More stringent regulations on drinking water quality as well as an increased focus on
emerging contaminants has favored the development of alternative technologies to the …

Particles suspended within feed flow or added into membrane-filtration systems may behave
as foulant or fouling mitigation agent. The fine boundary between these two roles warrant …

Approximately 77 percent of the freshwater used in the United States comes from surface-
water sources and is subject to natural organic matter contamination according to the United …

The application of low pressure membranes (microfiltration/ultrafiltration) has undergone
accelerated development for drinking water production. However, the major obstacle …

This paper focused on the effects of mesoporous adsorbent resin (MAR) and powdered
activated carbon (PAC) pretreatments on ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouling caused by …

A dynamic membrane (DM) is a layer of particles deposited via permeation drag onto a
conventional membrane, such that the deposited particles act as a secondary membrane …

This paper investigates the powdered activated carbon (PAC) contribution to the fouling
control by natural organic matter (NOM) in PAC/UF hybrid process, as well as the foulant …

This paper reviews the published literature on potential membrane fouling components,
available cleaning agents and possible interactions between cleaning agents and fouling …

The removal of eleven emerging contaminants (acetaminophen, metoprolol, caffeine,
antipyrine, sulfamethoxazole, flumequine, ketorolac, atrazine, isoproturon, 2 …

Aquatic natural organic matter (NOM) is a heterogeneous mixture of biopolymers and their
degradation products that cause harmful by-products during drinking water production. The …
