Thin-film composite nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes are effective in removing pharmaceutically active compounds from water. The presence of organic fouling and co-existing ions significantly affect the rejection of these compounds.
Thin-film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes have been widely used to remove pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) from water and wastewater. However, limited information is available to present the rejection of neutral PhACs under complex water matrices. In this study, we used acetaminophen (AAP) as a representative neutral pollutant to study the effects of feedwater matrices on the rejection of neutral PhACs by NF and RO membranes. The results showed that the permeation of solutes and water through NF and RO membranes followed the classical solution-diffusion model. The corresponding permeability coefficients of AAP for the RO membrane showed good consistency, with average values ranging between (6.19-7.56) x 10-6 mu m s- 1 in fresh and brackish feedwater. Meanwhile, the NF membrane exhibited stable AAP and NaCl fluxes as the applied pressure increased from 4.8 to 7.6 bar, suggesting an insignificant influence of convection on solute transport. In addition, a 10-fold increase in NaCl concentration reduced the average AAP permeability coefficient of the NF membrane by 57% (i.e. from 2.8 x 10-5 m s-1 to 1.2 x 10-5 m s-1), highlighting the relevance of co-existing ions to AAP transport. Furthermore, organic fouling resulted in enhanced AAP rejection by both NF and RO membranes at neutral pH level and medium applied pressure (i.e.
