Membrane fouling mitigation by fluidized granular activated carbon (GAC) is well-acknowledged to be effective in mitigating external reversible fouling. However, the effect of fluidized GAC and fiber looseness on the alleviation of irreversible fouling is not known, which motivated the current study...
