Biofilm detachment by self-collapsing air microbubbles : a potential chemical-free cleaning technology for membrane biofouling
Microbubbles (MBs) have been known for their ability to generate pressure waves through shrinking and subsequent self-collapsing phenomenon. In the present study, we have investigated the potential of air MBs for biofilm detachment from a nylon membrane surface in comparison to chemical cleaning by...
