Abstract—The forward osmosis membrane bioreactor
(OMBR) is a kind of new treatment technology which applied
forward osmosis technology to the membrane bioreactor. In this
paper, the OMBR was adopted to tackle with the typical
antibiotic wastewater.The influence of orientation was
investigated. The results showed that the magnesium chloride
solution with high osmotic pressure is advantageous for OMBR
due to its superior membrane flux and a better producing water
quality and the membrane flux decreases with a rise of the
concentration of sewage and sludge. In this condition, the
removal rate of COD and norfloxacin is 84.21% and 93.70%,
respectively.
Index Terms—Forward osmosis technology, antibiotic
wastewater, treatment technology, membrane flux.
