Abstract：

Ultrafiltration, which is an important water treatment technology, has broad application prospects in the drinking water treatment industry. However, the membrane fouling would enlarge the operation cost and shorten membrane life span, limiting its further application. This paper summarized the recent progress in the studies on the ultrafiltration membrane fouling including main foulant identification, fouling mechanism and various pretreatment technologies. It was widely considered that the hydrophilic macromolecular organic in natural water was the major membrane pollutants, and that the pretreatment technologies such as coagulation, adsorption and membrane pre-oxidation pretreatment were unable to eliminate the membrane fouling caused by hydrophilic organic macromolecules. In addition, the internal mechanism leading to the pore blocking, pore construction and cake layer fouling were limitedly known, requiring further studies. Overall, it is of great significance to develop the hybrid process for drinking water treatment, putting an emphasis on the fouling by the hydrophilic and macromolecular organic matter.
