In this study, the NaClO-assisted backwash was used to mitigate membrane fouling in anaerobic ceramic membrane bioreactors (AnCMBRs) treating domestic wastewater. Four NaClO concentrations (Cbₐcₖwₐₛₕ) – 0.05, 0.25, 1 and 10 mg/L were used for backwash. In general, the effectiveness of NaClO-assisted backwash is the balance of two forces – foulants removal from membranes (i.e., the direct effect) and modification of mixed liquor (i.e., the indirect effect). With increased Cbₐcₖwₐₛₕ, the direct effect of NaClO was enhanced through removal of more proteins. The indirect effect of NaClO was more complicated. The biodegradability of organics in the wastewater and the microbial activities of biomass were improved with low Cbₐcₖwₐₛₕ. However, high Cbₐcₖwₐₛₕ deteriorated cell metabolism and led to excessive production of cell lytic products. Optimal Cbₐcₖwₐₛₕ that was used in this study – the Cbₐcₖwₐₛₕ that provided the best fouling mitigation and acceptable treatment performances – was 1 mg/L.
