The goal of the current article is to update new findings in membrane fouling and emerging
fouling mitigation strategies reported in recent years (post 2010) as a follow-up to our …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) are key biological substances, which largely
determine properties of sludge flocs, including hydrophobicity, adhesion, flocculation …

Anammox bacteria tend to self-aggregate, and biofilm-based anammox processes are
widely used as sustainable alternative methods for nitrogen removal from wastewater …

Granules and flocs have been widely found co-existing in anammox granular systems, but
the segregation mechanism of granules and flocs is still largely unknown. Here, the …

The environmentally friendly ion-exchange membrane (IEM) processes find more and more
applications in the modern industries in order to demineralize, concentrate and modify …

Membrane desalination and water purification technologies have become important energy-
efficient means to secure fresh water resources around the globe. Among the significant …

Aerobic granulation promoted by static magnetic field had been widely noticed because of
its environmental friendliness and economic feasibility. The mechanism of strengthening …

Maintenance of periodontal health or transition to a periodontal lesion reflects the
continuous and ongoing battle between the vast microbial ecology in the oral cavity and the …

The extracellular matrix is an integral part of microbial biofilms and an important field of
research. Confocal laser scanning microscopy is a valuable tool for the study of biofilms, and …

The goal of this study is to help filling the research gaps linked to the on-line application of
