We demonstrate that the fate of emerging trace organic contaminants during membrane bioreactor (MBR) treatment can be qualitatively predicted by assessing their molecular properties. This work futher expands the qualitative framework for the prdiction of trace organic removal by MBR treatment reported in our recent study.

Changes In Surface Properties And Separation Efficiency Of A Nanofiltration Membrane After Repeated Fouling And Chemical Cleaning Cycles, Alexander Simon, William E. Price, Long D. Nghiem
William E. Price
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in membrane surface properties and solute separation by a nanofiltration membrane during repetitive membrane fouling and chemical cleaning. Secondary treated effluent and model fouling solutions containing humic acids, sodium alginate, or silica colloids were used to simulate membrane fouling. Chemical cleaning was carried out using a commercially available caustic cleaning formulation. Carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole were selected to examine the filtration behaviour of neutral and negatively charged organic compounds, respectively. Results show that the impact of membrane fouling on solute rejection is governed by pore blocking, modification of the membrane surface …

Influence Of Formulated Chemical Cleaning Reagents On The Surface Properties And Separation Efficiency Of Nanofiltration Membranes, Alexander Simon, William E. Price, Long D. Nghiem
Influence Of Formulated Chemical Cleaning Reagents On The Surface Properties And Separation Efficiency Of Nanofiltration Membranes, Alexander Simon, William E. Price, Long D. Nghiem
Long D Nghiem
This study investigated the impact of two caustic and one acidic cleaning formulations (namely MC11, PC98, and MC3, respectively) on the properties and separation efficiency of three different nanofiltration (NF) membranes (namely NF270, NF90 and TFC-SR100). Overall, the impact of chemical cleaning on surface properties and rejection was membrane and cleaning reagent specific. It was driven mostly by conformational changes of the membrane polymeric active skin layer in response to an extreme caustic or acidic environment and to a certain extent by the adsorption of cleaning additives (e.g., surfactants and chelating reagents). The influence of chemical cleaning on the membrane …
