Towards microplastics contribution for membrane biofouling and disinfection by-products precursors: The effect on microbes
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that microplastics in raw water increased microbial growth and altered community composition during ultrafiltration, promoting extracellular polymer production that accelerated membrane fouling and elevated disinfection by-product formation in treated water.
Study on the Impact and Mechanism of Microplastics on the Coagulation-Coupled Ultrafiltration Process in Seawater Desalination Pretreatment
AI summary Read the abstract
This study systematically analyzed how microplastics interact with and disrupt the coagulation-coupled ultrafiltration process used in seawater desalination pretreatment, identifying fouling mechanisms and performance impacts. As desalination becomes a critical freshwater source globally, understanding and mitigating microplastic interference in treatment processes is essential for producing drinking water free from plastic contamination.
[Effects of Microplastics on Membrane Fouling During a Shortened Ultrafiltration Membrane Process].
AI summary Read the abstract
This study investigated how microplastics in freshwater affect membrane fouling during ultrafiltration — a common drinking water treatment step — finding that their presence can compromise filter performance and potentially allows microplastics to pass into treated water supplies.
