Enhanced treatment of industrial wastewater using AAO-MBR: Membrane fouling behavior and microbial community succession

In this study, a laboratory-scale AAO-MBR was employed for treating industrial wastewater. The removal efficiency of pollutants was examined, and the membrane fouling during the treatment process was characterized. In addition, the microbial richness as well as diversity was determined. It is anticipated that this study would provide valuable information for optimizing the design and operation of industrial wastewater treatment system.
