Abstract

● The fouling is summarized based on ceramic membrane performance and pollutants.

● The current research methods and theoretical models are summarized.

● The membrane fouling control methods and collaborative technology are reviewed.

Membrane separation, as an important drinking water treatment technology, has wide applications. The remarkable advantages of ceramic membranes, such as chemical stability, thermal stability, and high mechanical strength, endow them with broader prospects for development. Despite the importance and advantages of membrane separation in water treatment, the technique has a limitation: membrane fouling, which greatly lowers its effectiveness. This is caused by organics, inorganic substances, and microorganisms clogging the pore and polluting the membrane surface. The increase in membrane pollution greatly lowers purification effectiveness. Controlling membrane fouling is critical in ensuring the efficient and stable operation of ceramic membranes for water treatment. This review analyzes four mechanisms of ceramic membrane fouling, namely complete blocking, standard blocking, intermediate blocking, and cake filtration blocking. It evaluates the mechanisms underlying ceramic membrane fouling and summarizes the progress in approaches aimed at controlling it. These include ceramic membrane pretreatment, ceramic membrane surface modification, membrane cleaning, magnetization, ultrasonics, and nanobubbles. This review highlights the importance of optimizing ceramic membrane preparation through further research on membrane fouling and pre-membrane pretreatment mechanisms. In addition, combining process regulations with ceramic membranes as the core is an important research direction for ceramic membrane-based water treatment.

Membrane typeTreated waterModel typeResearch backgroundReference
CeramicSeawaterHermia’s ModelMembrane fouling is controlled by a combination of several blocking mechanisms, with cake-filtration blocking contributing the most to the reduction of permeation flux. And with the increase of membrane surface flux, the decrease of membrane flux tends to slow down.Ma et al. (2010a)
CeramicSimulated surface waterHermia’s ModelMembrane surface retention and membrane pore adsorption were the mainly removal routes. The first and third stages of membrane fouling mainly caused by complete blocking, and the second stage was mainly controlled by standard blocking. The study found that humic acid would cause both the pore blocking and the fouling of the membrane surface when turbidity was present.Yang et al. (2021)
OrganicDrinking waterResistance-in-series model + Hermia’s ModelA combination of pore-blocking and cake-filtration blocking is the main mechanisms responsible for membrane fouling.Xing et al. (2021)
OrganicHigh alkalinity organic wastewaterResistance-in-series model + Modified Hermia’s ModelIn membrane fouling in high salinity organic wastewater, Al3+ is closely related to irreversible membrane scaling.Cai et al. (2022)
