Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer in nature and its application for the preparation
of numerous materials is of great interest. Among the various properties of cellulose …

Despite more than a decade of worldwide research on membrane fouling in membrane
bioreactors (MBRs), many questions still remain unanswered. In the light of the complexity of …

Cyanobacteria fouling in ultrafiltration (UF) drinking water treatment poses a significant
threat to the stability and sustainability of the process. Both phycocyanin found in …

While membrane technology emerges as one of the promising candidates for printing and
dyeing wastewater treatment, it still suffers problems of “trade-off” effect and membrane …

A novel method to fabricate loose NF membrane for textile wastewater treatment was
reported. PEI was reacted with gallic acid by condensation reaction and then the modified …

Ultrafiltration (UF) as one of the mainstream membrane-based technologies has been
widely used in water and wastewater treatment. Increasing demand for clean and safe water …

Robust and electrically conductive thin films (2500 S/m) made of cross-linked poly (vinyl
alcohol) and carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PVA–CNT–COOH) were …

Fouling mechanisms underlying the filtration behaviors of alginate solution caused by
calcium addition were investigated by Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and …

Microalgae are ubiquitous in aquatic systems and are a highly diversified group of uni-and
multicellular microorganisms. In low pressure-driven membrane systems, these cells and …

To prevent membrane fouling caused by natural organic matter (NOM), cellulose
nanocrystals (CNCs) were blended with inherently hydrophobic polyethersulfones (PES) by …
