Assessment of fouling mechanisms on reverse osmosis (RO) membrane during permeation of 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) solutions

Fouling mechanisms are mainly caused by the deposition of organic compounds that reduce the removal efficiency on reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. It can be described by mathematical models. The aim of this study was to evaluate the membrane fouling and rejection mechanisms when aqueous solutions con...

520 |a Fouling mechanisms are mainly caused by the deposition of organic compounds that reduce the removal efficiency on reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. It can be described by mathematical models. The aim of this study was to evaluate the membrane fouling and rejection mechanisms when aqueous solutions containing 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in different concentrations are permeated at 5 and 10 bar in a bench-scale dead-end RO system. Adsorption tests were performed and the fouling mechanism was assessed by Hermia's model for solutions of EE2 at concentrations typically found in the environment (µg L-1). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) has indicated the presence of EE2 on the fouled membrane surface. Membrane rejection of EE2 ranged from 90% to 98% and the main rejection mechanism was size exclusion at all experimental conditions. However, for the higher concentration of EE2 permeated at 5 and 10 bar, adsorption of 7 and 32 mg m-2, respectively, also took place. The rejection was influenced by fouling and concentration polarisation. Fouled membranes present higher rejection of hydrophobic neutral compounds and the concentration polarisation reduces rejection. Hermia's model demonstrated that the permeation values fitted better the standard blocking filtration and cake filtration equations for describing fouling mechanism. This study showed that fouling also occurs in the TFC RO membrane after permeation of EE2, which corroborates with studies using other pollutants
