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...

Simulation of the MP behaviour in forward osmosis (FO) membrane-based processes may provide a better understanding and design of the process to facilitate the highest performance. This study explored the feasibility of applying machine learning (ML)–based models to simulate MP behaviour in the...

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 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...
