Prolonging the Life Span of Membrane in Submerged MBR by the Application of Different Anti-Biofouling Techniques

Membranes, 2023
The membrane bioreactor (MBR) is an efficient technology for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater for the last two decades. It is a single stage process with smaller footprints and a higher removal efficiency of organic compounds compared

Double-edged sword of biofouling potentials associated with haemocompatibility behaviour: titania nanotube arrays for medical implant surface technology

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023
Background Medical implant failures are frequently associated with limitations of the surface technology that lead to biofouling and haemocompatibility issues. Titania nanotube array technology could provide a solution for this existing limitation.

EFFECT OF GRAPHENE COATINGS AND WATER TEMPERATURE ON MARINE BIOFOULING SYSTEMS

, 2022
This work investigated two strategies for controlling marine biofouling. One method involved the use of graphene-enhanced coatings to mitigate biofilm growth. The second study assessed the influence of water temperature on biofouling.

Exploration on Optimized Control Way of D-Amino Acid for Efficiently Mitigating Membrane Biofouling of Membrane Bioreactor

Membranes, 2021
The thorny issue of membrane biofouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR) calls for new effective control measures. Herein, D-amino acid (DAA) was employed to mediate MBR membrane biofouling by inhibiting biofilm information and disintegrating formed biofilm.

A data-driven approach to predicting the attachment density of biofouling organisms

, 2019
The attachment efficiency of biofouling organisms on solid surfaces depends on a variety of factors, including fouler species, nutrition abundance, flow rate, surface morphology and the stiffness of the solid to which attachment is to be made.

Pickering‐Engineered Microparticles for Magnetically Guided Motion and Light‐Triggered Catalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetically responsive wax microparticles stabilized by hematite cubes through the Pickering emulsification strategy are developed, showing controlled size, motion, and light‐activated catalytic activity. Annealing under a magnetic field enhances their mobility and steering.
