduct real-time monitoring of the membrane fouling layer in the FO process. Fouling tendency of the FO membrane was observed at four distinguished stages for 21 days using a regular membrane cleaning method. In this method, chemical cleaning, which extracts two to three times as much organic matter (OM) as physical cleaning, was used as an effective method. Real-time OCT image observations indicated that a thin, dense, and flat fouling layer was formed (initial stage). On the other hand, a fouling layer with a thick and rough surface was formed later (final stage). A deep learning convolutional neural network model was developed to predict membrane fouling characteristics based on a dataset of real-time fouling images. The model results show a very high correlation between the predicted data and the actual data. R2 equals 0.90, 0.86, 0.92, and 0.90 for the thickness, porosity, roughness, and density of the fouling layer, respectively. As a promising approach, real-time monitoring of fouling layers on the surface of FO membranes and the prediction of fouling layer characteristics using deep learning models can characterize and control membrane fouling in FO and other membrane processes.

Abstract
Forward osmosis-membrane distillation (FO-MD) hybrids were recently found suitable for produced water treatment. Exclusion of synthetic chemical draw solutions, typically used for FO, can reduce FO-MD operational costs and ease its onsite application. This study experimentally validates a novel concept for the simultaneous treatment of different produced water streams available at the same industrial site using an FO-MD hybrid system. The water oil separator outlet (WO) stream was selected as FO draw solution and it generated average fluxes ranging between 8.30 LMH and 26.78 LMH with four different feed streams. FO fluxes were found to be governed by the complex composition of the feed streams. On the other hand, with WO stream as MD feed, an average flux of 14.41 LMH was achieved. Calcium ions were found as a main reason for MD flux decline in the form of CaSO4 scaling and stimulating the interaction between the membrane and humic acid molecules to form scale layer causing reduction in heat transfer and decline in MD flux (6%). Emulsified oil solution was responsible for partial pore clogging resulting in further 2% flux decline. Ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid (EDTA) was able to mask a portion of calcium ions and resulted in a complete recovery of the original MD flux. Under hybrid FO-MD experiments MD fluxes between 5.62 LMH and 11.12 LMH were achieved. Therefore, the novel concept is validated to produce fairly stable FO and MD fluxes, with few streams, without severe fouling and producing excellent product water quality.

Abstract
Climate change is an existential threat to global environments and human life. To achieve global mean temperature rise of below 1.5 °C, increasing utilization of renewable energy and minimizing CO₂ emission from fossil fuel industries have been emphasized by the United Nations. Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) has displayed its technical feasibility in capturing renewable energy from the salinity gradient of two streams through a semipermeable membrane. Towards achieving economic feasible PRO, process optimization, waste stream/heat utilization, and hybrid PRO processes have been attempted by theoretically modelling and experimental examination. Among these efforts, the thermal associated PRO processes have received great attention due to their improved power generation. In this paper, we aim to provide a comprehensive review on thermal associated PRO processes, focusing on the role of thermal behaviour in both stand-alone PRO and hybrid PRO processes (e.g. PRO-membrane distillation, PRO-thermosiphon, PRO-solar pond). Meanwhile, thermal associated draw solution development has been highlighted. Finally, a combination of PRO with high temperature/high pressure geothermal waste gas as draw solution is proposed and its technical and economic feasibility is discussed, especially under Icelandic scenario.

Abstract
The textile industry is an important contributor to the growth of the global economy. However, a huge quantity of wastewater is generated as a by-product during textile manufacturing, which hinders the ongoing development of textile industry in terms of environmental sustainability. Membrane distillation (MD), which is driven by thermal-induced vapor pressure difference, is being considered as an emerging economically viable technology to treat the textile wastewater for water reuse. So far, massive efforts have been put into new membrane material developments and modifications of the membrane surface. However, membrane wetting, direct feed solution transport through membrane pores leading to the failure of separation, remains as one of the main challenges for the success and potential commercialization of this separation process as textile wastewater contains membrane wetting inducing surfactants. Herein, this review presents current progress on the MD process for textile wastewater treatment with particular focuses on the fundamentals of membrane wetting, types of membranes applied as well as the fabrication or modification of membranes for anti-wetting properties. This article aims at providing insights in membrane design to enhance the MD separation performance towards commercial application of textile wastewater treatment.

[PMID: 33254813 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 08/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
A robust and efficient treatment process is required to address the problem of residual colour and avoid expensive post-treatment steps while dealing with textile effluents. In the present work, a novel microbial consortium enriched from textile effluent was used to optimize the process of decolourization under extreme conditions with minimum inputs. With PreTreatment Range (PTR) effluent as a carbon source and only 0.5 g/L yeast extract as external input, the process enabled 70-73% colour reduction (from 1910-1930 to 516-555 hazen) in dyeing unit wastewater. Unhindered performance at higher temperatures (30 °C-50 °C) and wide pH range (7-12) makes this process highly suitable for the treatment of warm and extremely alkaline textile effluents. No significant difference was observed in the decolourization efficiency for effluents from different batches (Colour: 1647-4307 hazen; pH-11.5-12.0) despite wide variation in nature and concentration of dyes employed. Long term (60 days) continuous mode performance monitoring at hydraulic retention time of 48 h in lab-scale bioreactor showed consistent colour (from 1734-1980 to 545-723 hazen) and chemical oxygen demand (1720-2170 to 669-844 mg/L) removal and consistently neutral pH of the treated water. Present study thus makes a significant contribution by uncovering the ability of native microbial consortium to reliably treat dye laden textile wastewater without any dilution or pre-treatment and with minimum external inputs. The results ensure easy applicability of this indigenously developed process at the industrial scale.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2021; 20:1910-1936. [PMID: 33438299 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
As emerging membrane technologies, forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD), which work with novel driving forces, show great potential for liquid food concentration, owing to their low fouling propensity and great driving force. In the last decades, they have attracted the attention of food industry scientists in global scope. However, discussions of the FO and MD in liquid food concentration advancement, membrane fouling, and economic assessment have been scant. This review aims to provide an up-to-date knowledge about liquid food concentration by FO and MD. First, we introduce the principle and applications of FO and MD in liquid food concentration, and highlight the effect of process on liquid food composition, membrane fouling mechanism, and strategies for fouling mitigation. Besides, economic assessment of FO and MD processes is reviewed. Moreover, the challenges as well as future prospects of FO and MD applied in liquid food concentration are proposed and discussed. Comparing with conventional membrane-based or thermal-based technologies, FO and MD show outstanding advantages in high concentration rate, good concentrate quality, low fouling propensity, and low cost. Future efforts for liquid food concentration by FO and MD include (1) development of novel FO draw solution (DS); (2) understanding the effects of liquid food complex compositions on membrane fouling in FO and MD concentration process; and (3) fabrication of novel membranes and innovation of membrane module and process configuration for liquid food processing.
