摘要
In this study, a lab scale direct membrane filtration (DMF) system using ultrafiltration membranes was operated to compare synthetic and real wastewater to evaluate their membrane fouling propensity and the partitioning of organics and nutrients during concentration. For fouling prevention, cyclic operation was used which consisted of 90 s of filtration followed by 15 s of relaxation and backwashing conducted every 15 min. The system was tested at a high initial flux of 80 LMH (L/m2 center dot h), and the trials were run until a 90% volume reduction was achieved for each batch. Both the synthetic and real wastewater showed similar fouling propensities and organic and nutrient partitioning. The synthetic and real wastewater had an average flux of 46.3 LMH and 28.5 LMH and an average total chemical oxygen demand rejection of 90.3% and 83.1% after 30 h of operation, respectively. The recovery of organics was similar in both influents, resulting in 65.5% and 64.0% of the total chemical oxygen demand concentrations in the concentrate stream for synthetic and real wastewaters, respectively. The total phosphorous and nitrogen concentrations were also similar in terms of rejection rates resulting in 85% and 78% for the synthetic and 89% and 65% for the fresh WWs, respectively. The comparison revealed that synthetic wastewater, though not identical to real wastewater, can serve as a surrogate in DMF studies. This will help to remove one of the key sources of variability in current DMF studies and will allow for more rapid development of DMF technology.
