The goal of the current article is to update new findings in membrane fouling and emerging
fouling mitigation strategies reported in recent years (post 2010) as a follow-up to our …

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been widely used in wastewater treatment and
reclamation. Membrane cleaning is an essential part during the operation of MBRs since …

The use of biologically activated carbon (BAC) in drinking water purification is reviewed. In
the past BAC is seen mostly as a polishing treatment. However, BAC has the potential to …

This review summarizes the recent development and studies of anaerobic membrane
bioreactor (AnMBR) to control fouling issues. AnMBR is an emerging waste water treatment …

In-situ chemical cleaning with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is often employed for
maintaining constant permeability in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). In this study, the effect …

In this study, the fate of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and detached membrane foulants and
their impacts on the thermodynamic properties of raw sludge were investigated in a …

As cost-effective and high-efficient oxidants, the hypochlorite chemicals have been widely
utilized for bleaching and disinfection. However, its potential applications in wastewater …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are key foulants in membrane bioreactors (MBRs).
However, their positive functions of protecting microorganisms from environmental stresses …

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been widely used for municipal and industrial
wastewater treatment around the world due to their advantages, which include higher …

Fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a bottleneck problem limiting their application. In-
situ fouling control strategies have been continuously developed for decades, and can be …
