In this study, a spontaneous electric field membrane bioreactor (SEF-MBR), equipped with the innovative Cu-nanowires conductive microfiltration membrane, was developed to achieve membrane fouling mitigation and high-quality effluent. The membrane fouling was significantly mitigated due to the presence of spontaneous electric field that the intensity of the spontaneous electric field in the established SEF-MBR was up to 0.073 V/cm. After over 2-month operation, the membrane flux of SEF-MBR was 2.1 times that of the control reactor. The thickness of fouling layer on the Cu-nanowires conductive membrane surface was about 80 mu m, which was far thinner than that on the surface of commercial polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. Meanwhile, it was featured with the lower microbe density and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) content. The effluent quality of SEF-MBR met the first-class discharge standards, and the removal rates were 94.5% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 99.8% for NH4+-N, 78.5% for total nitrogen (TN), and 86.6% for total phosphorus (TP). The established system with the innovative Cu-nanowires conductive membrane showed a promising prospect for using the spontaneous electric field to mitigate membrane fouling and achieve high-quality effluent without extra power consumption.
