Adsorption is a promising method, but the activated carbon or other polymers have difficulties in regeneration, and the disposal of the exhausted adsorbents remains a challenge . Membrane filtration including microfiltration and ultrafiltration is effective in removing the biorefractory organics, however membrane performance can dramatically decrease as a consequence of membrane fouling due to the presence of the refractory organics in BTCWs . In addition, the effluent of abovementioned systems often requires further desalination process such as nano-filtration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) to meet the reusing water standard
