Abstract
The osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) is a novel wastewater treatment and resource recovery technology combining forward osmosis (FO) and membrane bioreactor. It has attracted attention for its low energy consumption and high contaminant removal performance. However, in the long-term operation, OMBR faces the problem of salt accumulation due to high salt rejection and reverse salt flux, which affects microbial activity and contaminants removal efficiency. This review analyzed the feasibility of screening salt-tolerant microorganisms and determining salinity thresholds to improve the salt tolerance of OMBR. Combined with recent research, the inhibition strategies for salt accumulation were reviewed, including the draw solution, FO membrane, operating conditions and coupling with other systems. It is hoped to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the further development of OMBR. Finally, future research directions were prospected. This review provides new insights for achieving stable operation of OMBR and promotes its wide application.
