Huma Sanawar,Ingrid S.M. Pinel,Nadia Farhat,Sz.S. Bucs,Jure Zlopasa,Joop C. Kruithof,Geert-Jan Witkamp,Geert-Jan Witkamp,M.C.M. van Loosdrecht,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder +10 more
TL;DR: The applicability of urea as an alternative, economical, eco-friendly and effective chemical cleaning agent for the control of biological fouling was successfully demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of metal ions on structural EPS hydrogels from aerobic granular sludge.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the gelling mechanism of structural EPS is not only related to metal ion complexation of the polymers, but to a combination of interactions of multiple functional groups present in structural EPS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of Highly Ordered Sodium Alginate/Montmorillonite Bionanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a highly ordered alginate/montmorillonite bionanocomposite structure is presented, which is determined by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the suitability of lab-scale Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) results for full-scale applications was investigated, and two fullscale RO modules were analyzed to compare CIP efficiency in terms of water flux recovery and biofouling properties (biomass content, Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) composition and EPS adherence).
