This study developed a new protocol to prepare feed spacers in the membrane module, by
combining the optimization of spacers' geometrical parameters with subsequent chemical …

To find a balance between feed flow rate and energy penalty, the hydrodynamic effects of
non-uniform feed spacer structures on energy loss and mass transfer in spiral wound …

Membrane surface treatment to modify anti-(bio) fouling resistivity plays a key role in
membrane technology. This paper reports on the successful use of air-stimulated surface …

This study used numerical simulation to investigate the effects of a novel permeable
cylindrical-flow distributor on energy loss and mass transfer in reverse osmosis (RO) …

In recent years, batch and semi-batch reverse osmosis (RO) processes have received wide
attention because of their internal staging feature. However their performance is severely …

Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) can inhibit biofilm formation by regulating the synthesis of
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), thus alleviating biofouling in the membrane …
