Organic matter (OM) refers to the largest reactive reservoir of carbon-based compounds on
Earth. Aside of its role as a source of carbon, OM is also actively involved in a wide range of …

The proliferation of algal and cyanobacterial blooms globally has led to renewed interest in
understanding the impact of cell populations on water treatment plant (WTP) performance …

Soluble organic compounds released by alkaline (ALK), ultrasonic (ULS) and combined
alkaline-ultrasonic (ALK-ULS) pretreatment as well as their transformation in the anaerobic …

The detailed dissolved organic matters (DOMs) profile by thermal hydrolysis pretreatment
and their transformation during anaerobic digestion (AD) were investigated. Among the …

Organic fouling is still elusive in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination process.
Classifying organics in seawater will provide an in-depth understanding of the important …

Sea ice contains a large amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM), which can be released
into the ocean once it melts. In this study, Arctic sea ice DOM was characterized for its optical …

In order to facilitate the global performance of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) systems, it
is important to improve the feed water quality before it enters the RO. Currently, many …

Although reverse osmosis (RO) currently dominates the global desalination market,
membrane fouling remains a major operational obstacle, which penalizes sustainable plant …

We present the zonal distribution of electroactive humic‐like substances (eHS) along a
section from Offshore Portugal in the North East Atlantic to the Sicily Channel in the …

Worldwide reports over the last few decades have shown that the amount of natural organic
matter (NOM) in surface water is continuously increasing, which has an adverse effect on …
