TL;DR: In this article, different nanocomposite membrane fabrication and modification techniques for mixed matrix membranes and thin film membranes for both pressure driven and non-pressure driven membranes using different types of nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, and polymers are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assimilable organic carbon (AOC) and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC):: complementary measurements
TL;DR: In a two-year monitoring of a water treatment plant that switched its treatment process from chlorination to chlorination and ozonation, it was observed that the plant effluent AOC increased by 127% while BD OC increased by 49% after the introduction of ozone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial growth in distribution systems: effect of assimilable organic carbon and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon.
TL;DR: Bacterial growth in the distribution systems was found to correlate with AOC concentrations, and no significant correlation was found between bacteria growth on R2A agar and BDOC concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of water chemistries and properties of membrane on the performance and fouling—a model development study
TL;DR: In this paper, a factorial design was employed to integrate four independent factors, i.e., membrane type, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) composition, divalent cation and monovalent cation, to investigate their influences on specific flux decline and fouling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of assimilable organic carbon and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon by reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes
TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration under various solution chemistries, on bacterial regrowth potential as quantified by assimilable organic carbon and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC), was evaluated.
