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
Recent advances in membrane bioreactors (MBRs): membrane fouling and membrane material.
Fangang Meng,Fangang Meng,So-Ryong Chae,Anja Drews,Matthias Kraume,Hang-Sik Shin,Fenglin Yang +6 more
TL;DR: The fouling behaviour, fouling factors and fouling control strategies were discussed, and recent developments in membrane materials including low-cost filters, membrane modification and dynamic membranes were reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of aquatic humic and non-humic matter with size-exclusion chromatography--organic carbon detection--organic nitrogen detection (LC-OCD-OND).
TL;DR: Size-exclusion chromatography in combination with organic carbon detection (SEC-OCD) is an established method to separate the pool of NOM into major fractions of different sizes and chemical functions and to quantify these on the basis of organic carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors—Characterisation, contradictions, cause and cures
TL;DR: In this article, a review of membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors is presented, with a focus on recent discoveries and emerging innovative fouling mitigation strategies that might lead to more economical and robust MBR operation.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colorimetric Method for Determination of Sugars and Related Substances
TL;DR: In this article, a method was developed to determine submicro amounts of sugars and related substances using a phenol-sulfuric acid reaction, which is useful for the determination of the composition of polysaccharides and their methyl derivatives.
Book
Basic Principles of Membrane Technology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of Membrane Fouling and discuss the properties and properties of synthetic Membranes, including material properties, properties, and processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of extracellular polymers from activated sludge using a cation exchange resin
TL;DR: In this article, the extraction of water soluble extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from activated sludge was investigated, which consisted mainly of protein but also humic compounds, carbohydrates, uronic acids and DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical flux concept for microfiltration fouling
TL;DR: The concept of critical flux is introduced in this article to identify the critical flux and the desirability of starting filtration operations at a low flux, where a flux below which a decline of flux with time does not occur.
