TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the fouling control in ultra-filtration technology for drinking water production in terms of different effective pretreatments and operation methods and discussed specific mechanisms and future research required are also discussed.

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.

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.

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.

TL;DR: This paper critically assesses the approaches associated with conventional urban water management in China and emerges that Sponge City has four main principles, these being: urban water resourcing, ecological water management, green infrastructures, and urban permeable pavement.
