逆电渗析反应器阴、阳极联合降解酸性橙Ⅱ实验研究

通过对由溶液浓差能驱动的逆电渗析(RED)反应器阴、阳极联合降解酸性橙Ⅱ模拟废水串、并联两种流程的实验研究,结果发现:在膜电势作用下,有机废水流经RED反应器阴、阳极时会生成两种强氧化剂—次氯酸(HClO)和过氧化氢(H_2O_2),在强氧化剂的作用下废水中有机物会发生氧化降解.在通过正交实验方法获得的最佳操作条件下,对1 L浓度为150 mg·L~(-1)酸性橙Ⅱ模拟废水进行20 min的降解实验.3次实验结果表明,串、并联流程的酸性橙Ⅱ平均降解率分别为59.26%和87.93%,平均脱色率分别为57.08%和86.87%,均低于RED阴、阳极独立降解时的降解率和脱色率.原因在于:在联合降解条件下反应器阴、阳极之间的产物会相互干扰,使得废水中有机物降解率降低.但降解过程中循环废水的pH值可以保持稳定.     

甲基异噻唑琳酮对MBR出水微生物生长分泌特性及群落结构的影响

污水再生处理反渗透(RO)工艺已在国内外获得广泛应用,但膜污堵问题阻碍RO工艺的进一步推广.投加非氧化性抑菌剂是控制RO膜生物污堵的常用手段,能够抑制细菌生长,但对细菌代谢产物分泌特性的影响尚不清楚.本课题的前期研究表明,细菌的胞外多聚物(EPS)是导致反渗透膜生物污堵的重要因素,细菌数量并非导致RO膜污堵的主要原因.针对上述问题,本文系统考察了典型非氧化性抑菌剂——甲基异噻唑啉酮(MIT)对RO系统进水(MBR出水)微生物的生长特性、群落结构及分泌特性的影响.研究发现,随MIT浓度增加,微生物生长迟滞期明显增长,但稳定期生物量增加;放线菌门、放线菌纲、类节杆菌属相对丰度明显增加;微生物分泌产物胞外多聚物(EPS)浓度增加,可能加重RO膜污堵潜势.上述结果表明,在污水再生处理反渗透系统中,MIT高浓度、长时间间隔的冲击式投加可能不利于膜污堵控制.     

Design of nanofibre interlayer supported forward osmosis composite membranes and its evaluation in fouling study with cleaning

• A fine fibre (40–60 nm diameter) interlayer (~1 µm thickness) was electrospun. • Fine fibre interlayer promoted formation of defect-free dense polyamide layer. • FO membrane with dual-layer substrate had less organic fouling potential. • High reverse salt flux accelerated organic fouling on FO membrane. Nanofibre-supported forward osmosis (FO) membranes have gained popularity owing to their low structural parameters and high water flux. However, the nanofibrous membranes are less stable in long-term use, and their fouling behaviours with foulants in both feed solution (FS) and draw solution (DS) is less studied. This study developed a nanofibrous thin-film composite (TFC) FO membrane by designing a tiered dual-layer nanofibrous substrate to enhance membrane stability during long-term usage and cleaning. Various characterisation methods were used to study the effect of the electrospun nanofibre interlayer and drying time, which is the interval after removing the M-phenylenediamine (MPD) solution and before reacting with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) solution, on the intrinsic separation FO performance. The separation performance of the dual-layer nanofibrous FO membranes was examined using model foulants (sodium alginate and bovine serum albumin) in both the FS and DS. The dual-layer nanofibrous substrate was superior to the single-layer nanofibrous substrate and showed a flux of 30.2 L/m²/h (LMH) when using 1.5 mol/L NaCl against deionised (DI) water in the active layer facing draw solution (AL-DS) mode. In the fouling test, the water flux was effectively improved without sacrificing the water/solute selectivity under the condition that foulants existed in both the FS and DS. In addition, the dual-layer nanofibrous TFC FO membrane was more robust during the fouling test and cleaning.

海水淡化超滤-反渗透工艺沿程溴代消毒副产物变化规律

研究了海水淡化超滤-反渗透(UF-RO)工艺沿程有机物和溴代消毒副产物(Br-DBPs)变化特征.该海水中含有较高浓度的Br-(45.6~50.9 mg·L-1)和较多的芳香类化合物[比紫外吸收值SUVA为3.6~6.0 L·(mg·m)-1];色氨酸类芳香族蛋白质、富里酸类有机物和溶解性微生物代谢产物是海水中主要的荧光特征有机物.UF-RO工艺进水海水经Na Cl O消毒后,DBPs的种类和浓度显著增加,且增加的主要为Br-DBPs,其中三溴甲烷(CHBr3)占总三卤甲烷(THMs)的70.48%~91.50%,二溴乙酸(Br2CHCO2H)占总卤乙酸(HAAs)的81.14%~100%,二溴乙腈(C2HBr2N)占总卤乙腈(HANs)的83.77%~87.45%.UF膜对THMs、HAAs和HANs的去除率分别为36.63%~40.39%、73.83%~95.38%和100%.RO膜可以完全去除HAAs,但是对THMs不能完全去除.进水海水的抗雌激素活性为0.35~0.44 mg·L-1,氯消毒后增加了32%~69%.海水淡化UF-RO系统生成的DBPs和其他生物毒性物质最终被截留到了UF浓水和RO浓水中.     

Ozonation as an efficient pretreatment method to alleviate reverse osmosis membrane fouling caused by complexes of humic acid and calcium ion

Humic acids (HA) didn’t cause obvious reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling in 45 h. Osmotic pressure (NaCl) affected slightly the RO membrane fouling behavior of HA. Ca²⁺ promoted aggregation of HA molecules and thus aggravated RO membrane fouling. Ozonation eliminated the effect of Ca²⁺ on the RO membrane fouling behavior of HA. The change of the structure of HA was related to its membrane fouling behavior. Humic acid has been considered as one of the most significant sources in feed water causing organic fouling of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, but the relationship between the fouling behavior of humic acid and the change of its molecular structure has not been well developed yet. In this study, the RO membrane fouling behavior of humic acid was studied systematically with ozonation as a pretreatment method to control RO membrane fouling. Furthermore, the effect of ozone on the structure of humic acid was also explored to reveal the mechanisms. Humic acid alone (10–90 mg/L, in deionized water) was found not to cause obvious RO membrane fouling in 45-h operation. However, the presence of Ca²⁺ aggravated significantly the RO membrane fouling caused by humic acid, with significant flux reduction and denser fouling layer on RO membrane, as it was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). However, after the pretreatment by ozone, the influence of Ca²⁺ was almost eliminated. Further analysis revealed that the addition of Ca²⁺ increased the particle size of humic acid solution significantly, while ozonation reduced the SUVA₂₅₄, particle size and molecular weight of the complexes of humic acid and Ca²⁺ (HA-Ca²⁺ complexes). According to these results and literature, the bridge effect of Ca²⁺ aggregating humic acid molecules and the cleavage effect of ozone breaking HA-Ca²⁺ complexes were summarized. The change of the structure of humic acid under the effect of Ca²⁺ and ozone is closely related to the change of its membrane fouling behavior.     

Simultaneously recovering electricity and water from wastewater by osmotic microbial fuel cells: Performance and membrane fouling

Since the concept of the osmotic microbial fuel cell (OsMFC) was introduced in 2011, it has attracted growing interests for its potential applications in wastewater treatment and energy recovery. However, forward osmosis (FO) membrane fouling resulting in a severe water flux decline remains a main obstacle. Until now, the fouling mechanisms of FO membrane especially the development of biofouling layer in the OsMFC are not yet clear. Here, the fouling behavior of FO membrane in OsMFCs was systematically investigated. The results indicated that a thick fouling layer including biofouling and inorganic fouling was existed on the FO membrane surface. Compared to the inorganic fouling, the biofouling played a more important role in the development of the fouling layer. Further analyses by the confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) implied that the growth of biofouling layer on the FO membrane surface in the OsMFC could be divided into three stages. Initially, microorganisms associated with ß-D-glucopyranose polysaccharides were deposited on the FO membrane surface. After that, the microorganisms grew into a biofilm caused a quick decrease of water flux. Subsequently, some of microorganisms were dead due to lack of nutrient source, in the meantime, polysaccharide and proteins in the biofouling layer were decomposed as nutrient source, thus leading to a slow development of the biofouling layer. Moreover, the microorganisms played a significant role in the formation and development of the biofouling layer, and further studies are needed to mitigate the deposition of microorganisms on FO membrane surfaces in OsMFCs.

Pilot study for the treatment of sodium and fluoride-contaminated groundwater by using high-pressure membrane systems

High-pressure membrane process is one of the cost-effective technologies for the treatment of groundwater containing excessive dissolved solids. This paper reports a pilot study in treating a typical groundwater in Huaibei Plain containing excessive sodium, sulfate and fluoride ions. Three membrane systems were set up and two brands of reverse osmosis (RO), four low-pressure RO (LPRO) and one tight nanofiltration (NF) membranes were tested under this pilot study. An apparent recovery rate at about 75% was adopted. Cartridge filtration, in combination with dosing antiscalent, was not sufficient to reduce the fouling potential of the raw water. All RO and LPRO systems (except for the two severely affected by membrane fouling) demonstrated similar rejection ratios of the conductivity (~98.5%), sodium (~98.5%) and fluoride (~99%). Membrane fouling substantially reduced the rejection performance of the fouled membranes. The tight NF membrane also had a good rejection on conductivity (95%), sodium (94%) and fluoride (95%). All membranes rejected sulfate ion almost completely (more than 99%). The electricity consumptions for the RO, LPRO and NF systems were 1.74, 1.10 and 0.72 kWh?m^-3 treated water, respectively. The estimated treatment costs by using typical RO, LPRO and tight NF membrane systems were 1.21, 0.98 and 0.96 CNY?m^-3 finished water, respectively. A treatment process consisting of either LPRO or tight NF facilities following multi-media filtration was suggested.
