Among different types of membrane fouling, biofouling is a critical issue which can significantly reduce the process productivity. If the initial phase of the microorganism attachment to the pore wall is prevented, a remarkable reduction in biofilm formation can be obtained. A novel approach to achieve this goal is the infusion of the porous membrane with an infusion liquid (oil) forming liquid-infused membranes (LIMs). It has been shown that the pore wall during permeation is still covered with the infusion liquid forming so-called liquid-lined pores. The liquid-lining can enhance anti-biofouling performance by preventing direct contact between the microorganisms and pore wall. Here, we investigate the capability of LIMs in mitigation of biofouling by conducting long-term cross-flow filtration experiments at constant flow rate for approximately 10–20 days. The results show significantly lower increase in transmembrane pressure (TMP) values for LIMs compared to non-infused counterparts (dry membranes). The bacterial growth curves are further investigated by fitting a sigmoidal function (logistic model). Approximately 4 times increase in the lag period λ and 7 times decrease in the bacterial growth rate μm are observed for LIMs compared to dry membranes revealing improved anti-biofouling performance of LIMs.

液体注入膜在减轻生物污染方面的应用

在不同类型的膜污染中,生物污染是一个关键问题,它可能会大大降低工艺生产率。如果阻止了微生物附着在孔壁上的初始阶段,则可以大大减少生物膜的形成。实现该目标的一种新颖方法是将多孔膜与输注液体(油)一起输注,形成液体输注膜(LIM)。已经显示出,渗透过程中的孔壁仍然被注入液体覆盖,形成了所谓的带液孔。液体衬里可通过防止微生物与孔壁之间的直接接触来增强防污性能。这里,我们通过在恒定流速下进行约10–20天的长期错流过滤实验,研究了LIM在减轻生物结垢方面的能力。结果表明,与未注入的对应物(干膜)相比,LIM的跨膜压力(TMP)值增加幅度明显更低。通过拟合S形函数(逻辑模型)进一步研究细菌的生长曲线。滞后时间增加约4倍λ和7倍,在细菌生长速率降低μ是为比较干燥的膜的LIM观察透出改善防生物结垢的LIM的性能。
