Development of environmentally friendly approaches for membrane biofouling control. ➢ Studied the biofilm inhibition mechanisms of D-amino acids using molecular microbiology and microscopic methods. Quantified LPS and EPS with GC-MS and colorimetric methods. Determined impact on gene expression using qPCR. ➢ Improved the long-term efficiency and reduced cost by modification of polyamide NF membranes. A slow-release mechanism was developed by using nano zeolite particles as carriers. The anti-biofouling effect was stable for over a week and was regenarable.
