Oilfield produced water (OPW) is one of the most important by-products, resulting from oil
and gas exploration. The water contains a complex mixture of organic and inorganic …

For decades, micropollutants are ubiquitous in our daily life, from the industrial manufacture
to the indispensable food or medicine. Increasing techniques have received satisfactory …

The biological removal of 38 trace organics (pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors,
personal care products and pesticides) was studied in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor …

Low-pressure membrane (LPM) filtration, including microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration
(UF), is a promising technology for the treatment of surface water for drinking and other …

Fouling and cleaning of membranes are well understood, but long-term changes (ageing)
are not as established. A large body of literature has emerged on membrane ageing in the …

Appropriate selection of cleaning agent is an important factor to achieve a better cleaning
efficiency and this topic has become an ongoing discussion. This work assesses the impacts …

Chemical cleaning is an effective way to remove the irreversible fouling of ultrafiltration (UF)
membranes. However, chemicals can also damage membranes. In order to investigate the …

Removal of pathogenic microorganisms as viruses during drinking water production was
evaluated by ultrafiltration. Two enteric viruses (ADV 41 and CV-B5) were compared to the …

The photocatalytic degradation of 33 trace organics contaminants (TrOCs), including drugs,
analgesics, antibiotics, surfactants or herbicides, has been evaluated using Aeroxide® P25 …

Cleaning of the flat sheet nanofiltration membranes, using backflushing, chemical cleaning,
and ultrasonication operated individually as well as in combination with chemicals, has …
