However, certain processes such as wastewater reuse require regular membrane cleaning and disinfection with oxidants, which can lead to early membrane degradation. Furthermore, some metal ions present in the water can act as a catalyst for further accelerating the degradation. This early degradation of RO membranes poses significant challenges, resulting in operational inefficiencies, early disposal of membranes, and elevated operational costs. Fortunately, there is the possibility of recovering some part of this performance loss by means of chemical treatment through rejuvenating agents. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a commercially available rejuvenating agent containing tannic acid for restoring salt rejection and permeability parameters on degraded thin-film polyamide membranes. The membranes were first degraded using 250 ​ppm sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 0.05 ​ppm ferric chloride (FeCl<sub>3</sub>) at various pH levels (pH ​= ​4, 7 and 9). After applying the rejuvenation treatment to the degraded membranes, the efficiency of the rejuvenating agent was determined based on the improvement achieved for performance testing with respect to salt rejection and permeability. Analytical characterization of the membranes was carried out with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy-Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR). It was found that the chlorine degradation of membranes was accelerated in the presence of FeCl<sub>3</sub> at all studied pH levels but more prominently in the acidic region. This acceleration effect was attributed to the formation of (<span><math><mrow><mo>·</mo><mtext>OH</mtext></mrow></math></span>, <span><math><mrow><mo>·</mo><mtext>OCl</mtext></mrow></math></span>) radicals.

Despite this, the complex interactions between ceramic membranes and organic foulants under various oxidation processes remain inadequately understood, yet they are pivotal in fouling dynamics. This review examines the integration of oxidation processes with ceramic membrane filtration systems. We focus on the fundamental mechanisms of molecular-scale interactions between ceramic membranes and organic foulants, which are crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate fouling. Practical applications of the integrated processes in advanced water treatment are also discussed. We first examine the mechanisms underlying the unique surface chemistry of ceramic membranes and their interactions with organic foulants.
