The lack and pollution of water resource make wastewater reuse necessary. The pilot scale long-term tests for submerged membrane bioreactor were conducted to treat the effluents of anaerobic or aerobic treatment process for the high-strength Chinese traditional medicine wastewater. This article was focused on the feasibility of the wastewater treatment and reuse at shorter hydraulic retention t...

In Project WASTEC, an experimental Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination system was developed. It serves as a platform for testing new technologies. For this system, we solved two problems, which are described in paper. Firstly, developed and investigated strategies scheduling chemical enhanced backwashing cleaning secondly, due to the nature of project, several technological developments with resp...

Abstract The development of environmentally friendly, multifunctional conductive membranes is an ideal candidate for future new electronic components. Some cellulose-based sensors have been studied, such as pressure sensors, hydrothermal flexible optoelectronic devices, and electrochemical energy storage, etc. However, there are very few studies on materials in Joule heating. In this study, we ...

Air pollution has become a significant global environmental issue, leading to adverse health effects and respiratory diseases. To address this challenge, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane-based fibrous filters have gained popularity in the past decade. However, thinness low mechanical strength of ePTFE membranes make them susceptible damage from particle collisions. As an altern...

Membrane filtration processes like microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) are proven to be effective in industrial wastewater treatment, including oil-water separation, as they generate suitable quality permeate for water reuse applications. Various research efforts have been conducted areas of developing and/or modifying commercial MF/UF membrane materials through synthesizing new advan...

In this work, the performance of organic pollutant removal, membrane fouling and sludge morphology in a submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) treating sunflower oil refinery wastewater (SORW) containing high oleic content was studied during 52 days’ operation at short values of 18 h and 10 days for hydraulic retention time and sludge retention time, respectively. The removal efficiencies of chemi...

In this work, Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) was applied for the treatment of municipal wastewater collected from primary clarifier a plant (MWWTP). The water flux at 60℃ and 20℃ feed permeate side, respectively 51 kg/m2h in treating effluent. Meanwhile, electrical conductivity distillate good range 1.5 – 1.8 S/cm. Most representative parameters reuse (SS, nitrate, nitrite, phospha...
