Natural organic matter (NOM) is a common occurrence in all raw waters (eg, surface waters,
groundwater, and wastewater) that are used for freshwater production. NOM is a leading …

The presence of high concentrations of heavy metals (potentially toxic elements) in water
bodies generates serious environmental issues and health problems that led to a dramatic …

Recently, interest in the application of direct membrane filtration (DMF) in wastewater
treatment has increased as an alternative to conventional activated sludge technologies …

Dip-coating is a facile method for membrane modification. In this work, composite
polypropylene-based membrane (PP) with improved anti-organic fouling is prepared by …

Coagulation is an effective pre-treatment step for ultrafiltration (UF) drinking water treatment
but is limited by the inability to regulate membrane fouling, particularly organic and …

Detecting the onset of membrane fouling is critical for effectively removing membrane
foulants during microfiltration (MF) separation. This work investigates the use of electrical …

Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) can alleviate the inhibitory effect of sludge
calcification on anaerobic process when treating high-calcium wastewater. However, sludge …

A major challenge in materials science is dynamically adjusting material properties using
sensors and control systems. This contribution develops a new approach using a self …

The present work systematically reviewed vibrating membrane systems as a measure of
fouling control. Frequency and amplitude of vibration, membrane pore size, stacking density …

A complex-function fluid controller placed in front of a membrane module was used to
control the velocity change with feed fluid and reduce membrane fouling. Using humic acid …
