Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different voltage and aeration conditions on catering wastewater treatment and membrane fouling in a novel annular electric field membrane bioreactor (AEMBR). The results indicated that the synergistic effect of annular electric field and aeration promoted the degradation of wastewater and the alleviation of membrane fouling. The treatment effect was optimal under a micro electric field of 0.5 V, with removal rates for COD, NH4+-N, TP, and oil ranging from 96.85% to 99.36%, 80.43%–83.01%, 95.46%–97.79%, and 98.83%–99.15%, respectively. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of macromolecular proteins and small molecular acids decreased. Simultaneously, the average growth rate of transmembrane pressure (TMP) reduced by approximately 0.4 kPa/d. The species abundance and diversity of activated sludge increased, promoting the growth of dominant bacteria, all while maintaining low energy consumption. The aeration intensity had relatively little impact on system operation, and the force of the annular electric field was greater than the force of aeration. This study verified the optimal benefits under micro electric field conditions and provided a basis for the optimization of future process design to achieve a more efficient and economical wastewater treatment system.
