Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling in membrane bioreactors used in wastewater treatment
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of more than 300 publications on membrane bioreactor fouling is presented, and the authors propose updated definitions of key parameters such as critical and sustainable flux, along with standard methods to determine and measure the different fractions of the biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges and opportunities for mixed-matrix membranes for gas separation
TL;DR: In this article, a review of major challenges surrounding mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) and strategies to tackle these challenges are given in detail, and major models for separation performance prediction of MMM are reviewed in terms of their interrelations and limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of mechanical and chemical modification of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface chemistry, structure and fouling performance of PES ultrafiltration membranes
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of chemical and mechanical modifications was found to have significant effects on surface free energy, roughness, surface pore size and protein absorption resistance as well as hydrophilicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for controlling biofouling in membrane filtration systems: challenges and opportunities
TL;DR: In this article, a review highlights the emerging strategies for polymer membrane modifications using organic and inorganic additives and surface modification to mitigate foulant deposition and biofilm formation in many membrane filtration processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superhydrophobic modification of TiO2 nanocomposite PVDF membranes for applications in membrane distillation
TL;DR: In this paper, the anti-fouling performance of virgin and modified membranes were examined in a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process using sodium chloride and humic acid solution as a model feed.
