Metal Ions on the Membrane Bioreactor in the Slow Progress of Membrane Fouling Studies

Article Preview

Abstract:

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) has developed rapidly in recent years; however, the membrane fouling problems are affecting its further widespread application. This paper discusses the role of metal ions in the mixture in the mechanism; also on the high-priced metal ions coexist in the mixture when the effects of biological flocculation process; finally, the direction of future research in this area are summarized.
