description | Long term (200 h) continuous operation of a submerged photocatalytic membrane reactor utilizing direct contact membrane distillation (SPMR-DCMD) is presented. Various types of feed contaminated with ketoprofen were treated: brackish water (BW), seawater (SeaW), and secondary wastewater effluent (SE). Ketoprofen decomposition after 24 h exceeded 99.5 %, regardless of feed type. The distillate showed no toxicity to Aliivibrio fischeri. A significant decrease in flux after 100–124 h of BW and SeaW treatment occurred due to scaling, while for SE the flux remained almost constant for 200 h. This indicates that a shorter study would not allow a proper analysis of the process. A scaling layer was formed regardless of feed type, and the formation of CaSO4⋅2H2O, CaCO3 or (Ca,Mg)CO3 was proved. The porous structure of the deposit during SE treatment prevented significant flux deterioration. The formed TiO2 layer protected the membrane from damage by the growing salt crystals. |
