Membrane fouling remains a tremendous obstacle in the implementation of membrane
technology, which has motivated the use of a wide range of experimental techniques to …

More than two decades after the highly-cited review on microfiltration of suspensions and
macromolecular solutions, it is time to revisit and update the fundamentals and applications …

Microalgal encapsulation technology is expected to broaden more possibilities for
employing microalgae for upgrading conventional biological wastewater treatment …

While surface morphology is the key parameter affecting membrane performance, its exact
roles on membrane fouling have not well unveiled. In this study, effects of membrane surface …

In this study, discarded cigarette butts were used as a precursor for preparing magnetic
porous biochar with a facile annealing method. The magnetic porous biochar was applied to …

Abstract The three-dimensional (3D) structure of the cake layer, which could be influenced
by water quality factors, plays a significant role in the ultrafiltration (UF) efficiency of water …

To demonstrate the impact of the interaction between fouling substances and membrane
materials on the decline of filtrate flux quantitatively, we developed a novel experimental …

Improving the surface hydrophilicity of the membrane can effectively deal with the
membrane fouling problem in the water treatment process. In this work, the molecular …

The effect of organic fouling on both capacitive deionisation (CDI) and membrane capacitive
deionisation (MCDI) was studied using two model foulants, the sodium salt of alginic acid …

The antifouling process of the membrane is very vital for the highly efficient treatment of
industrial wastewater, especially high salinity wastewater containing oil and other pollutants …
