Abstract:

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. This chapter provides an overview on the development and application of aerobic membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems for municipal wastewater treatment in recent years (after 2008). Nutrient removal in aerobic MBR could be improved by combining with anoxic and/or anaerobic processes, or adding biomass carriers. Nevertheless, wide application of aerobic MBR is still limited by micropollutants removal and membrane fouling. Aerobic MBR systems coupled with reverse osmosis or with addition of biomass carriers significantly improve removal of micropollutants. On the other hand, membrane fouling propensity varies with bound extracellular polymer substances, sludge supernatant (polysaccharides), and operating conditions. The presence of micropollutants stimulates the production of soluble microbial products, which aggravates membrane fouling. Application of powdered activated carbon and plastic carriers could enhance sludge properties and effectively mitigate membrane fouling. Future research trends are finally given, such as development of new media and novel flocculants, etc.
