Development of a novel model by combining the intermediate blocking and cake filtration models for assessment of the prevailing fouling mechanism in a microbial fuel cell-facilitated membrane bioreactor

This study was carried out on a membrane bioreactor (MBR) facilitated with an electric field provided by a microbial fuel cell (MFC), which effectively reduced membrane contamination and extended the operation time of the MBR from 18 to 24 days. To understand the theory of membrane fouling in the MF...
