Membrane fouling remains a notorious problem in microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF),
and a systematic understanding of the fouling mechanisms is fundamental for solving this …

Soluble microbial products (SMPs) are the predominate foulants determining fouling extent
in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). However, exact mechanism underlying their typical …

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 …

Ceramic membranes are gaining rapid traction in water and wastewater treatment
applications due to their inherent advantages, such as chemical/thermal stability, low fouling …

Microalgae adhesion plays a critical role in developing effective photobioreactors for large-
scale production of microalgae biofuel. This study focused on elucidating the influencing …

The relationship between fouling development in a continuous laboratory-scale membrane
reactor (MBR/Lab) and the membrane material was investigated using flat-sheet …

In order to explore the effect of particle-size distribution (PSD) on the shear characteristics
and deformation characteristics of slip zone soil, 13 sets of medium-sized shear tests were …

The objective of this study was to optimize and to model the membrane fouling process. The
modeling was based on two approaches, dynamical and phenomenological with the …

Organic membrane fouling is a major obstacle to the application of membrane distillation in
low surface tension wastewater treatment. Membrane modification might be an effective way …

Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) treatment and reuse equipment of high salinity wastewater in
coal-chemical industry often occur in various types of blockage problems because of high …
