Abstract
Catalytic membrane can achieve sieving separation and advanced oxidation simultaneously, which can improve the effluent water quality while reducing membrane fouling. In this study, the catalytic membranes (M2+Al@AM) were fabricated by loading different binary layered metal oxides (M2+Al-LMO: MnAl-LMO, CuAl-LMO and CoAl-LMO) on alumina ceramic substrate membranes (AM) via vacuum filtration followed by calcination process. The performance of the catalytic membranes was investigated by filtering actual surface water. It was found that the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) could mitigate membrane fouling effectively, as evidenced by the increase of normalized flux from 0.28 to 0.62 in CoAl@AM/PMS system, from 0.25 to 0.52 in CuAl@AM/PMS system, and from 0.22 to 0.31 in MnAl@AM/PMS system, respectively. Correspondingly, the CoAl@AM exhibited the highest removal for UV254, TOC and fluorescent components in the surface water, followed by CuAl@AM and MnAl@AM. Quenching effect of phenol and furfuryl alcohol proposed the surface-bound radicals and singlet oxygen were the major reactive oxygen species in the M2+Al@AM/PMS systems. Interface free energy calculations confirmed the in-situ PMS activation could enhance the repulsive interactions between NOM and the membranes, thus mitigating membrane fouling. This work provides an original but simple strategy for catalytic ceramic membrane preparation and new insights into the mechanism of membrane fouling mitigation in catalytic membrane system.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
