In-situ manipulation of gel layer fouling into gel layer membrane formation on porous supports for water treatment

The inaccessibility of clean water is one of the growing issues of this era. Indeed, cost-effective and sustainable methods for recycling wastewater are essential. Although membrane separation is an efficient technology for the recycling and purification of water, membrane fouling is still a major d...

description The inaccessibility of clean water is one of the growing issues of this era. Indeed, cost-effective and sustainable methods for recycling wastewater are essential. Although membrane separation is an efficient technology for the recycling and purification of water, membrane fouling is still a major drawback of this technology. This work is aimed to develop a dynamic method to form gel layer membranes (GLMs) by manipulating the irreversible fouling process itself as a problem-solving approach. A microporous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) support is subjected to gel layer formation by applying a supernatant of industrial aerobic sludge (containing soluble extracellular polymeric substances EPS) as a feed. Retention of polysaccharides and calcium during the filtration and the topographical analysis after the filtration show that EPS uniformly formed a gel layer on the PVDF support.
