This study investigated the application of fertilizer drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) process for treating shale gas wastewater. It found that optimizing operational parameters can alleviate calcium sulfate and barium sulfate scaling issues, with the Aquaporin FO membrane exhibiting lower fouling tendency. Additionally, the effects of reverse salt diffusion on the scaling behavior of different salts in shale gas wastewater were analyzed.
In this study, fertilizer drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) process was applied for the treatment of shale gas wastewater. The forward osmosis (FO) experiments with simulated shale gas wastewater and real shale gas wastewater were carried out, respectively. The effects of reverse salt diffusion on the inorganic fouling to the membrane surface was systematically investigated. Two commercial FO membranes were selected and the optimized operating conditions were evaluated. It was found that calcium sulfate scaling can be alleviated by optimizing the operating parameters, including increasing flow rate and decreasing temperature. Furthermore, the Aquaporin FO membrane, which has lower reverse salt flux and less surface charge potential, exhibited lower fouling tendency. Under the optimal operating conditions, the effects of reverse salt diffusion on the barium sulfate scaling were also analyzed. The presence of calcium ions can alleviate barium sulfate scaling, while sodium chloride will aggravate the barium sulfate scaling. In addition, the scaling behavior of real shale gas wastewater was further explored. Inorganic scaling phenomenon seriously affected the FO membrane performance and lower pH had beneficial effect on recycling the real shale gas wastewater. The present study provided both theoretical fundamentals and industry applicable practices for implementing FO technology in the treatment and resource recovery of shale gas wastewater.
