What is humic acid and its effect on membrane performance?

Label:chem

Topic
Humic acid (HA) is a typical natural organic matter (NOM) often found in aquatic environments. It tends to adsorb onto membrane surfaces, which can lead to a sharp decline in catalytic activity and membrane fouling.
Answer
Humic acid is a common natural organic matter that can adsorb onto membrane surfaces, potentially reducing catalytic activity and causing membrane fouling.
