Today, membrane technologies play a big role in chemical industry, especially in separation
engineering. Tannic acid, one of the most famous polyphenols, has attracted widespread …

Pharmaceuticals have become contaminants of emerging concern due to their toxicity
towards aquatic life and pseudo persistent nature in the environment. Membrane bioreactor …

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

In this study, fouling propensities of loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances (LB-
EPSs) and tightly bound EPSs (TB-EPSs) in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) were …

The presence of pharmaceutical micropollutants in water and wastewater is considered a
serious environmental issue. To eliminate these pollutants, biodegradation of …

There is a great interest to develop efficient fire-resistant materials. While ethylene vinyl
acetate (EVA) is a widely used material, it suffers from the problem of relatively high …

Fabrication of membranes with high antifouling and self-cleaning ability is a long-term
pursuit of research community. For this purpose, the current work proposed a strategy to use …

Fouling behaviors of polysaccharides vary with their structure, while the mechanisms
underlying this phenomenon remain unexplored. This work was carried out to explore the …

Doping of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with active agents is highly desirable, as it can
lead to increased photocatalytic efficiency, compared to the bare framework. Herein, Ag-X …

Due to the flexibility of operation, high removal ability, and economic cost, separation
membranes have proved to be one of the most significant technologies in various aspects …
