The Use of NaOH Solutions for Fouling Control in a Membrane Bioreactor: A Feasibility Study
Nowadays, the microbial production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) is recognized as preferable to the chemical synthesis.However, finding a technological approach allowing the production of 1,3-PD in the membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a great challenge.In the present study, a ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) membrane (8 kDa) for treatment of 1,3-PD broths wa
