Abstract:
... Phosphorus has been considered as a pollutant to be removed from the wastewater. In the last years, however, it has been considered a valuable asset that needs to be recovered due to its shortage in nature. The study of optimum phosphorus management in wastewater treatment plants is not straightforward, due to the complexity of technologies and configurations that may be applied for phosphorus rem ...

However, these kinds of morphologies have proven difficult to characterize, and therefore manipulate, because they are three-dimensional (3D), nanoscopic, and often highly irregular. Here, we studied polyamide (PA) membrane ...
