Most of the municipal solid wastes (MSW) produced daily in the world are being buried in
landfilling sites without any prior treatment particularly in develo** countries. These …

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been widely used in wastewater treatment and
reclamation. Membrane cleaning is an essential part during the operation of MBRs since …

Ultrafiltration (UF) is one of the best options for both one-stage and as part of multi-stage
water and wastewater purification. This review summarises the known facts about the fouling …

Recent studies have shown that membrane surface morphology and structure influence
permeability, rejection, and colloidal fouling behavior of reverse osmosis (RO) and …

The contribution of acid–base (AB)(polar) interactions to the total interaction energy between
membranes and colloids was investigated. The surface energetics of several membranes …

Forward osmosis (FO) is an emerging permeation-driven membrane technology that
manifests advantages of low energy consumption, low operating pressure, and …

We investigate clogging of microchannels at the single-pore level using microfluidic devices
as model porous media. The process of clogging is studied at low volume fractions and high …

The goal of this study is to determine the impact of various operating factors on membrane
fouling in activated sludge membrane bioreactor (MBR) process, typically used for water …

A laboratory-scale crossflow membrane filtration apparatus was designed to investigate the
relative influence of filter geometry and shear rate on colloidal fouling of reverse osmosis …

Effluent organic matter (EfOM) is suspected as a major cause of fouling of reverse osmosis
(RO) membranes in advanced wastewater reclamation. Among the main constituents in …
