Abstract
Membrane technology has emerged as a crucial method for obtaining clean water from unconventional sources in the face of water scarcity. It finds wide applications in wastewater treatment, advanced treatment, and desalination of seawater and brackish water. However, membrane fouling poses a huge challenge that limits the development of membrane-based water treatment technologies. Characterizing the dynamics of membrane fouling is crucial for understanding its development, mechanisms, and effective mitigation. Instrumental techniques that enable in situ or real-time characterization of the dynamics of membrane fouling provide insights into the temporal and spatial evolution of fouling, which play a crucial role in understanding the fouling mechanism and the formulation of membrane control strategies. This review consolidates existing knowledge about the principal advanced instrumental analysis technologies employed to characterize the dynamics of membrane fouling, in terms of membrane structure, morphology, and intermolecular forces. Working principles, applications, and limitations of each technique are discussed, enabling researchers to select appropriate methods for their specific studies. Furthermore, prospects for the future development of dynamic characterization techniques for membrane fouling are discussed, underscoring the need for continued research and innovation in this field to overcome the challenges posed by membrane fouling.

Abstract
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) constitutes a useful tool in membrane science and technology because it provides valuable structural and functional information. The different arcs observed in the impedance spectra permit to decouple and understand distinct physico-chemical phenomena occurring under operating conditions. By using EIS techniques, we have characterized here multipore asymmetric membranes with conical pores that exhibit a broad range of ionic conduction properties, including current rectification. These properties can be modulated by tuning the electrical interaction between the charges functionalized on the pore surface and the nanoconfined ionic solution. In particular, the membrane electrical response is studied as a function of the amplitude and frequency of the external voltage signal, the electrolyte type and concentration, and the solution pH. Remarkably, significant chemical inductance effects are observed. The scalability and biocompatibility of these pores suggest good potential for use in hybrid biodevices and interfaces.

Abstract
Herein, the influence of various contents of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles and the comprehensive properties of PVDF/TiO2 composite membranes via the steric hindrance interaction was systematically explored. Hydrophilic PEG was employed as a dispersing surfactant of TiO2 nanoparticles in the pre-dispersion process and as a pore-forming additive in the following membrane preparation process. The slight overlap shown in the TEM image and low TSI value (<1) of the composite casting solution indicated the effective dispersion and stabilization under the steric interaction with a PEG content of 6 wt.%. Properties such as the surface pore size, the development of finger-like structures, permeability, hydrophilicity and Zeta potential were obviously enhanced. The improved antifouling performance between the membrane surface and foulants was corroborated by less negative free energy of adhesion (about −42.87 mJ/m2), a higher interaction energy barrier (0.65 KT) and low flux declination during the filtration process. The high critical flux and low fouling rate both in winter and summer as well as the long-term running operation in A/O-MBR firmly supported the elevated antifouling performance, which implies a promising application in the municipal sewage treatment field.

Abstract
Ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) are increasingly used in dialysis and electrodialysis processes for the extraction, fractionation and concentration of valuable components, as well as reagent-free control of liquid media pH in the food industry. Fouling of IEMs is specific compared to that observed in the case of reverse or direct osmosis, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and other membrane processes. This specificity is determined by the high concentration of fixed groups in IEMs, as well as by the phenomena inherent only in electromembrane processes, i.e., induced by an electric field. This review analyzes modern scientific publications on the effect of foulants (mainly typical for the dairy, wine and fruit juice industries) on the structural, transport, mass transfer, and electrochemical characteristics of cation-exchange and anion-exchange membranes. The relationship between the nature of the foulant and the structure, physicochemical, transport properties and behavior of ion-exchange membranes in an electric field is analyzed using experimental data (ion exchange capacity, water content, conductivity, diffusion permeability, limiting current density, water splitting, electroconvection, etc.) and modern mathematical models. The implications of traditional chemical cleaning are taken into account in this analysis and modern non-destructive membrane cleaning methods are discussed. Finally, challenges for the near future were identified.

Abstract
Electrodialysis (ED) was first established for water desalination and is still highly recommended in this field for its high water recovery, long lifetime and acceptable electricity consumption. Today, thanks to technological progress in ED processes and the emergence of new ion-exchange membranes (IEMs), ED has been extended to many other applications in the food industry. This expansion of uses has also generated several problems such as IEMs' lifetime limitation due to different ageing phenomena (because of organic and/or mineral compounds). The current commercial IEMs show excellent performance in ED processes; however, organic foulants such as proteins, surfactants, polyphenols or other natural organic matters can adhere on their surface (especially when using anion-exchange membranes: AEMs) forming a colloid layer or can infiltrate the membrane matrix, which leads to the increase in electrical resistance, resulting in higher energy consumption, lower water recovery, loss of membrane permselectivity and current efficiency as well as lifetime limitation. If these aspects are not sufficiently controlled and mastered, the use and the efficiency of ED processes will be limited since, it will no longer be competitive or profitable compared to other separation methods. In this work we reviewed a significant amount of recent scientific publications, research and reviews studying the phenomena of IEM fouling during the ED process in food industry with a special focus on the last decade. We first classified the different types of fouling according to the most commonly used classifications. Then, the fouling effects, the characterization methods and techniques as well as the different fouling mechanisms and interactions as well as their influence on IEM matrix and fixed groups were presented, analyzed, discussed and illustrated.

Abstract
Membrane fouling, which is caused by the deposition of particles on the membrane surface or pores, reduces system performance in membrane distillation (MD) applications, resulting in increased operational costs, poor recovery, and system failure. Optical Coherence Tomography enables in-situ foulant monitoring in both 2D and 3D, however, the 2D images can only determine fouling layer thickness in severe fouling. Therefore, in this study, an advanced 3D imaging analysis technique using intensity range filters was proposed to quantify fouling layer formation during MD through the use of a single 3D image. This approach not only reduces computational power requirements, but also successfully separated the fouling layer from the membrane at the microscale. Thus, the thickness, fouling index, and fouling layer coverage can be evaluated in real time. To test this approach, Polyvinylidene fluoride (C-PVDF) and polytetrafluoroethylene (C-PTFE) membranes were used to treat a feed consisting of industrial textile wastewater. Thin and disperse foulants was observed on the C-PTFE, with a 22 µm thick fouling layer which could not be observed using 2D images after 24 h. Moreover, the C-PTFE demonstrated better antifouling ability than the C-PVDF as demonstrated by its lower fouling index, which was also supported by surface energy characterization. This work demonstrates the significant potential of 3D imagery in the long-term monitoring of membrane fouling process to improve membrane antifouling performance in MD applications, which can lead to lowered operational costs and improved system stability.

New insight into quinones triggered ferrate in-situ synthesized polynuclear Fe-hydroxyl complex for enhancing interfacial adsorption in highly efficient removal of natural organic matter.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of quinone on the formation of in-situ synthesized polynuclear Fe-hydroxide (PnFe-H) from ferrate activation and enhanced degradation of organics were investigated by in-situ UV linear differential absorbance spectra for the first time. Results indicated benzoquinone (BQ) efficiently activated ferrate for the flocculation of humic acid (HA) that the flocculation reactions rate constants in Fe(VI)-0.1 mM BQ was 3.3 times as much as the blank. Interestingly, quenching studies suggested PnFe-H derived from the high-valence iron species which were the active components by BQ activation, was proved the vital factor for removing of HA. According to the analysis of interaction energy, BQ promoted FeOH2+ converted to Fe(OH)2+ and Fe2(OH)24+ which weakened the polar property and increased hydrophobicity of compounds, further benefited for adsorption with lower Lifshitz-van del Waals (LW) and Lewis acid-base (AB) interfacial energy between PnFe-H-contaminant compounds. However, excessive BQ reduced freshly particulate Fe(III) to Fe(II), weakened the PnFe-H flocculation performance which retarded the transformation of iron species. In addition, the effects of HA concentration were also studied due to the existent of functional quinone-like moieties. The contribution of PnFe-H flocculation removal on the total removal (Reflocculation/Retotal) improved from 2.6% to 17.09% with Fe(VI)/HA from 0.1 to 1.12. Fe(VI) sufficient oxidized electron-rich moieties and decreased the aromaticity due to π bond was broken, further cooperated with PnFe-H captured small fragment particles by sweep flocculation that Fe(VI) self-accelerating decay produced more Fe(III). The research elucidated a new insight into of ferrate activation by quinone which could expand our knowledge of activation pathway, further regulate the relationship between oxidation and flocculation for enhancing organic and colloidal particle removal in practical application.

Abstract
The broad possibilities of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for assessing the capacitance of interphase boundaries; the resistance and thickness of the foulant layer were shown by the example of AMX-Sb membrane contacted with red wine from one side and 0.02 M sodium chloride solution from the other side. This enabled us to determine to what extent foulants affect the electrical resistance of ion-exchange membranes, the ohmic resistance and the thickness of diffusion layers, the intensity of water splitting, and the electroconvection in under- and over-limiting current modes. It was established that short-term (10 h) contact of the AMX-Sb membrane with wine reduces the water-splitting due to the screening of fixed groups on the membrane surface by wine components. On the contrary, biofouling, which develops upon a longer membrane operation, enhances water splitting, due to the formation of a bipolar structure on the AMX-Sb surface. This bipolar structure is composed of a positively charged surface of anion-exchange membrane and negatively charged outer membranes of microorganisms. Using optical microscopy and microbiological analysis, it was found that more intense biofouling is observed on the AMX-Sb surface, that has not been in contacted with wine.

Abstract
Freshwater sources are limited and access to clean water is an acute challenge in recent decades. The sustainable water treatments methods are need of time and water desalination is one of the most interesting technology. Most desalination technologies are required high energy input while Microbial Desalination Cells (MDCs) represent a sustainable option that has added benefit of solving the ever-increasing wastewater treatment and management problem. MDCs are a customized type of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) that depend on the electric potential generated by organic media to decrease salt concentration by electro-dialysis and give an unconventional way of clean water production. In this research, various experiments were conducted to examine the desalination ability of an indigenously designed experimental setup using domestic wastewater inoculated with sewage sludge under identical conditions. The electrochemical properties of the system, comprising the polarization curve and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), were examined along with the scope of chemical oxygen demand (COD) exclusion, to distinguish the cell behaviour. Furthermore, acidic water and Phosphate Buffer Solution (PBS) were tested as potential catholytes compared to the performance of the wastewater was gauged at various salt concentrations. The maximum salt removal efficiency was 31%, power density and current density were 32 mW-m-2 and 246 mA-m-2 respectively at a salt concentration of 35 g-L-1 that decreases with a decline in salt concentration. The maximum achieved power density and current density were 32 mW-m-2 and 246 mA-m-2 respectively. The applied method has huge potential to scaleup for large scale application in coastal regions.

Abstract
Cross-flow microfiltration, using a microporous membrane, is a well-established technique for wine clarification in oenology because of its cost-effectiveness and high-throughput. However, membrane fouling remains a significant issue for wine filtration in high-throughput systems. Herein, an approach for in situ real-time monitoring of fouling in filtration systems using a conductive filtration membrane and a model fluid for filtration is reported. The membrane is fabricated by embedding poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) into an electrospun sulfonated polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene microporous membrane, producing a conductive microfiltration membrane. Measurement of the resistance of the conductive membrane during filtration with the fouling solutions containing pectin, as one of the major foulants in unfiltered wine and pre-fermentation grape juice, shows a time- and concentration-dependent response. This work opens a door to new methodology for in situ monitoring of fouling processes in wine and juice filtration systems.
