The effects of feed solution pH and membrane orientation on water flux and the rejection of carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole were investigated using a bench scale forward osmosis (FO) system. Water flux was pH-dependent in both membrane orientations. In addition, water flux increased while the specific reverse salt flux and hydrogen ion flux decreased with increasing feed solution pH. Water flux was lower in the normal FO mode compared to that in the pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) mode because osmotic pressure differential was reduced due to the internal concentration polarisation (ICP) phenomenon. The rejection of neutral carbamazepine was generally pH independent …

Acidic groundwater generated from acid sulphate soil (ASS) is a major geo-environmental problem in Australia. A permeable reactive barrier (PRB) with recycled concrete aggregates as the reactive material has received considerable attention as an innovative, cost effective technology for passive treatment of acidic groundwater in ASS terrain. Laboratory column experiments conducted at the University of Wollongong investigated the acid neutralisation behaviour of recycled concrete and its potential to remove dissolved aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe). The recycled concrete effectively treated the acidic groundwater, resulting in near-neutral effluent pH and complete removal of Al and Fe. However, armouring of the concrete …
Fouling In Greywater Recycling By Direct Ultrafiltration, Long Nghiem, Andrea Schaefer, Nadine Oschmann
Fouling In Greywater Recycling By Direct Ultrafiltration, Long Nghiem, Andrea Schaefer, Nadine Oschmann

Greywater is no doubt a valuable resource that can be used to alleviate water shortage and increase water conservation in individual households. It is particularly important for arid and semi-arid regions like Australia. Treated greywater can also be used for many activities within the household such as toilet flushing, garden watering, car washing, or pavement cleansing. This study examines the fouling behaviour of submerged ultrafiltration membranes in greywater recycling under concentration variation of common greywater constituents. The results indicate that the use of ultrafiltration directly for greywater recycling in individual households is promising. As expected, increase in particulate matter concentration …

Results reported here highlight the potential and several challenges in the development of a novel osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) process for the treatment of municipal wastewater. Following the initial gradual decline, a stable permeate flux value was obtained after approximately four days of continuous operation. There was evidence of continuous deterioration of biological activity of the OMBR system, possibly due to the build-up of salinity in the reactor. The removal of 25 out of 27 trace organic compounds with molecular weight higher than 266 g/mol was above 80% and was possibly governed by the interplay between physical separation of the …
