“…However, the major weakness remains in membrane fouling (Asif & Zhang, 2021), resulting in high operational cost and frequent membrane replacement (Moneer, 2023;Nabi et al, 2023;Osman & Hodaifa, 2023;Sanchez et al, 2023). The common cleaning methods of ceramic membranes include membrane modification, hydraulic backwashing, and chemical reagent cleaning (Chapalaghi et al, 2022;Khan & Kim, 2023;Ninomiya et al, 2020;Sakamoto et al, 2022). In recent years, many new membrane cleaning methods have been developed, such as external electric field assisted cleaning, H 2 O 2 -MnO 2 system , and nano-microbubble enhanced cleaning.…”
