Mitigation of Membrane Fouling Using an Electroactive Polyether Sulfone Membrane

open access: yesMembranes, 2020
Membrane fouling is the bottleneck limiting the wide application of membrane processes. Herein, we adopted an electroactive polyether sulfone (PES) membrane capable of mitigating fouling by various negatively charged foulants.

Microbial Relevant Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors: Influencing Factors, Characterization, and Fouling Control

open access: yesMembranes, 2012
Microorganisms in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) play important roles on degradation of organic/inorganic substances in wastewaters, while microbial deposition/growth and microbial product accumulation on membranes potentially induce membrane fouling ...

Nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry for Quantifying Membrane Fouling: Fouling Layer Structure and Chemical Interaction. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (Nano SIMS) is established as a powerful analytical tool to visualize and quantify the membrane fouling layers. ABSTRACT Membrane technology has garnered considerable attention for applications in wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Nevertheless, membrane fouling remains a major barrier, yet the lack of

A review on membrane fouling: membrane modification

open access: yesDesalination and Water Treatment, 2021
Membrane separation has become a prevalent technique in water and wastewater treatment. However, fouling is still the most challenging issue in case of membranes. Fouling causes flux decline, loss in rejection performance, increased energy consumption, etc. Different modification techniques have been applied to mitigate fouling on the membrane surface.

Membrane fouling monitoring by 3ω sensing. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2023
Abstract A platinum wire with a diameter of 20 µm and length of 14 mm was attached to the surface of a ceramic membrane for in situ fouling monitoring. By measuring the voltage across the wire while applying an AC current, the amplitude of the third harmonic wave, the so-called 3ω signal, which is inversely proportional to the thermal ...
