Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) in membrane bioreactors: Characteristics, roles in membrane fouling and control strategies
Hongjun Lin,Meijia Zhang,Fangyuan Wang,Fangang Meng,Bao-Qiang Liao,Huachang Hong,Jianrong Chen,Weijue Gao +7 more
TL;DR: The fundamentals of EPSs including definitions, compositions and properties, and factors affecting EPSs production and characteristics are summarized and based on which, EPSs control towards membrane fouling mitigation in MBRs are comprehensively discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on anaerobic membrane bioreactors: Applications, membrane fouling and future perspectives
TL;DR: In the last years, anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) technology is being considered as a very appealing alternative for wastewater treatment due to the significant advantages over conventional anaerobobic treatment and aerobic membrane bioresistability as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane fouling in a membrane bioreactor: High filtration resistance of gel layer and its underlying mechanism
Jianrong Chen,Meijia Zhang,Fengquan Li,Lei Qian,Hongjun Lin,Lining Yang,Xi-Lin Wu,Xiaoling Zhou,Yiming He,Bao-Qiang Liao +9 more
TL;DR: Simulation of the mechanism model showed that the filtration resistance induced by mixing chemical potential variation was comparable to the experimental data of filTration resistance of agar gel layer, indicating that the proposed mechanism is the predominant mechanism responsible for the high filtation resistance of gel layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A unified thermodynamic mechanism underlying fouling behaviors of soluble microbial products (SMPs) in a membrane bioreactor
Jiaheng Teng,Meijia Zhang,K.T. Leung,Jianrong Chen,Huachang Hong,Hongjun Lin,Hongjun Lin,Bao-Qiang Liao +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that, although being low content, SMPs rather than sludge particulates preferentially adhered to membrane surface to accumulate a gel layer, and specific filtration resistance of S MPs was approximately 700 times larger than that of the sludge particle at operational day 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic insights into alginate fouling caused by calcium ions based on terahertz time-domain spectra analyses and DFT calculations.
Meijia Zhang,Huachang Hong,Hongjun Lin,Liguo Shen,Haiying Yu,Guangcai Ma,Jianrong Chen,Bao-Qiang Liao +7 more
TL;DR: This study provided the mechanistic insights into membrane fouling and "chemical potential gap" depicted by Flory-Huggins theory was suggested to be responsible for the filtration behaviors of alginate solution caused by calcium addition.
