Influence of filter aid on MBR perfomance and fouling after high salt shock
The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of diatomite filter aid on fouling and performance of membrane bioreactor (MBR) after high salt shock. The results show that diatomite additive is an effective approach for the performance improvement of both membrane fouling and pollutants removal when MBR was suffering high salt shock. Compared with the control reactor
the performance of MBR is enhanced by addition of 60 mg·L-1 diatomite addition
the removal of COD
NH4+-N and TP increases by 4.9%
3.2% and 74.5%
respectively. It was observed that after high salt shock the membrane fouling rate is significantly higher
about four-fold
for the contrast than for the MBR with diatomite addition. The flocculating and adsorption capacities of diatomite make soluble products of microbial metabolism (SMP) significant decrease. So
the rate of membrane fouling was significantly mitigated. Furthermore
the addition of diatomite makes mean flocs sizes (dp) and its related hydrophobic (RH) increase
which would be beneficial to the mitigation of membrane fouling.
