https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2020.115769Lakes and reservoirs are important sources of drinking water, but high frequency of toxic cyanobacteria bloom and associated cyanotoxin could impair drinking water quality. In recent years, majority studies have investigated the effects of chlorination on membrane integrity and toxin fate of high-viability cyanobacteria. Actually, cyanobacteria bloom is a successive process ...

link 1:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125364Nitrate (NO3-) pollution in water-body is mainly caused by intensive human activities and land use conversion, which has become a common environmental problem in peri-urban areas. Elevated NO3- concentrations in water bodies, especially in coastal and marine environments, cause eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, and hypoxia, ultimately resulting in a series of harmful kno...

link:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121584Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental concern for its endocrine disrupting abilities. It has been used extensively, in the manufacturing of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics, since 1960s. Residues of BPA are ubiquitously detected in both aquatic and terrestrial environments throughout the world. Several studied have reported the occurrence as well as degradation BPA in...

link 2:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2019.117526Nanofiltration (NF) membrane has been recognized because of its advantages of low operating pressure and inexpensive equipment maintenance cost. However, the conventional thin film composite (TFC) membrane is limited by the “trade-off” phenomenon in the permselectivity, as well as the inevitable membrane fouling problem which causes significant reduction in flux. To decrea...
