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 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...

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...

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...
