Membrane fouling by humic substances (HS) is a major problem in UF water treatment. The
complex phenomena involved have been the subject of numerous investigations. HS fouling …

Membrane fouling is one of the major drawbacks for membrane-based technologies
because it leads to severe flux decline which requires the fouled membrane to be cleaned …

Graphene-oxide can be used to modify a polymeric membrane surface to render the surface
less susceptible to organic fouling. In this study, a three-step method is developed to …

Membrane fouling has been recognized as a serious barrier in microfiltration and
ultrafiltration of secondary effluent. Feed pre-treatment is a frequent use for fouling …

Coating by a mussel inspired polydopamine (PDA) is a simple and promising strategy to
modify the hydrophilicity of polymer membrane surfaces. In this work, PDA coating was used …

Human hair, a pervasive waste product, has the potential to pose environmental challenges
due to its widespread accumulation. Therefore, exploring of alternatives that repurpose this …

Hydrophilic modification is a promising method to inhibit fouling formation on ultrafiltration
membrane. In this work, hydrophilic modification on polypropylene (PP) ultrafiltration …

The influence of various polymer concentrations on flux stability of polysulfone membranes
was investigated. The polysulfone membrane was prepared by blending polysulfone in …

Durable polysulfone (PSf) membrane is less suitable for wastewater treatment as it is
susceptible to severe fouling by the natural organic matter. In this work, SAPO-44 zeolite …

The fouling propensity of an inorganic colloid (silica) and an organic (humic acid) and their
mixture was studied in this paper. Fouling propensity was characterized as the modified …
