“Membrane Bioreactors” are often discussed in the context of:
- A.Assisted reproductive technologies
- B.Drug delivery nanotechnologies
- C.Vaccine production technologies
- D.Wastewater treatment technologies
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: D. Wastewater treatment technologies
Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) integrate a membrane filtration process with a biological reactor. This advanced system is highly effective in treating municipal and industrial wastewater, offering superior effluent quality compared to conventional treatment methods. The membranes act as a barrier, retaining biomass within the reactor and allowing treated water to pass through, thereby enhancing the removal of suspended solids and pathogens.
