Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of dissolved extracellular organic matter (dEOM) and bound extracellular organic matter (bEOM) of Microcystis aeruginosa and their impacts on UF membrane fouling
TL;DR: Result of UF experiments indicated that dEOM which had a higher organic content and stronger hydrophilicity caused more severe flux decline and reversible fouling, and that bEOM led to slower flux decline but more irreversible fouling due to less electrostatic repulsive and more hydrophobic adhesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafiltration membrane fouling by extracellular organic matters (EOM) of Microcystis aeruginosa in stationary phase: influences of interfacial characteristics of foulants and fouling mechanisms.
TL;DR: It was found that high molecular weight (MW) and hydrophilic organics accounted for the major parts of algal EOM which was comprised of protein-like, polysaccharide-like and humic-like substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafiltration membrane fouling caused by extracellular organic matter (EOM) from Microcystis aeruginosa: Effects of membrane pore size and surface hydrophobicity
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of membrane pore size and surface hydrophobicity on ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouling caused by extracellular organic matter (EOM) from Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applying ultraviolet/persulfate (UV/PS) pre-oxidation for controlling ultrafiltration membrane fouling by natural organic matter (NOM) in surface water.
TL;DR: In this study, ultraviolet/persulfate (UV/PS) oxidation was employed as a pretreatment to control membrane fouling caused by natural organic matter (NOM) in surface water, and irreversible fouling by NOM was significantly retarded by the UV/PS pretreatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of pre-ozonation on ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouling caused by different natural organic matter (NOM) fractions were investigated, and three typical organic model foulants, humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were selected as representatives of different NOM fractions in natural waters.
