Increased tolerance to toxic pollutants and enhanced degradation capabilities of the
bacterial biofilm is often attributed to the matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has become one of the most severe environmental concerns
today. MPs persist in the environment and cause adverse effects in organisms. This review …

Traditional membranes for oil/water separation are subjected to the severe mutual constraint
between selectivity and permeability. Fabricating membranes with extremely high …

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology is one of the most important technologies for
water treatment. However, membrane fouling is an inevitable issue. Membrane fouling leads …

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) which integrates membrane filtration with
anaerobic process, achieves high COD removal (∼ 95%) with short hydraulic retention time …

A review of the characterization and functions of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of
microbial aggregates in biological wastewater treatment systems is presented in this paper …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are known to crucially affect the properties and
performance of activated sludge, but the detailed influential mechanisms and the pertinence …

Compared with the traditional activated sludge process, a membrane bioreactor (MBR) has
many advantages, such as good effluent quality, small floor space, low residual sludge yield …

Though sludge foaming often occurs and thus causes serious membrane fouling in
membrane bioreactors (MBRs), the fouling mechanisms related with the foaming …

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been regarded as prominent nanofiller to
manufacture high-performance mixed-matrix membranes. However, their efficient …
