This short communication presents an alternative blocking model based on a description of the effective permeability of a fouled membrane accounting for the flow around and under the deposited foulant through the interconnected pore structure of the membrane. The resulting filtration equation gives linear fouling relationships that are very similar to those for the classical pore constriction model, including the slope on a derivative plot, providing a possible justification for the successful use of the pore constriction formalism in describing the flux decline behavior in many membrane systems. In addition, this new blocking model is readily extended to the case where the deposited foulant is permeable to flow. This new composite media blocking model not only provides useful expressions for the rate of flux decline during constant pressure filtration, it also provides insights into the underlying physical mechanisms controlling fouling in membrane systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science Letters","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100018"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S277242122200006X/pdfft?md5=188498cf425e22cb1a32cb11b7bedc18&pid=1-s2.0-S277242122200006X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74446120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The membrane was operated at a sub-critical flux, thus, fouling was not observed until endogenous decay. The observed fouling could be attributed to endogenous decay which was driven by nutrient deficiency at high sludge age and low food-to-microorganisms ratio (decreasing from 0.15 to 0.09 gBOD/gMLVSS.d). Endogenous decay resulted in a sharp decrease of the number of species and evenness between different species (49.7 and 58.9% compared to the inoculum, respectively). The release of dissolved organic matters and cell debris from endogenous decay as well as the excessive growth of filamentous bacteria, e.g. <em>Thiotrichales</em> were the main contributors to membrane fouling. The relative abundance of <em>Thiotrichales</em> significantly correlated with TMP (Pearson R = 0.996, <em>p</em>-value <0.001), indicating this order's contribution to membrane fouling. Other dominant orders in the mixed liquor after endogenous decay such as <em>Rhizobiales, Burkholderiales, Rhodospirillales</em> and <em>Myxococcales, Flavobacteriales</em> can produce extracellular polymeric substances and aggravating membrane fouling. Fouling layers possess highly similar microbial composition with the mixed liquor, with some filamentous microbial orders, e.g. <em>Corynebacteriales</em> and <em>Oligoflexales</em> showing increased relative abundance by 6.83 and 5.64 folds, respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science Letters","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100023"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772421222000113/pdfft?md5=b8a964da11461eef8665ce601239f1e5&pid=1-s2.0-S2772421222000113-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87428180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the interpretation of CA can sometimes be tricky. In this study, we investigate an interesting phenomenon about the CA of a surfactant solution on a microporous hydrophobic membrane. Specifically, a surfactant solution with a very low surface tension can have an unexpectedly high CA on a microporous hydrophobic membrane. In contrast, a water/ethanol mixture with the same surface tension completely wicks the membrane (i.e., zero CA). The drastic difference in CA between the two types of liquid of the same surface tension results from the rapid adsorption of surfactants at the wetting frontier which substantially reduces the local surfactant concentration and increases the local surface tension. The same theory can also be applied to explain the striking difference between the two liquids in capillary rise and liquid entry pressure. The results from this study cast significant doubt on the role of surface tension in understanding the wetting behavior of surfactant solutions when they are in contact with solid with large specific area and raise important questions regarding the utility of measuring CA for surfactant solutions on microporous hydrophobic membranes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science Letters","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100015"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772421222000034/pdfft?md5=82ce1a58bec6e4d0c51c5d77699434a1&pid=1-s2.0-S2772421222000034-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81415604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both sessile drop and captive bubble contact angle measurements are used to determine contact angles (and porosity) for both dry and wet membranes, respectively. The former method is probably applicable for membrane distillation, aeration and de-aeration where liquid water does not saturate the membrane, whereas the latter may be more indicative of pressure-driven aqueous membrane separations where the membrane is saturated through its cross-section. Image analysis of scanning electron microscope (SEM) images quantified dry membrane surface porosity. We propose a simple analytical model to obtain wet and dry membrane surface porosity from contact angle measurements. Our results suggest that the surface porosity calculated from both wet and dry contact angle data correlates strongly with the surface porosity calculated from SEM values. However, wet contact angles of the membranes with high porosities produce significantly higher porosity values, which also establishes the importance of porous membrane swelling in determining membrane porosity for aqueous membrane separations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science Letters","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100022"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772421222000101/pdfft?md5=818cf854218af4133595bf0f3b3a3611&pid=1-s2.0-S2772421222000101-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78796765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
