Removal of Emerging Contaminants from Wastewater Streams Using Membrane Bioreactors: A Review

Membranes, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12(1), P. 60 - 60

Published: Dec. 31, 2021

Water is a very valuable natural resource. As the demand for water increases presence of emerging contaminants in wastewater has become growing concern. This particularly true when one considers direct reuse wastewater. Obtaining sufficient removal will require determining level various unit operations treatment process. Membrane bioreactors are attractive as they combine an activated sludge process with membrane separation step. They frequently used and can operate at higher solid loadings than conventional processes. Determining bioreactor step is, therefore, great interest. Removal could be by adsorption onto biomass or surface, biotransformation, size exclusion membrane, volatilization. Given fact that most low molecule weight non-volatile compounds, latter two methods usually unimportant. However, biotransformation important mechanisms removal. It to determine if microorganisms present given facility able remove ECs

Strategies for mitigating challenges associated with trace organic compound removal by high-retention membrane bioreactors (HR-MBRs)

Published: March 14, 2024

Abstract Due to the limitations of conventional ultrafiltration/microfiltration-based membrane bioreactors (UF/MF-MBRs) in removing trace organic compounds (TrOCs), concept high-retention (HR-MBRs) was introduced. Despite benefits, HR-MBRs still suffer several drawbacks. Therefore, this paper critically reviews effectiveness and feasibility proposed strategies alleviate fouling, salinity build-up incomplete biodegradation TrOCs during wastewater treatment by HR-MBRs. The severity each challenge is compared amongst various configurations together with associated capital operational expenditure determine most cost-effective set-up. Guidance provided on and/or lessons that could be adopted from well-established processes used at municipal scale. Chemical cleaning as mitigation for fouling degrades membranes leading poor removal, while pre-treatment surface modification increase (OpEX). However, there are other environmentally-friendly pretreatment options which hold great potential future application. These such advanced oxidation (AOPs) discussed work. Further, in-depth discussion made pros cons approaches (such frequent sludge withdrawal, intermittent UF/MF filtration using salts) salt build-up. Finally, rejected bioreactor transfers problems toxic pollutants management. Herein including stronger biological agents coupling techniques debated. challenges, a promising solution clean water production impaired wastewater. more research needed improve performance
