The fluidization of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) particles has received much attention in recent years as a promising method for mitigating membrane fouling particularly in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). In particular, the fluidized GAC particles are acknowledged to be beneficial in terms of adsorp...
