Unraveling Membrane Fouling Induced by Chlorinated Water Versus Surface Water: Biofouling Properties and Microbiological Investigation

Chlorine is usually applied in the urban water treatment process to deactivate pathogens and prevent waterborne diseases. As a pre-treatment, it remains unclear whether chlorinated water can effectively alleviate membrane fouling during ultrafiltration (UF). In this study, tap water was investigated...
