Integration of negatively charged MWCNT-fGO self-assembled nanomaterials into PLA polymeric membranes for wastewater treatment

(Corresponding) Khalil H., Nassar L., Wadi V., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

The integration of nanomaterials in membrane’s matrix aims to improve the membrane’s hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, thermal stability and water flux, which are vital membrane properties needed to active efficient removal of contaminants. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and...Read more

Effect of current density value and current application period on the wastewater treatment performance of Electrochemically Enhanced Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactors (e-SFDMBRs)

(Corresponding) Almalvez J., Morales-Corpuz M., Borea L., Castrogiovanni F., Napodano P., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V., Ballesteros F.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

The use of membrane reactor in wastewater treatment gained interest for the past years due to its high-quality effluent. However, expensive membranes and high operational costs due to membrane fouling limit the wide application of this process. Research on fouling control by combining membrane use...Read more

Pilot-scale membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment using innovative encapsulated self-forming dynamic membrane

Castrogiovanni F., Borea L., HASAN S., Belgiorno V., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

The use of membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a promising technique for wastewater treatment that manages to respect the restrictive limits imposed by regulations. However, during the filtration process membranes are subject to fouling which requires additional costs for cleaning and replacing the...Read more

Wastewater Treatment and Membrane Fouling Control Using an Algae-Activated Sludge Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactor (AAS-SFDMBR)

Corpuz M., Castrogiovanni F., Senatore V., Borea L., Buonerba A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Hasan S., Ballesteros F., Napodano P., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Self-forming dynamic membrane bioreactors (SFDMBRs), which utilize formed biomass layer and large pore-size mesh/ support materials instead of conventional membrane materials, have been studied for wastewater treatment applications. The consortium of algae and activated sludge bacteria has also...Read more

Application of quorum quenching to improve performance of membrane bioreactors: A comprehensive mini-review

(Corresponding) Banti D., Kampouris I., Yiangou M., (Corresponding) Samaras P.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been widely used for wastewater treatment, presenting however a major disadvantage, the membrane fouling problem. The sludge microorganisms produce soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that lead to a formation of a sticky...Read more
