Differences in the Effect of Mn 2+ on the Reverse Osmosis Membrane Fouling Caused by Different Types of Organic Matter: Experimental and Density Functional Theory Evidence. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:823. [PMID: 37887995 PMCID: PMC10608961 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13100823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
Landfill leachate from some sites contains a high concentration of Mn2+, which may cause reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling during RO treatment. In this study, the effect of Mn2+ on RO membrane fouling caused by typical organic pollutants (humic acid (HA), protein (BSA), and sodium alginate (SA)) was systematically investigated, and it was found that Mn2+ exacerbates RO membrane fouling caused by HA, SA, and HBS (mixture of HA + BSA + SA). When the Mn2+ concentration was 0.5 mM and 0.05 mM separately, the membrane fouling caused by HA and SA began to become significant. On the other hand, with for HBS fouling only, the water flux decreased significantly by about 21.7% and further decreased with an increasing Mn2+ concentration. However, Mn2+ has no direct effect on BSA. The effect degrees to which Mn2+ affected RO membrane fouling can be expressed as follows: HBS > SA > HA > BSA. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations also gave the same results. In modeling the reaction of the complexation of Mn2+ with the carboxyl group in these four types of organic matter, BSA has the highest energy (-55.7 kJ/mol), which predicts that BSA binding to Mn2+ is the most unstable compared to other organic matter. The BSA carboxylate group also has the largest bond length (2.538-2.574 Å) with Mn2+ and the weakest interaction force, which provides a theoretical basis for controlling RO membrane fouling exacerbated by Mn2+.

Abstract
Jurong Formation underlies part of Southern Johor Bahru which comprises well cemented and consolidated volcanic-sedimentary rocks. The study aims to assess quality and hydrogeochemistry of rock aquifer in Jurong Formation at Southern Johor Bahru which is mainly overlain by rhyolitic tuff. It also evaluates the differences in quality and hydrogeochemistry of rhyolitic tuff aquifer found in source and floodplain zones of South-West Johor Rivers Basin. In this study, a total of nine samples from four wells, namely TW1-TW4, were collected at foothills of Gunung Pulai (TW1) and Iskandar Puteri (TW2-TW4) in Southern Johor Bahru. The samples were examined for physiochemical parameters. The groundwater in the study area is fresh and non-saline with hardness of soft to hard. The pH of groundwater in source zone is significantly higher than in floodplain zone. Meanwhile, the hardness of groundwater in source zone is significantly lower than in other deep wells in floodplain zone as more calcite mineral is present. The concentration of manganese, iron and zinc is lower at source zone than floodplain zone. Three facies of water types were encountered during the study such as CaNaHCO3 in TW2, CaHCO3 in TW1 and TW3 and CaCl2 in TW4. The deep wells in floodplain zone are susceptible to saline intrusion. Finally, the groundwater quality in the study area is found to control by rock weathering especially silicates and carbonates, rainfall and proximity to seawater. This suggests the major control on groundwater chemistry is due to leaching of volcanic rocks and dissolution on calcite infillings. In conclusion, the groundwater is clean and safe in general although pH value is slightly acidic closer to straits and magnesium's presence in higher concentration at TW2.

Abstract
Rice husk was converted into activated carbon (AC) as a byproduct of agricultural waste in an electric furnace at 700 °C and chemically activated using three distinct processes: NaOH AC(C), acetic acid AC(C-1), phosphoric acid AC(C-2), and carbonization AC(C-3) without any chemical activation. To characterize the activated carbon and the removal efficiencies of Fe(III) and Mn(II) from aqueous solutions, various analytical tools were used. The results revealed that the capacities of the four adsorbents to adsorb Fe(III) or Mn(II) from an aqueous solution differ significantly. AC(C-3) was chosen for additional research. The impact of different operational factors, including pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, starting metal ion concentration, interfering ions, and temperature, were investigated. The optimum pH values for Fe(III) and Mn(II) adsorption were found to be pH 3 and pH 6, respectively. The results obtained were utilized to assess the kinetics and thermodynamics of the adsorption process. The sorption of Fe(III) and Mn(II) ions was found to be a pseudo-second-order kinetic process, and the equilibrium data were fitted with the Langmuir isotherm. Additionally, the evidence suggests that an endothermic mechanism governs the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacities of Fe(III) and Mn(II) were 28.9 and 73.47 mg/g, respectively.

Effects of organics concentration on the gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration in treating iron- and manganese-containing surface water. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 226:119223.

Abstract
Iron and manganese contamination in the surface water is posing great challenges to the drinking water treatment supply, especially in the complex cases of organics involvement. Gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration equipped with the dual functions of ultrafiltration and biocake layer, conferred promising potentials in the removals of iron and manganese. This study evaluated the effects of organics concentrations on the removal performance of iron and manganese, as well as on the flux stabilization during GDM long-term filtration. The results indicated that stable flux level and the removal efficiency of manganese initially increased with the increase of organics concentration in the feed water, and then decreased. The moderate concentration of organic compounds in the feed water would positively facilitate the microbial activities and benefit to engineering a heterogeneous and porous biocake layer on the membrane surface, contributing to the highest improvements of stable flux (6.3 L m-2 h-1), while high concentration of organic compounds in the feed water would result in the increase in the thickness and EPS concentration of the biocake layer, leading to a flux reduction. Furthermore, the moderate concentration of organic compounds in the feed water was also beneficial to the manganese removal (> 94.6%) due to the more accumulation of auto-catalytic oxidation manganese oxides (MnOx) within the biocake layer and the improved biological degradation, however, further increase of organics concentration would deliver a negative impact on the manganese removal owing to the wrapping of MnOx by the organic substances. Overall, these findings provide practical and acceptable strategies to the selections of pre-treatments prior to GDM and promote its extensive application in treating the iron- and manganese-containing surface water.

Abstract
Effective water purification technologies are required to remove emerging contaminants (ECs) and prevent their extensive occurrence in rural areas. In this work, coupling gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration with biogenic manganese oxides (BioMnOx) in the biofouling layer was utilized for treating water containing SMX. Comparisons between BioMnOx-GDM (with BioMnOx) and Control-GDM (without BioMnOx) indicated that BioMnOx could significantly promote the removal of DOC, NH4+-N, and fluorescent pollutants due to its strong oxidating capacity and high biological activity. The formation of BioMnOx increased the abundance of SMX-degrading bacteria, enriched the metabolic pathway and mineralization rate of SMX, and effectively promoted the remove of SMX. More importantly, BioMnOx facilitated the removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the GDM, because it increased the link between microorganisms and reduced the concentration of SMX, thus reduced the expression of ARGs. LB-EPS played an important role in the membrane fouling. Compared with the Control-GDM, the concentration of LB-EPS in BioMnOx-GDM decreased, which was beneficial to alleviate membrane fouling. Although a thicker biofouling layer (1774.88 μm vs.775.54 μm) was formed in BioMnOx-GDM, the biofilm with higher porosity (64.93% vs. 41.24%) had a more positive effect on the flux. Overall, BioMnOx could improve the pollutant removal and stable flux level of the GDM system. BioMnOx-GDM effectively avoided the risks brought by ECs and ensured water safety in rural areas.

Abstract
The occurrence of emerging contaminants is attracting widespread attention due to its potential threat to aquatic organisms and public health. Gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration can effectively eliminate water contamination with pathogenic microorganisms in rural areas while being challenged by various micro-pollutants (MPs). This study investigated the removal and transformation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in GDM for the first time, and pre-adding acclimated activated sludge was proposed to improve the removal of MPs. More rapid and higher SMX degradation was observed with pre-adding domestication sludge, and the system had better tolerance to SMX shocks. Besides, in the presence of domesticated sludge, more SMX metabolic pathways and better mineralization rates were obtained, which was related to more SMX-resistant bacteria and easier biodegradable carbon sources in the system. Pre-adding sludge also increased the richness and diversity of bacterial community, which provided higher removal efficiencies of conventional pollutants. Thus, the removal rates of DOC (14.7%), NH4+-N (5.6%) and fluorescent substances were obviously improved compared with the control group. In this study, the crisis of MPs was tackled and the removal of conventional pollutants was enhanced by pre-adding domesticated sludge in GDM, which ensured the water quality in rural areas.

Abstract
In remote areas, low-pressure ultrafiltration membrane (LPM) systems can be applied in decentralized water supplies for the treatment of groundwater containing Fe2+, Mn2+, and NH4+. However, improving the performance of the LPM systems, such as the stable flux and removal capacity, presents a challenge. In this study, a novel opposite-flow low-pressure ultrafiltration membrane (O-LPM) system was applied, and its performance was evaluated. Experimental results showed that after 46 days of operation, the steady flux of the O-LPM systems were 1.87-fold and 1.74-fold higher than that of the conventional D-LPM systems under Mn2+ concentration of 0.3 mg L-1 and 1.5 mg L-1, respectively. With a mixed pollutant system containing Fe2+ (0.5 mg L-1), Mn2+ (0.3 mg L-1), and NH4+ (1.0 mg L-1), the O-LPM-ripening period for Mn2+ removal was shortened from 16 days to 8 days, and the NH4+ removal efficiency was increased from 61.46% to 80.97%. The bio-cake layer in the O-LPM systems was thinner and had a higher uniformity than in the D-LPM systems, resulting in a larger stable flux range. The relative abundance of functional bacteria (MnOB, IOB, and NOB) was generally higher in O-LPM systems than in the D-LPM systems. Overall, these results are of high relevance for groundwater treatment in remote areas, providing guidance for the widespread application of the O-LPM system in decentralized water supplies.

Abstract
Preoxidation-ultrafiltration process is an effective method for Fe2+ and Mn2+removal, in which Fe2+ (Mn2+) are firstly oxidized to FeOx (MnOx), then collected by the ultrafiltration membrane. However, the simultaneous presence of Fe2+, Mn2+, and organics in feed can cause severe membrane fouling, which inhibits the overall performance of this method prominently. In this study, a novel FeOx+MnOx+H2O2 membrane cleaning method is proposed based on the idea of turning in-situ generated membrane foulants, i.e., FeOx+MnOx, into the catalysts for membrane cleaning. The results demonstrate that the FeOx+MnOx+H2O2 system can achieve more than 95% membrane flux recovery and remove almost all irreversible membrane foulants within only 5 min and with only 0.5%wt% H2O2 solution. The outstanding performance of the system is mainly attributed to the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 to generate both highly reactive radicals, such as hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and abundant oxygen. In addition, when the membrane is loaded by only MnOx, polyaluminium chloride (PAC) as the coagulator demonstrates prominent influence on the performance of membrane cleaning. However, PAC makes almost no contribution to membrane cleaning when the membrane is loaded by FeOx. This is because coagulation induced by PAC exerts more prominent impact on the particle size distribution of MnOx than that of FeOx. In conclusion, the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 by in-situ generated FeOx+MnOx is a promising advanced oxidation process to achieve outstanding membrane cleaning performance under the condition of low H2O2 concentration and no extra dosage of catalysts. The novel membrane cleaning system exhibits high potential for the practical membrane treatment processes to treat water with high contents of Fe and Mn.

Abstract
Low-cost gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration has the potential to efficiently manage highly decentralized shale gas wastewater (SGW). In this work, the feasibility of combining low dosage pre-ozonation with the GDM process was evaluated in the treatment of SGW. The results showed that pre-ozonation significantly increased the stable flux (372%) of GDM filtration, while slightly deteriorating the quality of the effluent water in terms of organic content (-14%). These results were mainly attributed to the conversion of macromolecular organics to low-molecular weight fractions by pre-ozonation. Interestingly, pre-ozonation markedly increased the flux (198%) in the first month of operation also for a GDM process added with granular activated carbon (GGDM). Nevertheless, the flux of O3-GGDM systems dropped sharply around the 25th day of operation, which might be due to the rapid accumulation of pollutants in the high flux stage and the formation of a dense fouling layer. Pre-ozonation remarkably influenced the microbial community structure. And O3-GDM systems were characterized by distinct core microorganisms, which might degrade specific organics in SGW. Furthermore, O3-GDM outperformed simple GDM as a pretreatment for RO. These findings can provide valuable references for combining oxidation technologies with the GDM process in treating refractory wastewater.
