Photocatalytically self-cleaning graphene oxide nanofiltration membranes reinforced with bismuth oxybromide for high-performance water purification. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 675:958-969.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have emerged as promising candidates for water purification applications, owing to their unique physicochemical attributes. Nevertheless, the trade-off between permeability and selectivity, coupled with their vulnerability to membrane fouling, poses significant challenges to their widespread industrial deployment. In this study, we introduce an innovative in-situ growth and layer-by-layer assembly technique for fabricating multilayer GO membranes reinforced with bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) on commonly employed Nylon substrates. This method allows for the creation of two-dimensional lamellar membranes capable of photocatalytic self-cleaning and tunable nanochannel dimensions. The synthesized GO/BiOBr composite membranes exhibit remarkable water permeance rates (approximately 493.9 LMH/bar) and high molecular rejection efficiency (>99 % for Victoria Blue B and Congo Red dyes). Notably, these membranes showcase an enhanced photocatalytic self-cleaning performance upon exposure to visible light. Our work provides a viable route for the fabrication of functionalized GO-based nanofiltration membranes with BiOBr inclusions, offering a synergistic combination of high water permeability, modifiable nanochannels, and effective self-cleaning capabilities through photocatalysis.

Abstract
Synechococcus, a type of ancient photosynthetic cyanobacteria, is crucial in modern carbon-negative synthetic biology due to its potential for producing bioenergy and high-value products. With its high biomass, fast growth rate, and established genetic manipulation tools, Synechococcus has become a research focus in recent years. Abundant germplasm resources have been accumulated from various habitats, including temperature and salinity conditions relevant to industrialization. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of complete genomes of the 56 Synechococcus strains currently available in public databases was performed, clarifying genetic relationships, the adaptability of Synechococcus to the environment, and its reflection at the genomic level. This was carried out via pan-genome analysis and a detailed comparison of the functional gene groups. The results revealed an open-genome pattern, with 275 core genes and variable genome sizes within these strains. The KEGG annotation and orthology composition comparisons unveiled that the cold and thermophile strains have 32 and 84 unique KO functional units in their shared core gene functional units, respectively. Each KO functional unit reflects unique gene families and pathways. In terms of salt tolerance and comparative genomics, there are 65 unique KO functional units in freshwater-adapted strains and 154 in strictly marine strains. By delving into these aspects, our understanding of the metabolic potential of Synechococcus was deepened, promoting the development and industrial application of cyanobacterial biotechnology.

Abstract
Polyacrylic acid (PAA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNP@PAA) were synthesized and evaluated as draw solutes in the forward osmosis (FO) process. MNP@PAA were synthesized by microwave irradiation and chemical co-precipitation from aqueous solutions of Fe2+ and Fe3+ salts. The results showed that the synthesized MNPs have spherical shapes of maghemite Fe2O3 and superparamagnetic properties, which allow draw solution (DS) recovery using an external magnetic field. Synthesized MNP, coated with PAA, yielded an osmotic pressure of ~12.8 bar at a 0.7% concentration, resulting in an initial water flux of 8.1 LMH. The MNP@PAA particles were captured by an external magnetic field, rinsed in ethanol, and re-concentrated as DS in repetitive FO experiments with deionized water as a feed solution (FS). The osmotic pressure of the re-concentrated DS was 4.1 bar at a 0.35% concentration, resulting in an initial water flux of 2.1 LMH. Taken together, the results show the feasibility of using MNP@PAA particles as draw solutes.

Abstract
The demand to effectively treat medical wastewater has escalated with the much greater use of antiviral drugs since the COVID-19 pandemic. Forward osmosis (FO) has great potential in wastewater treatment only when appropriate draw solutes are available. Here, we synthesize a series of smart organic-inorganic polyoxomolybdates (POMs), namely, (NH4)6[Mo7O24], (PrNH3)6[Mo7O24], (iPrNH3)6[Mo7O24], and (BuNH3)6[Mo7O24], for FO to treat antiviral-drug wastewater. Influential factors of separation performance have been systematically studied by tailoring the structure, organic characteristics, and cation chain length of POMs. POMs at 0.4 M produce water fluxes ranging from 14.0 to 16.4 LMH with negligible solute losses, at least 116% higher than those of NaCl, NH4HCO3, and other draw solutes. (NH4)6[Mo7O24] creates a water flux of 11.2 LMH, increased by more than 200% compared to that of NaCl and NH4HCO3 in long-term antiviral-drug wastewater reclamation. Remarkably, the drugs treated with NH4HCO3 and NaCl are either contaminated or denatured, while those with (NH4)6[Mo7O24] remain intact. Moreover, these POMs are recovered by sunlight-assisted acidification owing to their light and pH dual sensitivity and reusability for FO. POMs prove their suitability as draw solutes and demonstrate their superiority over the commonly studied draw solutes in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A pH-responsive, charge switchable piperazine derivative, 1,4-bis(3-propane- sulphonate sodium)-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid disodium-sulfate (4), has been designed via a stepwise synthesis and proposed as a draw solute to remove arsenics (AsIII, AsV) from water through forward osmosis (FO). Having multiple sulfonic groups, 4 generates a high osmotic pressure and produces a water flux as high as 58.4 LMH at a dilute concentration (0.24 M), surpassing most of the existing draw solutes in water transfer rate under the similar experimental conditions. Compound 4 at 0.24 M yields a water flux of 52.9 LMH with a 100% AsV rejection, and 57.8 LMH with a 96.0% AsIII rejection when 50 ppm AsV or AsIII as the corresponding feed, manifesting the best performance in arsenic removal and concurrent water recovery efficiency. Remarkably, being a polymeric configuration in water, 4 has a negligible solute loss in the FO process. 4 can be readily regenerated for reuse in FO by precipitation from its solution through acidification. The abundance in ionic groups and the pH-responsive property coupled with a supramolecular configuration make 4 an ideal draw solute for FO wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Increasing research and development works have been made to develop forward osmosis (FO) processes as a cost-effective substitute for energy intensive water vacuum suction facility in submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications. Perceived to be a spontaneous water driven process without external applied pressures, the FO has been applied in lab and pilot scales for wastewater bioremediation. This paper reviewed the state-of-the-art developments on the FO unit, the process, and ways of enhancing process performance, particularly on the aspects of flux enhancement, flow resistance reduction, and draw solute with low reverse salt diffusion, which are relevant to enhanced osmotic MBR performance. The perspective to realize the use of FO processes in revision of currently existing energy intensive osmotic MBR processes is discussed with research needs being highlighted.

Abstract
Polyamide TFC membranes are widely applied in membrane-based water treatment but generally suffer various fouling problems. In this work, the layer-by-layer assembly of phytic acid (PA) and metal ions (M) is constructed on the surface TFC membrane for the first time, to improve the bio/organic fouling resistances and separation performance of TFC membranes simultaneously. The PA molecule with six phosphonic acid groups of strong chelation ability acts as the organic ligand, and the metal ion acts as the inorganic cross-linker, inducing the assembly of hydrophilic and antibacterial PA-M (Ag or Cu) complexes on the TFC membrane surface. Various characterizations including FTIR, XPS, SEM, AFM, and EDX are employed to confirm the successful and uniform modification of PA-M. FO performance of the PA-M modified TFC membranes, i.e., TFC_PA-Ag and TFC_PA-Cu, is optimized by varying PA concentration and assembly cycles, where the water flux can be improved by 57% and 68%, respectively, without compromising the membrane selectivity. Additionally, the PA-M modification improves the biofouling and organic fouling resistances of the TFC membrane remarkably, owing to the enhanced antibacterial ability and hydrophilicity. The modified TFC membranes are also proven to show the excellent stability by the quantitative release test.

Abstract
In recent years, membrane technologies have been developed to address water shortage and energy crisis. Forward osmosis (FO), as an emerging membrane-based water treatment technology, employs an extremely concentrated draw solution (DS) to draw water pass through the semi-permeable membrane from a feed solution. DS as a critical material in FO process plays a key role in determining separation performance and energy cost. Most of existing DSs after FO still require a regeneration step making its return to initial state. Therefore, selecting suitable DS with low reverse solute, high flux, and easy regeneration is critical for improving FO energy efficiency. Numerous novel DSs with improved performance and lower regeneration cost have been developed. However, none reviews reported the categories of DS based on the energy used for recovery up to now, leading to the lack of enough awareness of energy consumption in DS regeneration. This review will give a comprehensive overview on the existing DSs based on the types of energy utilized for DS regeneration. DS categories based on different types of energy used for DS recovery, mainly including direct use based, chemical energy based, waste heat based, electric energy based, magnetic field energy based, and solar energy based are proposed. The respective benefits and detriments of the majority of DS are addressed respectively according to the current reported literatures. Finally, future directions of energy applied to DS recovery are also discussed.

Abstract
As the volume of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) stored in tailings ponds increases, it is urgent to seek for water management approaches to alleviate the environmental impact caused by large quantity of toxic water. Forward osmosis (FO) utilizes osmotic pressure difference between two solutions, thereby giving a potential to manage two wastewaters. In this study, FO was proposed to manage OSPW, using on-site waste basal depressurization water (BDW) as draw solution. To investigate its feasibility, both short and long-term OSPW desalination experiments were carried out. By applying this process, the volume of OSPW was decreased>40% and high rejections were achieved, especially, the major organic toxicity source - naphthenic acids (NAs). Although comparative low water flux (≤3L/m2h) was obtained, water flux caused by membrane fouling can be completely recovered using water physical cleaning. Moreover, calcium carbonate precipitation was observed on the OSPW-oriented membrane side. With respect to flux decline, the active layer facing the feed solution (FO mode) and active layer facing draw solution (PRO mode) did not demonstrate a significant difference on anti-fouling performance. The advantages provided by this approach include zero draw solution cost, less reversible membrane fouling and beneficial reuse/recycle of diluted BDW.
