Ultra-low-pressure membrane filtration for simultaneous recovery of detergent and water from laundry wastewater

Reusing water and excess detergent from the laundry industry has become an attractive method to combat water shortages. Membrane filtration is considered an advanced technique and highly attractive due to its excellent advantages. However, the conventional membrane filtration method suffers from mem...
