Abstract
An innovative hybrid system combining self-forming dynamic membrane bioreactor (SFDMBR) with coagulation process was developed to treat bleaching wastewater from pulping process. Pilot-scale experimental results showed that the average removal effi ciencies of chemical oxygen (COD) demand and lignin by the SFDMBR were over 80% and 51%, respectively. The fairly good treatment performances can be attributed partly to the high biomass concentration (i.e. -10 g/L) maintained in the SFDMBR, and partly to the more efficient solid-liquid separation achieved by the self-forming dynamic membranes. It was found that the self-forming dynamic membranes can be quickly created, normally less than 60 min, during the initial stage of SFDMBR operation. Effluent turbidity was lower than 5 NTU in most cases. Membrane fouling can be effectively controlled via 5 min online air backwashing at an intensity of 3.2m3·m−2·h−1, and the separation capacity can be restored within 30 min. The effluent of SFDMBR was subsequently treate...
