ABSTRACT
RO process is commonly used to treat and reuse manganese-containing industrial wastewater. Nevertheless, even after undergoing multi-stage treatment, the secondary biochemical effluent still exhibits a high concentration of Mn2+ coupled with organics entering the RO system, leading to membrane fouling. In this work, we systematically analyze the RO membrane organic fouling processes and mechanisms, considering the coexistence of Mn2+ with humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and their mixtures (HBS). The impact of Mn2+ on membrane fouling was HBS > SA > HA > BSA, controlling polysaccharide pollutant concentrations should be a priority for mitigating membrane fouling. In the presence of Mn2+ with HA, SA, or HBS, membrane fouling is primarily attributed to the complexation of organics and Mn2+ and the facilitation of interfacial interaction energy. RO membrane BSA fouling was not directly affected by Mn2+, the addition of Mn2+ induced a salting-out effect, leading to the deposition of BSA in a single molecular on the membrane. Simultaneously, adhesion energy hinders the deposition of BSA on the membrane, resulting in milder membrane fouling. This study provided the theoretical basis and suggestions for RO membrane organic fouling control in the presence of Mn2+.
