BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 382:129126. [PMID: 37127169 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotics in wastewater can affect the structures and functions of bacterial communities, subsequently influencing how well a biological process performs. Therefore, the characteristics of bacterial community were investigated in a hybrid moving bed biofilm reactor-membrane bioreactor system when treating domestic wastewater containing sulfadiazine (SDZ). Results indicated total nitrogen removal reduced by 10.2%, 9.1%, 2.7% and 2.9%, respectively, with increasing carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratios (2.5, 4, 6 and 9) when SDZ was present (0.5 mg/L). The microbial communities' analysis revealed that the abundance of nitrogen removal-related bacteria increased with C/N. Specifically, the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (0.46%-0.90%) was low, and the nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (2.16%-7.13%) and denitrifying bacteria showed a significant increase (Hyphomicrobium: 0.57%-3.54%) when C/N ratio increased. The abundance of denitrifying bacterial declined by 4.82-8.56% at different C/N ratios, while nitrifying bacterial rose by 0.70-5.67%. Interestingly, the denitrifying bacteria Enterobacter, Sphingomonas and Gemmatimonas acted as mutualistic bacteria that stabilized denitrification.

Evaluation of a Hybrid Moving Bed Biofilm Membrane Bioreactor and a Direct Contact Membrane Distillation System for Purification of Industrial Wastewater. MEMBRANES 2022; 13:16. [PMID: 36676823 PMCID: PMC9863120 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13010016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Integrated wastewater treatment processes are accepted as the best option for sustainable and unrestricted onsite water reuse. In this study, moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), membrane bioreactor (MBR), and direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) treatment steps were integrated successively to obtain the combined advantages of these processes for industrial wastewater treatment. The MBBR step acts as the first step in the biological treatment and also mitigates foulant load on the MBR. Similarly, MBR acts as the second step in the biological treatment and serves as a pretreatment prior to the DCMD step. The latter acts as a final treatment to produce high-quality water. A laboratory scale integrated MBBR/MBR/DCMD experimental system was used for assessing the treatment efficiency of primary treated (PTIWW) and secondary treated (STIWW) industrial wastewater in terms of permeate water flux, effluent quality, and membrane fouling. The removal efficiency of total dissolved solids (TDS) and effluent permeate flux of the three-step process (MBBR/MBR/DCMD) were better than the two-step (MBR/DCMD) process. In the three-step process, the average removal efficiency of TDS was 99.85% and 98.16% when treating STIWW and PTIWW, respectively. While in the case of the two-step process, the average removal efficiency of TDS was 93.83% when treating STIWW. Similar trends were observed for effluent permeate flux values which were found, in the case of the three-step process, 62.6% higher than the two-step process, when treating STIWW in both cases. Moreover, the comparison of the quality of the effluents obtained with the analysed configurations with that obtained by Jeddah Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant proved the higher performance of the proposed membrane processes.

Yu H, Shangguan S, Xie C, Yang H, Wei C, Rong H, Qu F. Chemical Cleaning and Membrane Aging in MBR for Textile Wastewater Treatment. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12070704. [PMID: 35877907 PMCID: PMC9316503 DOI: 10.3390/membranes12070704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Membrane bioreactors have been widely used in textile wastewater treatment. Intensive chemical cleaning is indispensable in the MBR for textile wastewater treatment due to the severe membrane fouling implied. This work investigated the aging of three different membranes, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyether sulfone (PES), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), in the MBRs for textile wastewater treatment. Pilot-scale MBRs were operated and the used membrane was characterized. Batch chemical soaking tests were conducted to elucidate the aging properties of the membranes. The results indicated that the PVDF membrane was most liable to the chemical cleaning, and the PES and PTFE membranes were rather stable. The surface hydrophobicity of the PVDF increased in the acid aging test, and the pore size and pure water flux decreased due to the elevated hydrophobic effect; alkaline oxide aging destructed the structure of the PVDF membrane, enlarged pore size, and increased pure water flux. Chemical cleaning only altered the interfacial properties (hydrophobicity and surface zeta potential) of the PES and PTFE membranes. The fluoro-substitution and the dehydrofluorination of the PVDF, chain scission of the PES molecules, and dehydrofluorination of the PTFE were observed in aging. A chemically stable and anti-aging membrane would be of great importance in the MBR for textile wastewater treatment due to the intensive chemical cleaning applied.
