Interactions between water treatment membrane surfaces and biofilms

Objective

The present project will study the interaction between biofilm formation and structure, membrane surface properties and performance, and the characteristics of the treated water. Such a study requires interdisciplinary interaction between experts in the synthesis, physical chemistry and technology of membranes who understand membrane properties and performance, and environmental microbiologists with expertise in the formation mechanism, structure and properties of biofilms.

While researchers of the host organization BGU-ZIWR - have considerable expertise in membranes, knowledge on the mechanisms of biofouling and the techniques, knowledge on the mechanisms of biofouling and the techniques used to study the biofouling phenomenon is not available in any of the departments of BGU. It is proposed to form a close collaboration with leading laboratories in Europe in biofilm studies in order to form a solid basis for understanding the membrane -biofilm interactions in membrane based water treatment processes.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
