A novel thin film composite hollow fiber osmotic membrane with one-step prepared dual-layer substrate for sludge thickening

A Review on the Mechanism, Impacts and Control Methods of Membrane Fouling in MBR System

“…Selina et al [116] studied the factors that affect the performance and treatment efficiency of direct membrane filtration, and pointed out that membrane fouling is the main challenge of direct membrane filtration. Direct membrane filtration has been used as a promising technology for wastewater recovery and resource recovery in various laboratories and pilot scale studies, which is attributed to the advantages of direct membrane filtration process [117]. For example: (i) Direct membrane filtration processes have a relatively simple system configuration, requiring less capital cost and footprint.…”

Membrane compaction in forward osmosis process

“…Hollow fiber membranes which were used as the substrate for the preparation of TFC membranes were fabricated via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) technique [35,36]. The fabrication process of hollow fiber substrate is schematically illustrated in Figure 1.…”

Development of thin-film composite membrane for forward osmosis process

“…Hollow fiber membranes which were used as the substrate for the preparation of TFC membranes in Chapter 4 were fabricated via the NIPS process [206,309]. The fabrication process of hollow fiber substrate is schematically illustrated in Figure 4.1.…”

“…The fabrication process of hollow fiber substrate is schematically illustrated in Figure 4.1. In order to produce hollow fiber substrates with highly asymmetric structures, a co-extrusion method [204,309] was employed through the use of a triple-channel spinneret during hollow fiber spinning process.…”
