Microbial quorum quenching (QQ) has been shown as a promising technology for biofouling control in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). However, QQ technology has never been applied in the industrial wastewater MBR due to the complex water properties. In this study, a type of novel alginate (polyvinyl alcoh...
