Abstract

This research demonstrates for the first time that ozone is an effective cleaning agent for polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes fouled by natural organic matter (NOM). Bare PVDF membranes as well as PVDF impregnated with CNTs (pristine (CNTs–P) and oxidized (CNTs–O)) at 0.3% mass membranes were...
