Cracking the code of seasonal seawater biofouling: enhanced biofouling control with quorum sensing inhibitor-functionalized membranes
Abstract Membrane biofouling poses an ongoing challenge in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination. Here we delved into the impact of seasonal variations in microbial communities on membrane biofouling and innovatively fabricated quorum sensing inhibitors (acylase (AC) and methyl anthranilate (...
