Perfluorooctanoic acid-contaminated wastewater treatment by forward osmosis: Performance analysis.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a persistent compound, raising considerable global apprehension due to its resistance to breakdown and detrimental impacts on human health and aquatic environments. Pressure-driven membrane technologies treating PFAS-contaminated water are expensive and prone to fouling. This study presented a parametric investigation of the effectiveness of cellulose triacetate membrane in the forward osmosis (FO) membrane for removing PFOA from an aqueous solution. The study examined the influence of membrane orientation modes, feed pH, draw solution composition and concentration, and PFOA concentration on the performance of FO. The experimental results demonstrated that PFOA rejection was 99 % with MgCl2 and slightly >98 % with NaCl draw solutions due to the mechanism of PFOA binding to the membrane surface through Mg2+ ions. This finding highlights the crucial role of the draw solution's composition in PFOA treatment. Laboratory results revealed that membrane rejection of PFOA was 99 % at neutral and acidic pH levels but decreased to 95 % in an alkaline solution at pH 9. The decrease in membrane rejection is attributed to the dissociation of the membrane's functional groups, consequently causing pore swelling. The results were confirmed by calculating the average pore radius of the CTA membrane, which increased from 27.94 nm at pH 5 to 30.70 nm at pH 9. Also, variations in the PFOA concentration from 5 to 100 mg/L did not significantly impact the membrane rejection, indicating the process's capability to handle a wide range of PFOA concentrations. When seawater was the draw solution, the FO membrane rejected 99 % of PFOA concentrations ranging from 5 mg/L to 100 mg/L. The CTA FO treating PFOA-contaminated wastewater from soil remediation achieved a 90 % recovery rate and water flux recovery of 96.5 % after cleaning with DI water at 40 °C, followed by osmotic backwash. The results suggest the potential of using abundant and cost-effective natural solutions in the FO process, all without evident membrane fouling.
期刊介绍:
The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.
The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
