Membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a promising technology for dramatically reducing aeration energy consumption in wastewater treatment. However, the crucial membranes, including microporous hydrophobic membranes and dense membranes, are intolerant to fouling and possess high oxygen transfer resistance respectively, hindering their application potential. Herein, we developed a tolerant and highly-permeable membrane aerated biofilm reactor (THMABR) with a selective armor layer on the membrane to support the biofilm.

Common curettage, cesarean section, and other operations often cause endometrial and myometrial defects and obstetric and gynecological complications, leading to a high demand for uterine repair or partial replacement. However, the structure and function of the uterus are complicated.
