The large volumes of oily wastewater generated by various industries, such as oil and gas,
food and beverage, and metal processing, need to be de-oiled prior to being discharged into …

One of the greatest challenges to the sustainability of modern society is an inadequate
supply of clean water. Due to its energy-saving and cost-effective features, membrane …

Recently, forward osmosis (FO) has attracted growing attention in many potential
applications such as power generation, desalination, wastewater treatment and food …

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been actively employed for municipal and industrial
wastewater treatments. So far, membrane fouling and the high cost of membranes are main …

Colloids are fine particles whose characteristic size falls within the rough size range of 1–
1000nm. In pressure-driven membrane systems, these fine particles have a strong tendency …

Biofouling is a critical problem in many membrane filtration processes. This review highlights
the emerging strategies for polymer membrane modifications using organic and inorganic …

The operation of spiral wound modules in industrial plants is affected by many parameters,
including the operating conditions, the arrangements of the spiral wound modules in arrays …

The effect of hydrodynamic conditions, membrane properties, and feed solution chemistry on
membrane fouling by bovine serum albumin (BSA) was systematically investigated under …

A laboratory-scale membrane filtration cell was constructed to enable direct microscopic
observation of microbial cell deposition and release in cross-flow microfiltration. Initial …

Physicochemical factors governing initial rates of microbial deposition onto reverse osmosis
