Abstract:
Landfill leachate contains high concentrations of hazardous pollutants that require effective treatment before discharge. Membrane distillation (MD) has emerged as a promising approach for leachate treatment, but membrane fouling remains a major challenge for its practical application. This study introduces an innovative in situ catalytic MD membrane to improve antifouling performance. The MnO2-doped polyvinylidene fluoride (M-PVDF) membrane was prepared via electrospinning, incorporating an optimized amount of MnO2 and fluoroalkyl modifier. The M-PVDF membrane demonstrated excellent retention of landfill leachate pollutants across all test cycles, achieving retention rates above 99.23% for non-ammonia foulants. No membrane wetting was observed in M-PVDF during the cyclic tests, whereas conventional PVDF membranes exhibited wetting in the third cycle. The fouled M-PVDF membrane was effectively restored after cleaning with H2O2, regaining its original flux and demonstrating robust self-cleaning capabilities. This performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of micro-nano bubbles and MnO2-catalyzed H2O2 free radicals. The proposed in situ catalytic self-cleaning strategy significantly enhances the antifouling properties of MD, providing a sustainable solution for high-salinity wastewater treatment.
