Oxidized carbide-derived carbon as a novel filler for improved antifouling characteristics and permeate flux of hybrid polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes

Ismail W. Almanassra et al.

Summary: In this study, carbide-derived carbon (CDC) oxidized by acid treatment was used as a filler to fabricate a novel polyethersulfone (PES) composite ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. The oxidation of CDC resulted in increased oxygen content and improved hydrophilicity of the modified PES membranes. The addition of oxidized CDC significantly improved membrane porosity, pore size, water flux, antifouling characteristics, and adsorption capacity, as well as the stability and reusability of the membranes.

A novel loosely structured nanofiltration membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment: Process performance and membrane fouling

Lei Cao et al.

Summary: A novel nanofiltration membrane bioreactor (NF-MBR) was constructed by integrating a loosely structured nanofiltration hollow fiber membrane into an aerobic activated sludge system. The loose NF membrane showed high permeability and achieved higher removal efficiency of CODCr and DOC compared to the conventional ultrafiltration membrane bioreactor (UF-MBR). The fouling mechanism analysis revealed that reversible cake fouling was dominant and the small pore size of NF membrane mitigated irreversible pore blockage. The energy consumption of NF-MBR was comparable to UF-MBR. This study demonstrates the potential of loose NF membrane bioreactor as an advanced process for wastewater treatment.

Review of New Approaches for Fouling Mitigation in Membrane Separation Processes in Water Treatment Applications

Mervette El Batouti et al.

Summary: This review investigates antifouling agents used in various membrane separation processes and clarifies the fouling mechanism. The article discusses the composition and impact of fouling on membranes, and reports on methods for cleaning and repairing membranes. The study found that biologically induced biofilm dispersion effectively controls fouling, and the dynamic changes in membrane foulants during long-term operation are critical for the development of fouling control methods.

Impacts of Calcium Addition on Humic Acid Fouling and the Related Mechanism in Ultrafiltration Process for Water Treatment

Hui Zou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of Ca2+ on HA fouling and demonstrated the potential of Ca2+ addition in mitigating fouling in the coagulation-ultrafiltration process. It was found that increasing Ca2+ concentration led to an increase in filtration flux and a reduction in hydraulic filtration resistance. The effects of Ca2+ addition varied for different resistance components, with a decrease in internal blocking and concentration polarization resistance, but an increase in membrane surface deposit resistance. The main reason for the decreased filtration resistance was the enlarged particle size caused by the Ca2+ bridging effect.

Interaction between humic acid and silica in reverse osmosis membrane fouling process: A spectroscopic and molecular dynamics insight

Danyang Li et al.

Summary: The study identified a critical silica concentration where synergistic fouling with humic acid caused severe fouling in the reverse osmosis membrane process. Below the critical point, no severe fouling was observed, while above the critical point, concentrated silica acted as the prior foulant causing severe synergistic fouling with humic acid.

Modeling and fouling control in a hybrid membrane process using CuO-catalytic membrane coupled to ozone

Leticya Lais Coelho et al.

Summary: Membrane filtration methods are prone to fouling, but hybrid techniques combining ozone and membrane filtration show promise in reducing membrane fouling. Detailed knowledge of fouling processes is necessary for incorporating these technologies at large-scale water treatment plants. Research found that CuO-membranes can mitigate membrane fouling and increase filtration efficiency in treating surface water.
