Article Abstract
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been utilized for maricultural wastewater treatment, where high-salinity stress results in dramatic membrane fouling in the actual process. A microalgal-bacterial symbiotic system (MBSS) offers advantages for photosynthetic oxygen production, dynamically regulating the structure of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and improving the salinity tolerance of bacteria and algae. This study centered on the mechanisms of membrane fouling mitigation via the microalgal-bacterial interactions in the MBSS, including improving the pollutant removal, optimizing the system parameters, and controlling the gel layer formation. Moreover, the contribution of electrochemistry to decreasing the inhibitory effects of high-salinity stress was investigated in the MBSS. Furthermore, patterns of shifts in microbial communities and the impacts have been explored using metagenomic technology. Finally, this review aims to offer new insights for membrane fouling mitigation in actual maricultural wastewater treatment.

Anaerobic self-forming dynamic membrane (AnSFDM) bioreactors have attracted increasing attention owing to their cost-effectiveness and lower carbon footprint. AnSFDM formation is the initial process of their operation and of pivotal importance for determining the basic characteristics of AnSFDMs. Nevertheless, the effect of operational parameters on the AnSFDM formation process has not been studied in a systematical and quantitative manner.

Imaging techniques are important for biofilm studies. Biofilm samples should ideally be visualised with minimal sample preparation so as not to alter their original structure. However, this can be challenging and resource-intensive in most cases.

Methylene blue (MB) remains one of the most resilient contaminants in industrial wastewater which presents serious threats to both environmental integrity and human health. Its high chemical stability and resistance to natural degradation render most conventional treatment methods ineffective. As such, this study aimed to develop a multifunctional nanocomposite membrane that mitigates membrane fouling, enhances dye separation, and improves water permeability.

An innovative composite membrane was developed by combining polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with graphene oxide (GO), titania (TiO), and silica (SiO) nanoparticles (PGTS). This innovative membrane was created using solution casting and electrospinning techniques to enhance its surface area and hydrophilic characteristics, while incorporating photocatalytic properties for light-induced oil decomposition. The membrane structure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

This study investigates the application of magnetite (FeO) and polyaniline (PANI)-functionalized PVDF membranes in anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) for fouling mitigation and bioenergy recovery. Four membranes (PVDF, PANI/PVDF, FeO/PVDF, and FeO@PANI/PVDF) were evaluated over 250 days at fluxes of 2, 4, and 6 LMH. Modified membranes significantly reduced early-stage fouling, with FeO@PANI/PVDF achieving the lowest rate (0.
