“…However, addressing these challenges of MF is the use of a UF ceramic membrane. Quite a number of literature have reported the application of UF for emulsified oily wastewater [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Oily wastewater separation processes still possess the challenge of flux decline which can be attributed to fouling of UF ceramic membranes, and thereby limits their economic viability [30].…”

This research aimed to investigate the ultrafiltration of water from emulsified oily wastewater through the application of surface-functionalized ceramic membrane to enhance its water permeability based on optimized parameters using a cross-flow filtration system. The interactive effects of feed concentration (10–1000 ppm), pH (4–10), and pressure (0–3 bar) on the water flux and oil rejection were investigated. Central composite design (CCD) from response surface methodology (RSM) was employed for statistical analysis, modeling, and optimization of operating conditions. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that the oil rejection and water flux models were significant with p-values of 0.0001 and 0.0075, respectively. In addition, good correlation coefficients of 0.997 and 0.863 were obtained for the oil rejection and water flux models, respectively. The optimum conditions for pressure, pH, and feed concentration were found to be 1.5 bar, pH 8.97, and 10 ppm, respectively with water flux and oil rejection maintained at 152 L/m2·h and 98.72%, respectively. Hence, the functionalized ultrafiltration ceramic membrane enables the separation efficiency of the emulsified oil in water to be achieved.

“…More significantly, the GO@SiO 2 membrane has good purification and cycle stability, making it ideal for industrial emulsion treatment (permeability recovery rate of 84.01%). As the most important target of membrane separation, the inadequacy of permeability and anti-fouling frequently limits the application of the membrane in actual oily wastewater [110]. Feng et al [111] proposed a novel concept of membrane surface construction to mitigate this intractable problem, using SiO2 as the support layer and GO as the isolation layer (Figure 18).…”

Review of New Approaches for Fouling Mitigation in Membrane Separation Processes in Water Treatment Applications

This review investigates antifouling agents used in the process of membrane separation (MS), in reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), microfiltration (MF), membrane distillation (MD), and membrane bioreactors (MBR), and clarifies the fouling mechanism. Membrane fouling is an incomplete substance formed on the membrane surface, which will quickly reduce the permeation flux and damage the membrane. Foulant is colloidal matter: organic matter (humic acid, protein, carbohydrate, nano/microplastics), inorganic matter (clay such as potassium montmorillonite, silica salt, metal oxide, etc.), and biological matter (viruses, bacteria and microorganisms adhering to the surface of the membrane in the case of nutrients) The stability and performance of the tested nanometric membranes, as well as the mitigation of pollution assisted by electricity and the cleaning and repair of membranes, are reported. Physical, chemical, physico-chemical, and biological methods for cleaning membranes. Biologically induced biofilm dispersion effectively controls fouling. Dynamic changes in membrane foulants during long-term operation are critical to the development and implementation of fouling control methods. Membrane fouling control strategies show that improving membrane performance is not only the end goal, but new ideas and new technologies for membrane cleaning and repair need to be explored and developed in order to develop future applications.

“…Treatment of oily wastewater is commonly required in oilfields and chemical processes. , Because of the intrinsic hydrophilic characteristics, macroporous ceramic membrane supports can be directly adopted to remove the oil phase in oily wastewater . On the basis of the desired features, such as the uniform surface pores and holey interior structure, the ceramic membrane supports prepared at 1400 °C were used to treat the synthetic oily wastewater samples with different concentrations.…”

Porous ceramic membrane supports with high mechanical strength and permeation are required for highly permeable ceramic membranes. The water permeation of a ceramic membrane support is largely dependent on its level of open porosity, which can be however generally detrimental to the mechanical strength. In this work, low-cost kaolin nanoflakes were rationally composited with coarse alumina particles, and multichannel flat-sheet ceramic supports were successfully fabricated by extrusion and subsequent partial sintering. The macroscopic properties, microstructure characteristics, permeability, and mechanical strength of the ceramic membrane supports were systematically established and comprehensively studied. The incorporation of kaolin nanoflakes effectively reduced the sintering temperature to about 1200 °C. An interesting evolution of the pore structure was evidenced with the increase in sintering temperature. Interestingly, the porous ceramic supports prepared at 1400 °C with a nominal pore size of 1.47 μm showed the highest water permeability of 9911.9 ± 357.5 LMHB, and at the same time the flexural strength reached 109.6 ± 4.6 MPa. The much improved permeability was attributed to the unique multilevel pore structures, and the enhanced flexural strength mainly originated from the strongly interfacial bonding, as evidenced by the trans-granular fracture behavior. Also, the ceramic membrane supports exhibited excellent chemical resistance and good removal efficiency for oily wastewater. This work highlights the significant role of interfacial engineering in simultaneously improving the water permeation and mechanical strength, thereby overcoming their trade-off in porous ceramic membrane supports.
