Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling and cleaning of ultrafiltration membranes: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarises the known facts about the fouling processes and cleaning procedures and details of the most successful physical and chemical cleaning combinations for one-stage and multi-stage UF membrane cleaning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced removal of heavy metal ions bound to humic acid by polyelectrolyte flocculation
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the dosage of PolyDADMAC, the pH level and the concentrations of HA and metal ions were studied, and the removal efficiency of metal also increased with the initial concentration of HA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water treatment chemicals: Trends and challenges
Vitaly Gitis,Nicholas P. Hankins +1 more
TL;DR: A significant interruption to the status-quo occurred more than 20 years ago after a severe and highly publicized outbreak of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts as discussed by the authors, and the strategic planning after the outbreak was to shift from physical-chemical to physical treatment methods, such as membrane filtration and UV disinfection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial toxicity effects of reverse transported draw solute in the forward osmosis membrane bioreactor (FO-MBR)
TL;DR: In this article, the reverse transport of draw solutes in an FO-MBR system can affect the microbial community and treatment efficiency, and four novel surfactant solutes were investigated for toxicity to Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of heavy metal ions from dilute aqueous solutions by polymer–surfactant aggregates: A novel effluent treatment process
TL;DR: In this article, a novel treatment process for effluent streams that employs polymer-surfactant complexation and flocculation has been developed and applied to remove dilute heavy metal ions, such as Cr(III), Zn(II) and Cd(II), from aqueous solutions.
