Mg2+ addition: Unlocking optimized treatment performance and anti-fouling property in microalgal-bacterial membrane bioreactors

While microalgal-bacterial membrane bioreactors (microalgal-bacterial MBRs) have risen as an important technique in the realm of sustainable wastewater treatment, the membrane fouling caused by free microalgae is still a significant challenge to cost-effective operation of the microalgal-bacterial MBRs. Addressing this imperative, the current study investigated the influence of magnesium ion (Mg
