“…Moreover, fouling leads to a reduction in membrane lifetime and permeate quality as well as an increase in operation costs [ 18 ]. It has been widely documented that fouling is influenced by several factors, for instance, feed–membrane surface interaction, membrane pore size and surface charge and oil content, as well as process conditions [ 19 , 20 ].…”

The past decade has seen a rise in the importance of the ultrafiltration (UF) technique in the separation of various complex solutions. However, the fouling phenomenon is the main limitation to faster process development. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the present paper is the first to aim to identify the role of corrosion fouling in long-term UF. For this purpose, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were used. The investigations were carried out with the use of both pilot-scale and laboratory-scale units. Results obtained in the present study have clearly demonstrated that the oil concentration has a significant impact on the process performance. Indeed, it has been noted that a reduction in oil concentration from 160 to 100 mg/L resulted in an increase in the PVDF membrane flux from 57 to 77 L/m2h. In addition, it has been shown that the feed temperature has a significant influence on the UF performance. Importantly, it has been shown that corrosion fouling is of vital importance in UF membranes. Indeed, corrosion products such as iron oxides contaminated the membrane surface leading to an irreversible decrease in the UF process performance. In addition, it has been found that repeating the chemical cleaning of the membrane units significantly reduced the intensity of the fouling phenomenon. However, the complete elimination of its effects was not achieved. Therefore, it has been indicated that cleaning agents recommended by membrane manufacturers do not remove corrosion products deposited on the membrane surface. Undoubtedly, the obtained results can be used in the design of UF units leading to the extension of membrane installation lifetime.

“…8 Therefore, selective recovery of La(III) ions and separation of oils from rare-earth smelting wastewater are of great significance to the sustainable development of rareearth industry and environment protection. In addition, a large number of methods such as precipitation, 9 filtration, 10 adsorption, 11 membrane separation, 12 combustion, 13 and reverse osmosis have been reported for the treatment of complex pollutants containing soluble metal ions and insoluble oils. Among these methods, adsorption is regarded as an outstanding approach owing to its easy operation, convenience, and effectiveness.…”

In this study, polyaminophosphoric acid (PA)functionalized ion-imprinted chitosan (CS) aerogel was fabricated for the first time, exhibiting good antibacterial property for selective La(III) recovery and oil/water separation. The as-prepared PA-CS-IIA-2 shows a remarkable adsorption capacity of 114.6 mg/g toward La(III) and high selectivity in the competitive adsorption systems, which is attributed to its abundant imprinting sites and surface functional groups. Benefiting from the amphiphilic property, the PA-CS-IIA-2 also exhibits an excellent adsorption performance for the extractant, oils, and organic solvents. Besides, the PA-CS-IIA-2 presents excellent regeneration and reusability characteristics. Moreover, compared with CS, the PA-CS-IIA-2 exhibits a significantly improved antibacterial activity originating from the PA component. Most importantly, the PA-CS-IIA-2 aerogel is capable of removing multiple pollutants all together and effectively inhibiting bacteria in the complex wastewater environments. Therefore, this study paves the way for developing high-performance rare-earth capture materials with multiple functions to meet diverse applications.

Membrane fouling remains a key challenge for membrane separations. Hydrophilic membrane surface modification can mitigate irreversible foulant deposition, thereby improving fouling resistance. We report new hydrophilic membrane coatings based on 1,4-benzoquinone and various commercially available polyetheramines. These coatings, prepared from 1,4-benzoquinone and Jeffamine EDR 148, poly(benzoquinone-Jeffamine EDR 148) (p(BQ-EDR 148)), were used to modify polysulfone (PS) ultrafiltration membranes. In fouling experiments using an oil/water emulsion, membranes exhibited comparable fouling resistance to that of polydopamine (pDA)-modified membranes. Based on contact angle measurements, p(BQ-EDR 148) and pDA-modified membranes have similar levels of hydrophilicity, and both exhibited higher threshold flux values than those of their unmodified analogues. Based on their similar threshold flux values, p(BQ-EDR 148)-modified (76 LMH) and pDA-modified membranes (74 LMH) should have similar fouling resistance. Moreover, the mean pore size of p(BQ-EDR 148)-modified membranes can be tuned, while keeping the pure water permeance constant, by changing the deposition time and molar ratio of benzoquinone to EDR 148 in the modification solution.
