Preoxidation-ultrafiltration process is an effective method for removing Fe2+ and Mn(2+), but the presence of Fe2+, Mn2+, and organics in the feed can cause severe membrane fouling. This study proposes a novel FeOx+MnOx+H2O2 membrane cleaning method which achieves high membrane flux recovery and removal of membrane foulants within a short time. The outstanding performance of the system is mainly attributed to the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 to generate highly reactive radicals and abundant oxygen.
Preoxidation-ultrafiltration process is an effective method for Fe2+ and Mn(2+)removal, in which Fe2+ (Mn2+) are firstly oxidized to FeOx (MnOx), then collected by the ultrafiltration membrane. However, the simultaneous presence of Fe2+, Mn2+, and organics in feed can cause severe membrane fouling, which inhibits the overall performance of this method prominently. In this study, a novel FeOx+MnOx+H2O2 membrane cleaning method is proposed based on the idea of turning in-situ generated membrane foulants, i.e., FeOx+MnOx, into the catalysts for membrane cleaning. The results demonstrate that the FeOx+MnOx+H2O2 system can achieve more than 95% membrane flux recovery and remove almost all irreversible membrane foulants within only 5 min and with only 0.5%wt% H2O2 solution. The outstanding performance of the system is mainly attributed to the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 to generate both highly reactive radicals, such as hydroxyl radicals (.OH), and abundant oxygen. In addition, when the membrane is loaded by only MnOx, polyaluminium chloride (PAC) as the coag-ulator demonstrates prominent influence on the performance of membrane cleaning. However, PAC makes almost no contribution to membrane cleaning when the membrane is loaded by FeOx. This is because coagulation induced by PAC exerts more prominent impact on the particle size distribution of MnOx than that of FeOx. In conclusion, the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 by in-situ generated FeOx+MnOx is a promising advanced oxidation process to achieve outstanding membrane cleaning performance under the condition of low H2O2 concentration and no extra dosage of catalysts. The novel membrane cleaning system exhibits high potential for the practical membrane treatment processes to treat water with high contents of Fe and Mn.
