The membrane bioreactor (MBR) has been widely used to purify wastewater in wastewater treatment plants. However, a critical difficulty of the MBR is membrane fouling. To reduce membrane fouling, in this work, an intelligent detecting system is develo...
Preventing biological contamination (biofouling) is key to successful development of novel surface and nanoparticle-based technologies in the manufacturing industry and biomedicine. Protein adsorption is a crucial mediator of the interactions at the ...
It is of great importance to propose effective methods to quantify interfacial interaction since it directly determines foulant adhesion and membrane fouling process in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). This study developed a radial basis function (RBF) a...
Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms that can form on various surfaces, including medical devices, industrial equipment, and natural environments. The presence of biofilms can lead to a range of problems, including infections, reduced e...
This research introduces an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based model designed to concurrently optimize energy supply management, biocide dosing, and maintenance scheduling for heat exchangers. This optimization considers energetic, technical, economi...
Constructing antifouling surfaces is a crucial technique for optimizing the performance of devices such as water treatment membranes and medical devices in practical environments. These surfaces are achieved by modification with hydrophilic polymers....
Predicting thermodynamic adhesion energies was a critical strategy for mitigating membrane fouling. This study utilized a backpropagation (BP) neural network model to predict the thermodynamic adhesion energies associated with membrane fouling in a p...
Bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are complex, high-molecular-weight polymer mixtures that play a critical role in pore clogging, foulants adhesion, and fouling layer formation during membrane filtration, owing to their adhesive properti...
