Retention of Silica Nanoparticles in a Lab-Scale Membrane Bioreactor: Implications for Process Performance and Membrane Fouling
In conventional activated sludge (CAS) involving aerobic biological processes, the retention of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) has no detrimental effect on chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3–N) removal. However, for the membrane bioreactor (MBR) system, which is also based on the activated sludge process in addition to the membrane separation process, it has implications no...
متن کاملMicrobial Transformation of Biomacromolecules in a Membrane Bioreactor: Implications for Membrane Fouling Investigation
BACKGROUND The complex characteristics and unclear biological fate of biomacromolecules (BMM), including colloidal and soluble microbial products (SMP), extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and membrane surface foulants (MSF), are crucial factors that limit our understanding of membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). FINDINGS In this study, the microbial transformation of BMM was...
متن کاملMembrane fouling in a submerged membrane bioreactor: effect of pH and its implications.
The effect of pH on membrane fouling in a submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) was investigated in this study. It was found that, pH increase slightly increased the resistance of virgin membrane and fouled membrane. Pore clogging resistance was quite low, which was not apparently affected by the pH variation. Lower pH resulted in higher adherence of sludge flocs on membrane surface. Thermodynami...
متن کاملThermodynamic analysis of membrane fouling in a submerged membrane bioreactor and its implications.
The thermodynamic interactions between membrane and sludge flocs in a submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) were investigated. It was found that Lewis acid-base (AB) interaction predominated in the total interactions. The interaction energy composition of membrane-sludge flocs combination was quite similar to that of membrane-bovine serum albumin (BSA) combination, indicating the critical role of...
متن کاملThe Study of Organic Removal Efficiency and Membrane Fouling in a Submerged Membrane Bioreactor Treating Vegetable Oil Wastewater
The characterizations of vegetable oil wastewater (VOW) are unpleasant odor, dark color, and high organic contents, including large amounts of oil and grease (O&G), chemical oxygen demand (COD), fatty acids and lipids. Therefore, VOWs should be treated efficiently to avoid the environment pollution. The aim of present study was the investigation of VOW biological treatment using membrane biorea...
