Abstract
Coagulation pretreatment has become indispensable for low-pressure membrane processes, together forming a cost-effective and efficient water treatment solution, particularly beneficial for developing economies. A critical techno-economic evaluation of advanced hybridization of the traditional coagulation ultrafiltration (CUF) process to overcome its limitations and address emerging challenges in the field is presented in this review. Confusion persists regarding nomenclature, process selection, and categorization of such hybrid treatment processes. This study seeks to critically review and organize recent works shaping the outlook of fifteen key hybrid CUF processes to establish a systematic framework within the seemingly disordered array of recent literature. Key factors influencing the combined C + UF process are analyzed, opportunities are identified, and effective strategies for integration are proposed. Future research may prioritize the investigation of underexplored parameters such as sustainability metrics, toxic by-product formation potential (TBP-FP), pulse dosing strategies, intralayer floc charge distribution, temperature-superparamagnetism, interfacial free energy, specific gas nanobubbles, tailored hybrid flocculants, and scalability. This review highlights the cascading influence of several such factors on hybrid CUF system performance and aims to delineate pathways for advancing system efficiency, sustainability, and adaptability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
