    Abstract: A method for removing silica from an aqueous solution is provided. The method includes steps of flowing the aqueous solution into an electro-Fenton reactor, wherein the reactor comprises one or more electrodes in a bipolar arrangement positioned between a monopolar iron anode and a monopolar cathode; applying an electric current to the aqueous solution such that silica aggregates form on ferric hydroxide; and removing the silica aggregates from the aqueous solution.

    Abstract: A membrane filter apparatus for splitting a feed into filtrate and retentate is provided. The apparatus comprises a body chamber, a feed inlet disposed on the body chamber, a retentate outlet located in the body chamber, a feed distribution tube connected to the feed inlet, and a filter assembly having a filter. The feed distribution tube has a length sufficient to cause the feed to enter the body chamber at a feed distance from the filter assembly of no greater than 50% of a total length of the body chamber. The feed flows across the filter in a direction parallel to a surface of the filter assembly. The filtrate passes through the filter assembly and the retentate flows through the body chamber in a direction antiparallel to the feed flow through the feed distribution tube and out through the retentate outlet.
