Performance of secondary wastewater treatment methods for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern implicated in crop uptake and antibiotic resistance spread: A review
Pawel Krzeminski,Maria Concetta Tomei,Popi Karaolia,Alette A.M. Langenhoff,C. Marisa R. Almeida,Ewa Felis,Fanny Gritten,Henrik Rasmus Andersen,Telma Fernandes,Célia M. Manaia,Luigi Rizzo,Despo Fatta-Kassinos +11 more
TL;DR: Technological solutions including conventional activated sludge, membrane bioreactors, moving bed biofilm reactors, and nature-based solutions such as constructed wetlands are compared for the achievable removal efficiencies of the selected CEC and their potential of acting as reservoirs of ARB&ARGs.

Membrane fouling caused by biological foams in a submerged membrane bioreactor: Mechanism insights.
Mengfei Wu,Yifeng Chen,Hongjun Lin,Leihong Zhao,Liguo Shen,Renjie Li,Yanchao Xu,Huachang Hong,Yiming He +8 more
TL;DR: It was revealed that the fouling caused by foams was associated with gel layer filtration process, and the extremely high SFR can be interpreted by chemical potential change in the gel filTration process depicted in Flory-Huggins theory.

Dispersion characteristics of a rotating hollow fiber membrane bioreactor: Effects of module packing density and rotational frequency
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of variable rotational frequencies (0, 5, 10 and 20 rpm) and membrane module packing densities (62, 82, 92%) on residence time distributions (RTD) curves of a bromide tracer were investigated to assess the potential for membrane rotation as a means of increasing turbulence.

Development of an innovative vertical submerged membrane bioreactor (VSMBR) for simultaneous removal of organic matter and nutrients
TL;DR: A novel vertical submerged membrane bioreactor composed of anoxic and oxic zones in one reactor was developed in an attempt to reduce the problems concerning effective removal of pollutants from synthetic wastewater including glucose as a sole carbon source as well as membrane fouling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling characteristics in a membrane bioreactor coupled with anaerobic-anoxic-oxic process for coke wastewater treatment.
TL;DR: Analyses of particle and membrane pore size distribution revealed that major foulants had size comparable to the pore diameter, and it can be inferred that steric factor behaved primarily in the initial stage of fouling, while the role of hydrophobic interaction was of less significance.
