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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
A study on submerged rotating MBR for wastewater treatment and membrane cleaning
TL;DR: In this paper, a submerged rotating membrane bioreactor (SRMBR), with a rotatable, rounded, flat-sheet Poly(vinyldiene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane module fixed on hollow axes and moved by an electromotor, was used for wastewater reclamation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Power generation enhanced by a polyaniline–phytic acid modified filter electrode integrating microbial fuel cell with membrane bioreactor
Li Na,Lifen Liu,Fenglin Yang +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple MBR-MFC system was developed for wastewater treatment and energy recovery without using any noble metal, where a low cost, conductive polyester filter cloth, modified by in situ formed PANi (polyaniline)-phytic acid (PA) was tested as cathode, obtaining a maximum power density (44.80mW/m2), using 500 Ω external resistor and graphite granule as the anode.

A vibration membrane bioreactor
S. C. Low,K. T. Cheong,H. L. Lim +2 more
TL;DR: Though cross flow velocity, aeration and vibration all contributed to the anti-fouling behavior of the membrane, vibration was found to be the most effective means.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel integrated vertical membrane bioreactor (IVMBR) for removal of nitrogen from synthetic wastewater/domestic sewage
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel integrated vertical membrane bioreactor (IVMBR) composed of both anoxic and oxic zones based on the installation of a three-phase separator was developed to simultaneously remove organic matter and nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new helical membrane module for increasing permeate flux
TL;DR: In this article, a new helical membrane module with an inside helical spacer and outside cover membrane was designed, which increased mass transfer coefficients by 1.46-1.69 times that of flat membrane modules, when aeration level was at 0.2m 3 /h and the liquid cross flow rate was low.
