Particles suspended within feed flow or added into membrane-filtration systems may behave
as foulant or fouling mitigation agent. The fine boundary between these two roles warrant …

Numerous reports have documented the interactions of fluorescent dissolved organic matter
(FDOM) with other compounds such as metals and trace contaminants by characterizing the …

This work reports outcomes of a pilot trial and practical assessment of direct contact
membrane distillation (DCMD) towards achieving zero liquid discharge at a textile …

In this study, size exclusion chromatography with an array of absorbance, fluorescence,
organic nitrogen and organic carbon detectors was used for characterizing property and …

Recently, the unification of photocatalytic degradation and hydrophilic properties has
received a remarkable attention in membrane-based operation. In this study, the PVDF …

Proteins are important constituents of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aqueous
environments, and their interaction with humic acid (HA), another key component of DOM …

Membrane fouling by dissolved organic matter (DOM), especially microbially-derived DOM,
is a major challenge for ultrafiltration (UF) membranes in water purification. Fouling may be …

This study evaluated the long-term dissolved organic matter (DOM), phosphorus and
nitrogen removal performance of a commercially available conventional anion exchange …

Adsorption of organic matter on membranes plays a major role in determining the fouling
behaviour of membranes. This study investigated effluent organic matter (EfOM) adsorption …

Two challenges to low-pressure membrane (LPM) filtration are limited rejection of dissolved
organic matter (DOM) and membrane fouling by DOM. The magnetic ion exchange resin …
