A novel magnetic resonance measurement (MRM) protocol for non-invasive monitoring of
fouling in spiral wound reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane modules is demonstrated …

Alginate is a group of water-soluble linear polysaccharides comprising of variable units of α-l-
guluronic and β-d-mannuronic acid. The alginates are in high demand in biomedical …

Massive amounts of agricultural and industrial water worldwide are polluted by different
types of contaminants that harm the environment and impact human health. Removing the …

Mass transfer in biofilms is determined by diffusion. Different mostly invasive approaches
have been used to measure diffusion coefficients in biofilms, however, data on …

Biofilm growth in porous media is difficult to study non‐invasively due to the opaqueness
and heterogeneity of the systems. Magnetic resonance is utilized to non‐invasively study …
