A mini-review on membrane fouling
TL;DR: This mini-review paper identifies the major foulants and the principal membrane fouling mechanisms such as pore blocking, cake formation, concentration polarization, organic adsorption, inorganic precipitation and biological fouling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling and its control in membrane distillation-A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of different fouling mechanisms in the membrane distillation process, their possible mitigation and control techniques, and characterization strategies that can be of help in understanding and minimizing the fouling problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behaviours of natural organic matter in membrane filtration for surface water treatment — a review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss natural organic matter (NOM) and its components as the major membrane fouants that occur during the water filtration process, possible fouling mechanisms relating to reversible and irreversible of NOM fouling, current techniques used to characterize fouling mechanism and methods to control fouling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling and cleaning of ultrafiltration membranes: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarises the known facts about the fouling processes and cleaning procedures and details of the most successful physical and chemical cleaning combinations for one-stage and multi-stage UF membrane cleaning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and understanding of fouling in low-pressure membrane (MF/UF) filtration by natural organic matter (NOM).
TL;DR: F Fouling by NOM was investigated by employing several innovative chemical and morphological analyses that support the notion that membrane roughness may be considered as a more important factor in membrane fouling by controlling interaction between molecules and the membrane surface, compared to the hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of membranes.

Book
Organic geochemistry of natural waters
TL;DR: The first part of the book as mentioned in this paper is a general overview of the amount and general nature of dissolved organic carbon in natural waters, and the second part is a summary of the data that has accumulated from many disciplines over the last decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular weight, polydispersity, and spectroscopic properties of aquatic humic substances.
TL;DR: Data indicate that aquatic fulvic acids, a commercial humic acid, and unfractionated organic matter from four natural water samples are smaller and less polydisperse than previously believed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of hydrophilic organic acids from water using nonionic macroporous resins
TL;DR: In this paper, a method was developed for the isolation of hydrophilic organic acids from aquatic environments using Amberlite ∗ XAD-4 resins in series using a two column array of XAD 8 and XAD 4 resins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of aquatic humic substances on hydrophobic ultrafiltration membranes
Catherine Jucker,Mark M. Clark +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction between Suwannee River humic and fulvic acids and ultrafiltration membranes is characterized by direct adsorption measurements, and the results show that the adsorbing capacity is smaller for fulvic acid than for humic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fouling of microfiltration membranes by NOM after coagulation treatment
TL;DR: In this paper, the causes of fouling were determined for microfiltration of a surface water through a polypropylene hollow-fibre membrane, and the major contribution to fouling was attributed to the NOM fraction comprising small, neutral, hydrophilic compounds.
