Are pharmaceuticals removal and membrane fouling in electromembrane bioreactor affected by current density?

Published in The Science of The Total Environment

Pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) have been detected at significant concentrations in various natural and artificial aquatic environments. In this study, electro membrane bioreactor (eMBR) technology was used to treat simulated municipal wastewater containing widely-used pharmaceuticals namely amoxicillin (AMX), diclofenac (DCF) and carbamaze...
