\ud83d\udcc4 Microplastic removal and fouling mitigation in a pilot-scale living membrane bioreactor for urban wastewater treatment
\n\ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/lnkd.in\/e2hHEJZy<\/a><\/p>\n

The study explores how a living membrane bioreactor can simultaneously improve microplastic removal and reduce membrane fouling in urban wastewater treatment. These findings highlight the potential of nature-based, biofilm-driven technologies to support more efficient and sustainable water treatment systems. Congratulations to all co-authors and collaborators on this work.
