The application of membrane technology for water treatment and reuse is hampered by the
development of a microbial biofilm. Biofilm growth in micro-and ultrafiltration (MF/UF) …

To consolidate the position of membrane distillation (MD) as an emerging membrane
technology that meets global water challenges, it is crucial to develop membranes with ideal …

We have reported on the potential use of membrane distillation (MD) to remove emerging
pollutants from wastewater as an alternative to other biological and chemical treatments. For …

Herein, we explored resistance to fouling and the bactericidal potential of a functionalized
carbon nanotube (CNT)-based polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. Humic acid (HA) …

In an attempt to advance GO-based environmental applications, herein we probed the anti-
biofouling properties and mechanisms of graphene oxide (GO) surface coating. A flexible …

Pressure-driven filtration using membrane technology holds promise for the treatment of
produced water but is restricted by the problem of fouling. Fouling is the accumulation of …

This paper examines the efficiency of chemical cleaning of flat sheet UF membranes
severely fouled by rendering plant secondary effluent. The rendering plant secondary …

In wastewater treatment, filtration membranes that are used for extended periods of time
must inevitably be cleaned with chemical agents that can influence the membrane …

Although microfiltration (MF) system has been employed as pretreatment for reclamation, the
MF process is prone to irreversible fouling by secondary effluents as feed. In particular, flat …

This study demonstrates the application of in situ ferrate (Fe (VI)) for the efficient removal of
dissolved algal organic matter (AOM) from seawater. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and …
