Molecular characteristics of organic foulants in biogas slurry were examined to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Results showed that MNBs pre-treatment of biogas slurry could reduce membrane fouling and improve fouling reversibility during subsequent UF concentration using oxygen as the gas source. MNBs increased the molecular number of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and thermodynamic instability, and reduced the particle size of biogas slurry. As a result, organic foulants, mainly including lignin, lipids, and protein/amino sugar, rapidly attached onto the membrane surface to form a thick but highly reversible fouling layer. Irreversible foulants mainly caused by inorganic foulants were alleviated due to MNB pretreatment to decrease carboxylic groups in biogas slurry to break the interaction between DOM and cations in inorganic foulants. The weakened cation-DOM interaction could be related to the reduction in calcium bridging with humic-like substances as well as electrostatic shielding between potassium and humic-like/fulvic-like substances. As such, the water flux and its recovery after regular cleaning were enhanced by 58.1% and 19.6% in UF operation, respectively, when MNBs was used for biogas slurry pre-treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science","volume":"731 ","pages":"Article 124221"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144072367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, at a thermal treatment temperature of 450 °C, a cauliflower-like CuO catalyst was formed on the surface of CTHM-450, exhibiting superior electrochemical activity compared to CTHM samples prepared under other conditions. Consequently, CTHM-450 demonstrated optimal electrocatalytic filtration treatment performance, achieving a removal rate of 96.83% for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and 50.48% for total organic carbon (TOC). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests and quenching experiments indicated that the efficient removal of SMX by CTHM-450 was mainly due to the electrocatalytic oxidation process, which was dominated by hydroxyl radicals (·OH), singlet oxygen (¹O₂), and sulfate radicals (SO₄^∙-). The possible degradation pathways of SMX during the treatment were analyzed based on the intermediate products detected in the permeate and computational results obtained from density functional theory (DFT).
