The Limitations in Current Studies of Organic Fouling and Future Prospects. [PDF]
Membranes (Basel), 2021 Microfiltration and ultrafiltration for water/wastewater treatment have gained global attention due to their high separation efficiency, while membrane fouling still remains one of their bottlenecks. In such a situation, many researchers attempt to obtain a deep understanding of fouling mechanisms and to develop effective fouling controls.
