“…Typical sources of organically polluted wastewaters are, among others, the petrochemical industry, textile industry, tanning industry, pulp and paper industry, rubber and tire production, chemical production, food and beverage industry and the energy supply sector [91,120]. We will show that, due to their robustness and high separation efficiency for small organic pollutants, HF NF has proven to be a successful technology for organic removal from industrial wastewater in single step processes [28,[121][122][123][124][125].…”

Hollow fiber nanofiltration (NF) membranes have gained increased attention in recent years, partly driven by the availability of alternatives to polyamide-based dense separation layers. Moreover, the global market for NF has been growing steadily in recent years and is expected to grow even faster. Compared to the traditional spiral-wound configuration, the hollow fiber geometry provides advantages such as low fouling tendencies and effective hydraulic cleaning possibilities. The alternatives to polyamide layers are typically chemically more stable and thus allow operation and cleaning at more extreme conditions. Therefore, these new NF membranes are of interest for use in a variety of applications. In this review, we provide an overview of the applications and emerging opportunities for these membranes. Next to municipal wastewater and drinking water processes, we have put special focus on industrial applications where hollow fiber NF membranes are employed under more strenuous conditions or used to recover specific resources or solutes.

“…Organic fouling occurs as a result of hydrocarbons coating the surface or plugging the pores of the membrane. Colloidal fouling is the accumulation of particles such as clay or silica on the surface or within the membrane [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23].…”

Membrane Surface Patterning as a Fouling Mitigation Strategy in Liquid Filtration: A Review

et al. 2019

Membrane fouling is seen as the main culprit that hinders the widespread of membrane application in liquid-based filtration. Therefore, fouling management is key for the successful implementation of membrane processes, and it is done across all magnitudes. For optimum operation, membrane developments and surface modifications have largely been reported, including membrane surface patterning. Membrane surface patterning involves structural modification of the membrane surface to induce secondary flow due to eddies, which mitigate foulant agglomeration and increase the effective surface area for improved permeance and antifouling properties. This paper reviews surface patterning approaches used for fouling mitigation in water and wastewater treatments. The focus is given on the pattern formation methods and their effect on overall process performances.

“…Thus, there are several suggestions for obtaining greater performance. First, an alternative fabrication method could be to create high-performance hybrid PDMS membranes with a highly effective permeation area and a thin selective layer, for example, the development of thin-film tubular or hollow fiber composite membranes using a novel coating technique [ 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Second, using a PDMS polymer with high molecular weight could further enhance the gas permeance by increasing the porosity or pore size [ 55 , 56 ].…”

The effects of green processes in hybrid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes on CO2 separation have received little attention to date. The effective CO2 separation of the membranes is believed to be controlled by the reaction and curing process. In this study, hybrid PDMS membranes were fabricated on ceramic substrates using the water-in-emulsion method and evaluated for their gas transport properties. The effects of the tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) concentration and curing temperature on the morphology and CO2 separation performance were investigated. The viscosity measurement showed that, at specific reaction times, it is benefit beneficial to fabricate the symmetric hybrid PDMS membranes with a uniform and dense selective layer on the substrate. Moreover, the a high TEOS concentration can decrease the reaction time and obtain create the a fully crosslinked structure, allowing more efficient CO2/N2 separation. The separation performance was furtherly improved with in the membrane prepared at a high curing temperature of 120 °C. The developed membrane shows excellent CO2/N2 separation with a CO2 permeance of 27.7 ± 1.3 GPU and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 10.3 ± 0.3. Moreover, the membrane shows a stable gas separation performance of up to 5 bar of pressure.
