This study investigated the behaviour and simulation of low-molecular-weight (low-MW) micropollutants (MPs) in a powdered activated carbon (PAC)–assisted fertiliser-drawn OMBR. Compared to conventional OMBR, 10% increase in water recovery and two times thinner fouling layer were observed in...

The elimination of low-molecular-weight (low-MW) micropollutants (MPs) remains a challenge in the osmotic membrane bioreactors (OMBRs). This study investigated the fate, elimination, and simulation of low-MW MPs in a powdered activated carbon (PAC)–assisted fertiliser-drawn OMBR. Compared to...

This study investigated the feasibility of applying a novel protocol for constructing a fertilizer draw solution (DS) index used in osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) for simultaneous wastewater treatment and sustainable fertigation. The results indicated that system performance (i.e., water...

This study investigates the suitability of forward osmosis (FO) for recovery of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from anaerobic digesters (AD) and identifies the conditions favorable for commercially viable maximum recovery of VFAs. The recovery efficiency of VFAs is evaluated using a polyamide...

The recovery of fatty acids from waste resources has attracted attention in terms of reducing the use of fossil fuels and minimizing the influence of climate change. Recently, interest in the recovery of medium-chain fatty acids has increased because medium-chain fatty acids are high-value...
