consisting of pre-coagulation using polyaluminium chloride (PACl) and membrane filtration
(MF) with sponge cubes acting as biomass carriers (P-SMF). When compared to a
conventional MF (CMF) and a MF after coagulation by utilizing PACl (P-MF), better removal
of nutrients, UV 254 and dissolved organic carbon (DOC)(> 65%) was obtained from the P-
SMF. The accumulation of biopolymers (including polysaccharides and proteins), humic …
