Preparation of highly conductive cathodic membrane with Graphene (Oxide) /PPy and the membrane antifouling property in filtrating yeast suspensions in EMBR

摘要

The decline of flux caused by membrane fouling is a big problem in wastewater treatment and reclamation. To improve the membrane anti-fouling performance and control membrane fouling in MBR, applying an electric field has been proved efficient(the so-called EMBR)[1], in which negatively charged pollutants and extra-cellular polymeric substances (EPS) are forced to move away from the membrane surface under electric field. Using conductive membranes as cathodes combines the membrane and electrode as one, so higher efficiency in material usage and better anti-fouling performance was achieved.
