“…Hydrogen, as the lightest element in the world, contains a tremendous amount of energy that can be used as an alternative to petroleum [10][11][12][13][14]. The most prevalent processes for hydrogen production are DRM, steam reforming of methane (SRM) and partial oxidation of methane (POM) [15].…”

The catalytic performance of Ni, Co, and Ni-Co-based catalysts on Al 2 O 3 support are investigated in the dry methane reforming reaction. Besides, the influence of La or Y promoters on catalytic activity and structural properties of synthesized catalysts are examined in this paper. The prepared catalysts are characterized using N 2 Adsorption/Desorption, FESEM, EDX, and XRD techniques. Higher average CH 4 and CO 2 conversions, as well as hydrogen yield, are obtained using Ni-Co catalyst with equal weight ratios. This could be the result of better dispersion of active sites according to the FESEM images and thus higher BET surface area of this catalyst compared with other un-promoted ones. Although the addition of La does not enhance the catalytic activity and structural properties of the 9Ni-9Co/Al 2 O 3 sample, the presence of Y 2 O 3 particles has a positive effect on both mentioned catalyst features. The maximum CH 4 conversion of 99.39%, CO 2 conversion of 92.38%, H 2 yield of 86.20% and H 2 /CO molar ratio of 1.50 are achieved using 5Y-9Ni-9Co/Al 2 O 3 at 700 °C. Besides, this catalyst shows lower deposited coke and higher stability compared with other promoted/un-promoted catalysts. The comparison between the activity of 5Y-9Ni-9Co/Al 2 O 3 and industrial 18%Ni/Al 2 O 3 during 11 h DRM shows that although 18%Ni/ Al 2 O 3 has higher conversions at first 9 h, its activity is decreased more than 5Y-9Ni-9Co/Al 2 O 3 due to the coke deposition.

“…Another example of psychical treatment is membrane filtration (e.g., forward osmosis). The main advantages of this technology include that no chemicals are needed, low solid waste generation and high efficiency ( Crini and Lichtfouse, 2019 ; Meshksar et al, 2020 ). This methodologically approach have showed better results for the degradation of psychiatric drugs compared to simple adsorption techniques ( Naddeo et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Although these results demonstrate a low fouling propensity of the RO membranes, it is important to note that the RO unit was designed to treat higher fluxes. In general, RO combined with other physical separation techniques is a preferred conditioning method because of its simple automation, small space requirements and low use of chemicals for regeneration (Meshksar, Roostaee, and Rahimpour 2020).…”

“…The endpoint application of the reclaimed wastewater, either for irrigation, cooling, packaging or general cleaning water, defines the treatment capacity required. A wide range of technologies have been evaluated as tertiary treatment for brewery wastewater with differing results, including quenched plasma, bioreactors, microbial fuel cells and membrane processes (Meshksar, Roostaee, and Rahimpour 2020).…”

Water reuse is a safe and often the least energy-intensive method of providing water from non-conventional sources in water stressed regions. Although public perception can be a challenge, water reuse is gaining acceptance. Recent advances in membrane technology allow for reclamation of wastewater through the production of high-quality treated water, including potable reuse. This study takes an in-depth evaluation of a combination of membrane-based tertiary processes for its application in reuse of brewery wastewater, and is one of the few studies that evaluates long-term membrane performance at the pilot-scale. Two different advanced tertiary treatment trains were tested with secondary wastewater from a brewery wastewater treatment plant (A) ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO), and (B) ozonation, coagulation, microfiltration with ceramic membranes (MF) and RO. Three specific criteria were used for membrane comparison: 1) pilot plant optimisation to identify ideal operating conditions, 2) Clean-In-Place (CIP) procedures to restore permeability, and 3) final water quality obtained. Both UF and Micro-Filtration membranes were operated at increasing fluxes, filtration intervals and alternating phases of backwash (BW) and chemically enhanced backwash (CEB) to control fouling. Operation of polymeric UF membranes was optimized at a flux of 25–30 LMH with 15–20 min of filtration time to obtain longer production periods and avoid frequent CIP membrane cleaning procedures. Combination of ozone and coagulation with ceramic MF membranes resulted in high flux values up to 120 LMH with CEB:BW ratios of 1:4 to 1:10. Coagulation doses of 3–6 ppm were required to deal with the high concentrations of polyphenols (coagulation inhibitors) in the feed, but higher concentrations led to increasing fouling resistance of the MF membrane. Varying the ozone concentration stepwise from 0 to 25 mg/L had no noticeable effect on coagulation. The most effective cleaning strategy was found to be a combination of 2000 mg/L NaOCl followed by 5% HCl which enabled to recover permeability up to 400 LMH·bar−1. Both polymeric UF and ceramic MF membranes produced effluents that fulfil the limits of the national regulatory framework for reuse in industrial services (RD 1620/2007). Coupling to the RO units in both tertiary trains led to further water polishing and an improved treated water quality.
