Biofouling mitigation and microbial community dynamics in the quorum quenching membrane bioreactors for industrial wastewater treatment
The research investigates the efficiency and applicability of quorum quenching (QQ) mechanism in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) in the treatment of industrial wastewater rich in inorganic pollutants such as salinity, sulfate and lead. In the study, a semi-pilot QQ MBR system was operated with inorganic pollutants representing petroleum and natural gas production wastewater, cement industry wastewater and textile industry wastewater. Rhodococcus sp. BH4 bacteria used as QQ bacteria did not have a negative effect on the organic matter removal efficiency and it was demonstrated that semi-pilot QQ MBR system is resistant to toxic shocks. The results showed that QQ MBR significantly reduced transmembrane pressure (TMP) increases under salinity, lead, and sulfate stress conditions. Moreover, QQ MBR had lower concentrations of soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which are key factors in biofilm formation, compared to Control MBR. Microbial community analysis revealed that QQ successfully maintained operational stability while regulating bacterial populations to minimize biofilm formation. This study highlights the potential of MBR systems utilizing the QQ mechanism to address challenges in industrial wastewater treatment, providing a promising solution to improve energy efficiency and extend membrane life under variable operational conditions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
