Particles suspended within feed flow or added into membrane-filtration systems may behave
as foulant or fouling mitigation agent. The fine boundary between these two roles warrant …

Low pressure membrane (LPM) filtration is a promising technology for drinking water
production, wastewater reclamation as well as pretreatment for seawater desalination …

Wastewater reclamation has increasingly become popular to secure potable water supply.
Low-pressure membrane processes such as microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) play …

The reactivity of dissolved effluent organic matter (EfOM) in the process of ozonation was
examined. Under different ozone dosages (0.42±0.09, 0.98±0.11 and 2.24±0.17 mgO 3/mg …

Despite plenty of literatures focused on the application of pre-ozonation prior to membrane,
it was still unclear about the role of divalent cations (Ca 2+ and Mg 2+) in reverse osmosis …

This study examined the biodegradation of two pharmaceuticals-acetaminophen, and
ibuprofen, and one natural organic surrogate-salicylic acid, by bacteria seeded from …

The feasibility of pyrite as catalysts in the persulfate oxidation and electron donor for
subsequent bacterial denitrification was investigated. The results demonstrated that pyrite …

The application of ozone pre-treatment for ultrafiltration (UF) in drinking water treatment has
been studied for more than 10 years, but its performance in mitigating or exacerbating …

Membrane fouling by influent biopolymers, and the formation of surface biofilms, are major
obstacles to the practical application of membrane technologies. Identifying reliable and …

In this study, microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) of surface water were compared in
terms of irreversible fouling and effective pretreatment. Hollow-fiber MF/UF membranes …
