Ammonia recovery via direct contact membrane distillation: Modeling and performance optimization.

Ammonia recovery from wastewater has positive environmental benefits, avoiding eutrophication and reducing production energy consumption, which is one of the most effective ways to manage nutrients in wastewater. Specifically, ammonia recovery by membrane distillation has been gradually adopted due to its excellent separation properties for volatile substances. However, the global optimization of direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) operating parameters to maximize ammonia recovery efficiency (ARE) has not been attempted. In this work, three key operating factors affecting ammonia recovery, i.e., feed ammonia concentration, feed pH, and DCMD running time, were identified from eight factors, by a two-level Plackett-Burman Design (PBD). Subsequently, Box-Behnken design (BBD) under the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to model and optimize the significant operating parameters affecting the recovery of ammonia though DCMD identified by PBD and statistically verified by analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that the model had a high coefficient of determination value (R2 = 0.99), and the interaction between NH4Cl concentration and feed pH had a significant effect on ARE. The optimal operating parameters of DCMD as follows: NH4Cl concentration of 0.46 g/L, feed pH of 10.6, DCMD running time of 11.3 h, and the maximum value of ARE was 98.46%. Under the optimized conditions, ARE reached up to 98.72%, which matched the predicted value and verified the validity and reliability of the model for the optimization of ammonia recovery by DCMD process.

Nanosheet BiOBr Modified Rock Wool Composites for High Efficient Oil/Water Separation and Simultaneous Dye Degradation by Activating Peroxymonosulfate.

The development of superlyophobic materials in liquid systems, enabling synchronous oil/water separation and dye removal from water, is highly desirable. In this study, we employed a novel superwetting array-like BiOBr nanosheets anchored on waste rock wool (RW) fibers through a simple neutralization alcoholysis method. The resulting BiOBr/RW fibers exhibited superoleophilic and superhydrophilic properties in air but demonstrated underwater superoleophobic and underoil superhydrophobic characteristics. Utilizing its dual superlyophobicity, the fiber layer demonstrated high separation efficiencies and flux velocity for oil/water mixtures by prewetting under a gravity-driven mechanism. Additionally, the novel BiOBr/RW fibers also exhibited excellent dual superlyophobicity and effective separation for immiscible oil/oil systems. Furthermore, the BiOBr/RW fibers could serve as a filter to continuously separate oil/water mixtures with high flux velocity and removal rates (>93.9%) for water-soluble dye rhodamine B (RhB) simultaneously by directly activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) in cyclic experiments. More importantly, the mechanism of simultaneous oil/water separation and RhB degradation was proposed based on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. Considering the simple modified process and the waste RW as raw material, this work may open up innovative, economical, and environmentally friendly avenues for the effective treatment of wastewater contaminated with oil and water-soluble pollutants.

Solar-Driven Reforming of Methane and Nitrogen to Methanol and Ammonium on Iron-Modified Zeolite under Ambient Conditions in Water.

Artificial photosynthesis from selective methane oxidation or nitrogen reduction to value-added chemicals provides a promising pathway for the sustainable chemical industry, while still remaining a great challenge due to the extreme difficulty in C-H and N≡N bond cleavage under ambient conditions. Catalysts that can cocatalyze these two reactions simultaneously are rarely reported. Here, Fe-ZSM-5 with highly dispersed extra-framework Fe-oxo species enables efficient and selective photocatalytic conversion of methane and nitrogen to coproduce methanol and ammonia using H2O as the redox reagent under ambient conditions. The optimized Fe-ZSM-5 photocatalyst achieves up to 0.88 mol/molFe·h of methanol products with 97% selectivity. Meanwhile, the productivity of ammonia is 0.61 mol/molFe·h. In situ EPR and DRIFT studies disclose that water serves as a redox reagent to provide hydroxyl radicals for methane oxidation and protons for nitrogen hydrogenation. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that Fe-oxo species play a significant role in the coactivation of methane and nitrogen molecules, which lowers the energy barriers of rate-determining steps for methanol and ammonia generation.

Bacterial Inactivation and Biofilm Disruption through Indigenous Prophage Activation Using Low-Intensity Cold Atmospheric Plasma.

Biofilms can be pervasive and problematic in water treatment and distribution systems but are difficult to eradicate due to hindered penetration of antimicrobial chemicals. Here, we demonstrate that indigenous prophages activated by low-intensity plasma have the potential for efficient bacterial inactivation and biofilm disruption. Specifically, low-intensity plasma treatment (i.e., 35.20 W) elevated the intracellular oxidative reactive species (ROS) levels by 184%, resulting in the activation of prophage lambda (λ) within antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli K-12 (lambda+) [E. coli (λ+)]. The phage activation efficiency was 6.50-fold higher than the conventional mitomycin C induction. Following a cascading effect, the activated phages were released upon the lysis of E. coli (λ+), which propagated further and lysed phage-susceptible E. coli K-12 (lambda-) [E. coli (λ-)] within the biofilm. Bacterial intracellular ROS analysis and ROS scavenger tests revealed the importance of plasma-generated ROS (e.g., •OH, 1O2, and •O2-) and associated intracellular oxidative stress on prophage activation. In a mixed-species biofilm on a permeable membrane surface, our "inside-out" strategy could inactivate total bacteria by 49% and increase the membrane flux by 4.33-fold. Furthermore, the metagenomic analysis revealed that the decrease in bacterial abundance was closely associated with the increase in phage levels. As a proof-of-concept, this is the first demonstration of indigenous prophage activations by low-intensity plasma for antibiotic-resistant bacterial inactivation and biofilm eradication, which opens up a new avenue for managing associated microbial problems.

Carbon nanotube enhanced membrane distillation for salty and dyeing wastewater treatment by electrospinning technology.

Membrane distillation (MD) is considered as a promising and attractive technology due to its effective production of fresh water. However, the low permeability and easy wetting of MD membranes limit its practical applications. Herein carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PcH) were used to fabricate nanofiber membranes by electrospinning. Effects of heat-press temperature and CNTs concentration on the morphology and performance of the as-fabricated membranes were systematically investigated. Dye rejections of CNTs/PcH membranes were also studied and role of CNTs played in the as-prepared MD membranes were analyzed. Results suggest that heat-press treatment effectively improved the mechanical strength as well as liquid entry pressure of membranes, and the optimal heat-press temperature was 150 °C. CNTs were proved to be successfully blended in nanofibers. Hydrophobicity and mechanical strength of membranes increased with CNTs incorporation. The 0.5 wt % CNTs loaded membrane heat-pressed at 150 °C exhibited the highest permeate flux (16.5-18.5 L m-2 h-1), which signified an increase of 42-50 % compared to the commercial MD membrane (11-13 L m-2 h-1) when 35 and 70 g L-1 NaCl solutions were used as feed solutions, respectively. It was noteworthy that salt rejection efficiencies of tested membranes achieved more than 99.99 %. When CNTs/PcH nanofiber membrane was applied to the treatment of dyeing wastewater, the removal rates of acid red and acid yellow reached 100 %. The removal rates of methylene blue and crystal violet were 99.41 % and 99.91 %, respectively. The present study suggested that the as-prepared membranes showed high potential towards MD application.

Synergistic impacts of Cu2+ on simultaneous removal of tetracycline and tetracycline resistance genes by PSF/TPU/UiO forward osmosis membrane.

Cu2+, tetracycline (TC), and corresponding tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) are common micropollutants in aquaculture wastewater, which have great impact on environment and human health. In this study, we developed a thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) forward osmosis (FO) membrane with an electrospinning thermoplastic polyurethane/polysulfone (PSF/TPU) substrate and a UiO-66-NH2 particle interlayer modified active layer. The effects of Cu2+ concentration on the synergetic removal of TC and TRGs (e.g., tetA/M/X/O/C, int1, and 16 S rRNA gene) were analyzed to determine the role of Cu2+ in FO process. The rejection mechanism was also analyzed in depth. Results demonstrated that the rejection of TC and Cu2+ was 99.53% and 97.99%. The rejection of TRGs exceeded 90% (specifically, over 99% for tetC) at a Cu2+ concentration of 500 µg/L when 0.5 M (NH4)2HPO4 was used as draw solution. Complexation reaction between Cu2+ and TC, electrostatic interaction, and the adsorption of Cu2+ on membrane surface were the main contributing factors for the high rejection efficiencies. Altogether, the as-prepared FO membrane holds great potential for simultaneously removing heavy metals, antibiotics, and resistance genes in real wastewater.

Supported Atomically-Precise Gold Nanoclusters for Enhanced Flow-through Electro-Fenton.

Gold (Au) has been considered catalytically inert for decades, but recent reports have described the ability of Au nanoparticles to catalyze H2O2 decomposition in the Haber-Weiss cycle. Herein, the design and demonstration of a flow-through electro-Fenton system based on an electrochemical carbon nanotube (CNT) filter functionalized with atomically precise Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) is described. The functionality of the device was then tested for its ability to catalyze antibiotic tetracycline degradation. In the functional filters, the Au core of AuNCs served as a high-performance Fenton catalyst; while the AuNCs ligand shells enabled CNT dispersion in aqueous solution for easy processing. The hybrid filter enabled in situ H2O2 production and catalyzed the subsequent H2O2 decomposition to HO·. The catalytic function of AuNCs lies in their ability to undergo redox cycling of Au+/Au0 under an electric field. The atomically precise AuNCs catalysts demonstrated superior catalytic activity to larger nanoparticles; while the flow-through design provided convection-enhanced mass transport, which yielded a superior performance compared to a conventional batch reactor. The adsorption behavior and decomposition pathway of H2O2 on the filter surfaces were simulated by density functional theory calculations. The research outcomes provided atomic-level mechanistic insights into the Au-mediated Fenton reaction.

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) identification in processed fish products using loop-mediated isothermal amplification and polymerase chain reaction assays.

BACKGROUND: Financial loss and health risk caused by the substitution of rainbow trout for other salmonid species have become a common issue around the world. The situation could be further exacerbated in China by the 'abused' common name of San Wen Yu (the corresponding Chinese ideogram ) for salmonids, considering the absence of a standardized naming system for seafood species. To prevent such episodes, the present study aimed to develop novel loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene for rapid identification of rainbow trout in processed fish products. RESULTS: Rainbow trout-specific primers (LAMP and PCR) were designed, and the specificity against 23 different fish species was confirmed. The minimum amount of detectable DNA for LAMP assay reached 500 pg, up to 10-fold less than for PCR assay. In addition to agarose gel electrophoresis, naked-eye inspection of the LAMP-positive samples using SYBR Green I under daylight or ultraviolet light was also validated. Finally, commercial San Wen Yu products made from rainbow trout could be accurately identified using the newly developed LAMP and PCR assays, further cross-confirmed by mini DNA barcoding and neighbor-joining dendrograms. CONCLUSIONS: The LAMP and PCR assays established in the study allow a fast and accurate identification of rainbow trout in processed fish products. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Enhanced photocatalytic bacteriostatic activity towards Escherichia coli using 3D hierarchical microsphere BiOI/BiOBr under visible light irradiation.

A BiOI/BiOBr composite was successfully fabricated by a simple hydrothermal method. The composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The BiOI/BiOBr composite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic bacteriostatic activity towards E. coli compared to the pure BiOI or BiOBr under visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the improved separation efficiency of the photogenerated holes because of its heterojunction structure. In addition, the possible bacteriostatic mechanism of the BiOI/BiOBr composite under visible light irradiation is discussed. The hierarchical microsphere BiOI/BiOBr showed enhanced photocatalytic bacteriostasis towards Escherichia coli under visible light.

BiOBr/BiOI Photocatalyst Based on Fly Ash Cenospheres with Improved Photocatalytic Performance.

A series of BiOBr/BiOI photocatalysts supported on fly-ash cenospheres (FACs) were successfully prepared via a facile one-pot alcoholysis method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results indicate that pH value plays a critical role in BiOBr/BiOI loading. Based on the photodegradation tests under visible light irradiation (blue LED irradiation), the photocatalytic property of BiOBr/BiOI/FACs photocatalysts obtained under alkaline conditions is superior to that prepared under neutral or acidic conditions, and higher than those of BiOB/FACs and BiOI//FACs. The improved photocatalytic performance of BiOBr/BiOI/FACs can be attributed to more BiOBr/BiOI loaded on the surface of FACs and the efficient photogenerated electron-hole separation.

Optimization of an A(2)/O process for tetracycline removal via response surface methodology coupled with a Box-Behnken design.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the operating conditions of an anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A(2)/O) process by maximizing the removal efficiency of tetracycline (TC). Solid retention time (SRT), hydraulic retention time (HRT) and initial TC concentration (CTC, in) were selected as independent variables for incorporation in the Box-Behnken design. The results showed SRT and CTC, in were more significant parameters than HRT for the removal efficiency of TC. TC could be completely removed under the optimal conditions of an SRT of 15.5 days, an HRT of 9.9 h and a CTC, in of 283.3 µg L(-1). TC removal efficiencies of 99% and 96% were attained for synthetic and real wastewater, respectively, under the optimal conditions. This indicated the constructed model was validated and reliable for optimizing the A(2)/O process for TC removal.

Removal performance and changes in the microbial communities of SBRs under aerobic and anoxic conditions with trace tetracycline pressure.

The reactor performance and microbial community composition of sequencing batch reactor (SBR) under aerobic and anoxic conditions were investigated in this study. The experimental results showed high chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. The tetracycline (TC) removal efficiencies were not obviously affected by aerobic and anoxic conditions, and were 64-97 and 60-87%, respectively. Aerobic condition was observed to be more suitable for decreasing tetracycline-resistant bacteria (TRB) than anoxic condition in synthetic and real wastewater. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and clone library analysis revealed that Chlorobaculumthiosulfatiphilum was the dominant species in the tested SBR systems. TC significantly influenced the relative numbers of TRB- and TC-resistant genes, and the microbial community diversity changed with the addition of 250 µg L(-1) of TC. The genes of tetA and tetC, tetM and tetS, tetA and tetM, tetS and tetA showed significant correlation with each other (P < 0.05).

Interaction of microplastics with perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in water: A review of the fate, mechanisms and toxicity.

It is well known that microplastics can act as vectors of pollutants in the environment and are widely spread in freshwater and marine environments. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) can remain in the aqueous environment for long periods due to their wide application and good stability. The coexistence of microplastics and PFAS in the aqueous environment creates conditions for their interaction and combined toxicity. Studies on adsorption experiments between them and combined toxicity have been documented in the literature but have not been critically summarized and reviewed. Therefore, in this review, we focused on the interaction mechanisms, influencing factors, and combined toxicity between microplastics and PFAS. It was found that surface complexation may be a new interaction mechanism between microplastics and PFAS. In addition, aged microplastics reduce the adsorption of PFAS due to the presence of oxygenated groups on the surface compared to virgin microplastics. Attached biofilms can increase the adsorption capacity and create conditions for biodegradation. And, the interaction of microplastics and PFAS affects their spatial and temporal distribution in the environment. This review can provide insights into the fate of microplastics and PFAS in the global aquatic environment, fill knowledge gaps on the interactions between microplastics and PFAS, and provide a basic reference for assessing their combined toxicity.

Underlying the mechanisms of pathogen inactivation and regrowth in wastewater using peracetic acid-based disinfection processes: A critical review.

Peracetic acid (PAA) disinfection is an emerging wastewater disinfection process. Its advantages include excellent pathogen inactivation performance and little generation of toxic and harmful disinfection byproducts. The objective of this review is to comprehensively analyze the experimental data and scientific information related to PAA-based disinfection processes. Kinetic models and modeling frameworks are discussed to provide effective tools to assess pathogen inactivation efficacy. Then, the efficacy of PAA-based disinfection processes for pathogen inactivation is summarized, and the inactivation mechanisms involved in disinfection and the interactions of PAA with conventional disinfection processes are elaborated. Subsequently, the risk of pathogen regrowth after PAA-based disinfection process is clearly discussed. Finally, to address ecological risks related to PAA-based disinfection, its impact on the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is also assessed. Among advanced PAA-based disinfection processes, ultraviolet/PAA is promising not only because it has practical application value but also because pathogen regrowth can be inhibited and ARGs transfer risk can be significantly reduced via this process. This review presents valuable and comprehensive information to provide an in-depth understanding of PAA as an alternative wastewater disinfection technology.

Construction waste as a filler of denitrification biofilter for nitrate utilization from wastewater: Characteristics, performance, microbial community and soilless culture.

Construction waste (CW) is produced in large quantities, resulting in severe land occupation and resource depletion. This study utilized CW as fillers to construct a denitrification biofilter (DNBF-CW) for treating secondary effluent from wastewater plants. Performance and mechanism were analyzed by water quality, biomass and its distribution, physicochemical characteristics, microbial community structure, extracellular polymeric substances and protein secondary structure analysis. Results indicated that DNBF-CW achieve NO3--N and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies (RE) of 97 % and 70 %. The ß-sheet of DNBF-CW increased from 47 % to 58 %, accompanied by decrease in random curls from 22 % to 0. Post-use CW showed potential as soilless cultivation substrates, boosting germination rates by 42 ± 7 %. Mechanism investigations elucidated that ZX3 improved efficiency by modulating microbial community composition, with Pseudomonas reaching 37 %. This study shows the multiple use of construction waste, which presents a novel, efficient, and eco-friendly solution for water treatment.

Long-term exposure to ionic liquid [C8mim]Br induces the potential risk of anxiety and memory deterioration through disturbing neurotransmitter systems.

1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C8mim]Br), one of the ionic liquids (ILs), has been used in various fields as an alternative green solvent of conventional organic solvents. Increased application and stabilization of imidazole ring structure lead to its release into the aquatic environment and long-term retention. Structure-activity relationship consideration suggested that ILs may be acetylcholinesterase inhibitors; however, neurotoxicity in vivo, especially the underlying mechanisms is rarely studied. In this study, the zebrafish were exposed to 2.5-10 mg/L [C8mim]Br for 28 days to comprehensively evaluate the neurotoxicity of ILs on adult zebrafish from the behavioral profiles and neurotransmitter systems for the first time. The results indicate that zebrafish exhibit suppressed spatial working memory and anxious behaviors. To assess the potential neurotoxic mechanisms underlying the behavioral responses of zebrafish, we measured the levels of neurotransmitters and precursors, key enzyme activities, and expression levels of relevant genes. Nissl staining showed significant neural cell death in zebrafish after 28-day [C8mim]Br exposure, with corresponding decreases in the levels of neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, glutamate, 5-hydroxytryptophan, gamma-aminobutyric acid, dopamine, and norepinephrine). Furthermore, these results were associated with mRNA expression levels of the disrupted neurotransmitter key genes (th, tph2, mao, slc6a3, ache, gad67). Overall, our study determined that [C8mim]Br caused potential mental disorders like anxiety and memory deterioration in zebrafish by impairing neurotransmitter systems, providing recommendations for the industrial production and application of [C8mim]Br.

Toxicological analysis of Eisenia fetida in soil under the coexistence of rockwool substrate andtricyclazole.

This study investigated the combined effects of rockwool, a novel seedling substrate, and tricyclazole (TCA) on the bioavailability of TCA to Eisenia fetida. The single addition of rockwool and TCA alone to the soil inhibited the growth of E. fetida. A high concentration (300 mg·L-1) of TCA significantly decreased the biomass of E. fetida. The addition of 20-mesh rockwool reduced this effect on earthworm biomass by decreasing the soil TCA through adsorption, effectively mitigating TCA bioaccumulation in earthworms. A mechanistic analysis showed that the Mg-O functional group on the rockwool surface combined with the CC functional group in TCA to generate Mg-O-C, and the adsorption process was dominated by chemisorption. Toxicology experiments demonstrated that malondialdehyde and cellulase could be used as biomarkers of inhibitory effects of combined rockwool and TCA in soil on E. fetida. Macrogenomic analyses revealed that small particle sizes and high concentrations of rockwool caused co-stress effects on earthworms when TCA was present. When the particle size of rockwool increased, the toxic effect of TCA on earthworms instead decreased at higher rockwool concentrations. Therefore, in practical agricultural production, the particle size of rockwool can be controlled to realize the adsorption of TCA and reduce the toxic effects of TCA and rockwool on earthworms.

Bioelectrocatalytic reduction by integrating pyrite assisted manganese cobalt-doped carbon nanofiber anode and bacteria for sustainable antimony catalytic removal.

A novel manganese cobalt metal-organic framework based carbon nanofiber electrode (MnCo/CNF) was prepared and used as microbial fuel cell (MFC) anode. Pyrite was introduced into the anode chamber (MnCoPy_MFC). Synergistic function between pyrite and MnCo/CNF facilitated the pollutants removal and energy generation in MnCoPy_MFC. MnCoPy_MFC showed the highest chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency (82 ± 1%) and the highest coulombic efficiency (35 ± 1%). MnCoPy_MFC achieved both efficient electricity generation (maximum voltage: 658 mV; maximum power density: 3.2 W/m3) and total antimony (Sb) removal efficiency (99%). The application of MnCo/CNF significantly enhanced the biocatalytic efficiency of MnCoPy_MFC, attributed to its large surface area and abundant porous structure that provided ample attachment sites for electroactive microorganisms. This study revealed the synergistic interaction between pyrite and MnCo/CNF anode, which provided a new strategy for the application of composite anode MFC in heavy metal removal and energy recovery.

Enhanced Sb(V) removal of sulfate-rich wastewater by anaerobic granular sludge assisted with Fe/C amendment.

Antimony (Sb) and sulfate are two common pollutants in Sb mine drainage and Sb-containing textile wastewater. In this paper, it was found that iron­carbon (Fe/C) enhanced Sb(V) removal from sulfate-rich wastewater by anaerobic granular sludge (AnGS). Sulfate inhibited Sb(V) removal (S + Sb, k = 0.101), while Fe/C alleviated the inhibition and increased Sb(V) removal rate by 2.3 times (Fe/C + S + Sb, k = 0.236). Fe/C could promote the removal of Sb(III), and Sb(III) content decreased significantly after 8 h. Meanwhile, Fe/C enhanced the removal of sulfate. The 3D-EEM spectrum of supernatant in Fe/C + S + Sb group (at 24 h) showed that Fe/C stimulated the production of soluble microbial products (SMP) in wastewater. SMP alleviated the inhibition of sulfate, promoting AnGS to reduce Sb(V). Sb(V) could be reduced to Sb(III) both by AnGS and sulfides produced from sulfate reduction. Further analysis of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and AnGS showed that Fe/C increased the adsorbed Sb(V) in EPS and the c-type cytochrome content in AnGS, which may be beneficial for Sb(V) removal. Sb(V) reduction in Fe/C + S + Sb group may be related to the genus Acinetobacter, while in Sb group, several bacteria may be involved in Sb(V) reduction, such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Corynebacterium. This study provided insights into Fe/C-enhanced Sb(V) removal from sulfate-rich wastewater.

Evaluation of aquaporin based biomimetic forward osmosis membrane in terms of rejection performance for contaminants in greywater and its membrane fouling properties.

Forward osmosis (FO) technology is regarded as an alternative to wastewater treatment due to its high permeate flux, excellent solute selectivity and low fouling tendency. In this study, two novel aquaporin based biomimetic membranes (ABMs) were used for comparison in short-term experiments to investigate the impact of membrane surface properties on greywater treatment. The impact of feed solution (FS) temperature on the filtration performance and membrane fouling behavior of ABM was further analyzed in the sequential batch experiments. Results indicated that the membranes with rough surface morphology and low zeta potential (absolute value) facilitated the adsorption of linear alklybezene sulfonates (LAS), thus improving the water flux and the rejection of Ca2+ and Mg2+. The increase in FS temperature enhanced the diffusion of organic matter and the water flux. In addition, sequential batch experiments showed that the membrane fouling layer was mainly in the form of organic and inorganic composite fouling, which was mitigated at FS temperature of 40 °C. Microbial community analysis revealed that the increase in FS temperature affected the diversity of microbial communities. More heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria were enriched in the fouling layer at FS 40 °C than at FS 20 °C. This study provides a novel strategy for employing ABM FO in greywater treatment and reuse.
