Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of industry and modern society, wastewater treatment has become an urgent problem that must be solved. New methods of wastewater treatment and reuse are also needed for sustainable development from a social point of view. Membrane technology is one of the most effective and commonly used technologies for wastewater treatment. Therefore, the current Special Issue will collect and share innovative solutions developed in the field of Advanced Treatment of Sewage with Membrane.

Within this context, we would like to invite you to contribute to this issue and to disseminate and share findings, which will contribute to environmental protection and water resource recycling and utilization. In particular, the submission of research articles, case studies, and review articles related but not limited to the following topics is encouraged:

  • Membrane bioreactor or anaerobic membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment
  • Water reuse technology with membrane using MF/UF/NF/RO/FO etc.
  • Decentralized sewage treatment with membrane
  • Membrane fouling control
  • Biofilm-related research on membranes
  • Membrane fabrication and modification

The secondary effluent of the wastewater treatment plant is considered as one of the reused water sources and needs advanced treatment to meet increasingly stringent water treatment standards. Ultrafiltration, as one of the most widely used advanced treatment technologies, is limited due to membrane fouling, and coagulation and pre-oxidation have received extensive attention as pretreatment methods to alleviate membrane fouling. This research proposes a new method of Fe(II)-activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) coagulation and a pre-oxidation system coupled with ultrafiltration (UF) to treat secondary effluent from sewage plants, separately evaluating the treatment effect under different molar ratios of Fe(II)/PMS. The Fe(II)/PMS decontamination mechanism and membrane fouling control effect were elucidated through pollutant removal efficiency, membrane morphology, membrane flux trend, and membrane fouling resistance distribution. According to the experimental results, the optimal effect of organic matter removal and membrane fouling mitigation was achieved at the Fe(II)/PMS dosage of 60/60 μM/μM (molar ratio 1:1). The efficiency of pretreatment methods in removing organics and fluorescent components and mitigating membrane fouling followed the order of Fe(II)/PMS > Fe(III) > inactivated PMS. Fe(II)/PMS could produce a synergistic effect in a high concentration state (60 μM), relying on the dual effects of coagulation and oxidation to alleviate membrane fouling. Coagulation and pre-oxidation by Fe(II)/PMS significantly reduced the clogging of membrane pores and the proportion of irreversible resistance, effectively controlling membrane fouling and improving effluent quality. SEM images further confirmed its effectiveness, and EPR results unequivocally indicated that its synergistic mechanism was mediated by •OH and SO4•−. The research results can provide ideas for advanced wastewater treatment and secondary effluent reuse. Full article

Fluoride pollution frequently occurs in many underground drinking water sources due to discrepancies in the geological environment. To address this problem, a manganese-supported activated alumina (MnOOH-supported AA) adsorbent was proposed in the present study. The adsorbent was prepared with an impregnation method, then the morphology and microstructure were systematically characterized. Further, the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics were systematically explored through static experiments to confirm the adsorption mechanism. The results showed that MnOOH was successfully loaded on the activated alumina (AA), and irregular and convex spinous structures were formed on the surface of particles. Compared with the AA, MnOOH-supported AA exhibited a significantly higher defluoridation rate, which has been doubled. The kinetic behavior of fluoride adsorption on MnOOH-supported AA was governed by the quasi-second-order kinetics model with regression coefficients of 0.9862, 0.9978 and 0.9956, respectively. The adsorption rate was mainly ascribed to the intra-particle diffusion. Additionally, the Freundlich isotherm equation fitted the adsorption thermodynamic process reasonably well compared with the Langmuir adsorption model. Specifically, the correlation coefficients were 0.9614, 0.9383 and 0.9852 at 25 °C, 35 °C and 45 °C, respectively. The adsorption–desorption isotherm plot was similar to the Type V isotherm. The whole fluoride adsorption was a spontaneous endothermic reaction, and controlled by chemical adsorption. These results demonstrated that MnOOH-supported AA as an alternative to the conventional AA showed promising potential for defluoridation in drinking water treatment. Full article

Water serves as an indispensable part of human life and production. On account of the overexploitation of traditional water sources, the demand for wastewater recycling is expanding rapidly. As a promising water treatment process, membrane distillation (MD) has been utilized in various wastewater treatments, such as desalination brine, textile wastewater, radioactive wastewater, and oily wastewater. This review summarized the investigation work applying MD in wastewater treatment, and the performance was comprehensively introduced. Moreover, the obstructions of industrialization, such as membrane fouling, membrane wetting, and high energy consumption, were discussed with the practical investigation. To cope with these problems, various strategies have been adopted to enhance MD performance, including coupling membrane processes and developing membranes with specific surface characteristics. In addition, the significance of nutrient recovery and waste heat utilization was indicated. Full article
