Research Trends

Influence of membrane orientation and organic fouling on boron and arsenic removal by forward osmosis membrane
Membrane orientation and organic fouling have been investigated in terms of their influence on the performance of forward osmosis membranes in the removal of boron and arsenic. Rejection of both was higher in FO mode compared to the pressure-driven RO mode.
Improved water quality in response to pollution control measures at Masan Bay, Korea
This study evaluates the first application of a pollutant abatement policy in a highly developed coastal area of Korea. Land–sea pollutant interactions were addressed by a six-year systematic monitoring effort, and a reduction in land-based pollutants was successfully achieved by control of point sources.
Review of treatment technologies for water reverse osmosis concentrates
This review paper looks at treatment technologies for reverse osmosis (RO) concentrates. The analysis considers volume reduction of the effluent, reducing the pollutant load, and the recovery of valuable compounds, salts and nutrients. It also considers advanced techniques aimed at zero liquid discharge.
Integrated approach to evaluate emerging contaminants in Brazilian drinking water
Estrogen and xenoestrogen levels have been chemical and biologically assessed in raw and drinking water samples from Brazilian intakes. It was found that estrogenicity is a better guiding parameter to select samples and chemical substances to be investigated. This integrated approach can guide the development of adequate treatment technologies.
Flux patterns and propensity for membrane fouling during desalination of seawater by forward osmosis
This study of seawater desalination by forward osmosis found that the dominant inorganic fouling is caused by polymerised silica scaling, in which the fouling layer comprises silica scaling surrounded by biopolymers. While the flux saw a significant decrease, it can be partially recovered by water flushing.

Water recycling in the brewing industry
Effluent should be recycled back into brewery operations with less reticence than is currently the case, according to South African wastewater specialists Talbot & Talbot. Throughout many parts of the world there are areas or entire regions where water is scarce and water quality highly suspect. In these situations beer quality is often compromised and production schedule disrupted. The use of properly treated effluent presents the brewer with a safer option and greater security of supply.

Potable water: New technology enables use of alternative water sources
Anthony Bennett looks at alternative sources of water and examines how they can be treated by advanced filtration and separation technologies to reduce the pressure on potable water sources.
WEFTEC 2010 WEFTEC 2010
Ranked in the top 1% of all trade shows in North America, and the largest annual water quality exhibition in the world, this year's WEFTEC will be held on 2–6 October 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Filtration + Separation canvassed some exhibitors to find out what would be on display.
Wastewater recycling to potable water standards
With increasing pressures on water supplies, water recycling in food and drinks production has become a much higher priority. A UK-based food processor is using membrane bioreactors to recycle wastewater to potable water standards.
