Monitoring residual fouling after cleaning of multi-fiber membrane modules fiber-by-fiber using non-invasive MRI monitoring

Bin Yan et al.

Summary: This study used non-invasive low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to monitor the changes in fiber-by-fiber hydrodynamics caused by fouling in a multi-fiber hollow fiber membrane module. It was shown that fouling evolution in these modules exhibited distinct trends in fiber-by-fiber volumetric flow, with increasing fouling leading to a decrease in the number of flow active fibers. The study also revealed a fouling memory-like effect, with residual fouling occurring preferentially at the outer edge of the fiber bundle during repeated fouling-cleaning cycles. MRI velocity imaging was found to be able to quantitatively monitor these effects, which are important for testing cleaning protocols and the long term operation of membrane modules.

Synergistic effects of microplastics and organic foulants on the performance of forward osmosis membranes

Mitra Golgoli et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the fouling of forward osmosis (FO) membranes by microplastics (MPs) of different sizes, and the interactional impacts of MPs and humic acid (HA) on FO membrane performance. The presence of MPs and HA together causes a higher decline in flux for FO membranes than when either HA or MPs are present alone. The reverse salt flux increases in the presence of MPs and decreases when HA is present. All fouled membranes recover their full flux after hydraulic cleaning, indicating the efficiency of FO systems for treating wastewater with high fouling potential. This study highlights the necessity of considering MPs in studying fouling behavior and mitigation strategies for membranes used in wastewater treatment.

The impact of PET microplastic fibres on PVDF ultrafiltration performance-A short-term assessment of MP fouling in simple and complex matrices

Cyril Hachemi et al.

Summary: Wastewater treatment plants play a crucial role in capturing microplastics before they enter natural waterways. However, the study reveals that sub-micron microplastics and nanoplastics have been neglected due to limitations in current analytical methods. The research investigates the impact of short poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanofibers on the performance of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes. The results show that PET fibers attach to the membrane in a disorganized manner, reducing the water flux by 8% in pure water but no noticeable effect in wastewater.

Assessment of microplastic sampling and extraction methods for drinking waters

Chuqiao Yuan et al.

Summary: No standardized methods currently exist for analyzing microplastics in treated drinking waters, leading to difficulties in making direct comparisons between studies. This study evaluates two known methods for collecting and extracting microplastics from drinking waters, finding that an in-line filtration method shows higher recoveries for reference microplastics and has a greater potential to reduce microplastic contamination.

Effect of microplastics on the physical structure of cake layer for pre-coagulated gravity-driven membrane filtration

Meng Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of microplastics on gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration and proposes methods for optimizing the filtration process.

The stimulation of microbial activity by microplastic contributes to membrane fouling in ultrafiltration

Xuejun Xiong et al.

Summary: Research has shown that dissolved organic carbon from plastics can stimulate microbial activity in the ocean, but not in freshwater systems. Microplastics, specifically polyethylene (PE), were found to increase microbial activity and extracellular polymeric substance production in natural surface water. The presence of microplastics led to a more hydrophobic and dense biofouling layer on membranes, with specific components of extracellular polymeric substances aggravating membrane fouling. Microbial diversity was also affected by the addition of microplastics in the water.
