Impacts of electric field coupled membrane bioreactor on phenol wastewater with high salinity: Performance, membrane fouling and eco-friendly strategy
Journal of Water Process Engineering(2024)
摘要
Electric field coupled membrane bioreactor (EMBR) enhanced the treatment performance of phenol wastewater with high salinity, improved sludge settleability, and alleviated membrane fouling. The sludge volume index (SVI) and fouling rate were positively correlated with the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) content, indicating that the electric field improved sludge settleability by improving the properties of EPS, successfully reducing the fouling rate by 42.86 %. The phenol-degrading and salt-tolerant genera were enriched, and the EPS secretion genera were reduced in EMBR. Moreover, EMBR effectively resisted salt stress by increasing the relative abundance of betaine synthesis (betA) and transport genes (proV and proW), glutamate synthesis genes (gltB and gltD), salt stress response gene (rpoS), and F-type H+/Na+-transport ATPase genes (atpA and atpD), as well as reducing the relative abundance of genes related to cell membrane permeability. Meanwhile, EMBR decreased the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), activated the antioxidant system and inhibited the ROS-mediated Save our Soul (SOS) response, which further improved salt tolerance of microorganisms. Furthermore, the inhibition of the SOS response reduced the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The co-occurrence patterns of ARGs and genera indicated that EMBR could also suppress the dissemination of ARGs by reducing the relative abundance of ARGs hosts.
