Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a major barrier to the stable and efficient operation of
seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants. Although the intensity varies …

Membrane technologies have been extensively used in municipal or industrial wastewater
reuse, desalination, and other water treatment processes. However, the inevitable …

While transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) is a major foulant, and ethylene diamine
tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a strong chelating agent frequently used for fouling mitigation in …

The use of membrane-based technology has evolved into an important strategy for
supplying freshwater from seawater and wastewater to overcome the problems of water …

Marine harmful algae bloom (HAB) is a growing threat to desalination plants worldwide. This
work proposes ferrous iron/peroxymonosulfate (Fe 2+/PMS) as a novel pretreatment …

Persulfate based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is an emerging method to assist the
pretreatment to prevent membrane fouling for seawater desalination. However, the present …

The integration of membrane filtration and catalytic ozonation is increasingly investigated in
micro-polluted wastewater treatment, whereas membrane fouling still inhibits its practical …

Membrane fouling during the ultrafiltration (UF) is a key restricting factor in the treatment of
drinking water. To control membrane fouling, a ferric ion activated dual oxidant …

Transparent exopolymer particles (TEPs) and their precursors play a critical role in various
environmental processes, including contaminant transport and membrane fouling. This …

The effects of discharged brine from desalination plants, particularly brine containing algal
toxins during harmful agal bloom (HAB) occurrence, are a major concern for marine life and …
