Biofouling of Water Treatment Membranes: A Review of the Underlying Causes, Monitoring Techniques and Control Measures
Biofouling is a critical issue in membrane water and wastewater treatment as it greatly compromises the efficiency of the treatment processes. It is difficult to control, and significant economic resources have been dedicated to the development of effective biofouling monitoring and control strategies. This paper highlights the underlying causes of membrane biofouling and provides a review on r...
متن کاملBiofouling: lessons from nature.
Biofouling is generally undesirable for many applications. An overview of the medical, marine and industrial fields susceptible to fouling is presented. Two types of fouling include biofouling from organism colonization and inorganic fouling from non-living particles. Nature offers many solutions to control fouling through various physical and chemical control mechanisms. Examples include low d...
متن کاملSYMPOSIUM Barnacles and Biofouling
Synopsis Biofouling, the attachment and growth of organisms on submerged, man-made surfaces, has plagued ship operators for at least 2500 years. Accumulation of biofouling, including barnacles and other sessile marine invertebrates, increases the frictional resistance of ships’ hulls, resulting in an increase in power and in fuel consumption required to make speed. Scientists and engineers reco...
متن کاملAn improved UV-spectrophotometric method for routine barbiturate monitoring.
A simple, rapid, quantitative, low-cost UV-differential spectrophotometric method for the routine monitoring of phenobarbital in serum and cerebrospinal fluid is described. This method can also be used for monitoring methylphenobarbital (Phemiton) and primidone (Mysoline), since the major active metabolite of both drugs is phenobarbital. The basis for our procedure is Goldbaum's method (Anal. C...
متن کاملUsing nanovibrations to monitor biofouling.
The article proposes the use of the mechatronic surface sensor (MSS) to detect surface contamination. This methodology is based on the analysis of the vibration response of the monitored surface. In the present work a comparison between the responses of the MSS to different structural deposits build-up (Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilm--formed under turbulent and laminar flow and a silica deposi...
