Abstract In order to effectively solve the problems of membrane fouling and reduction of permeate flux caused by natural organic matter during the ultrafiltration (UF) process, micro-nano bubbles (MNBs) water treatment was introduced during the UF transport and backwashing process of humic acid (HA) solution to strengthen the UF process. The effects of MNBs on the permeate flux, rejection coefficient and the membrane defouling were studied. The results showed that the normalized flux of pure H₂O and humic acid (HA) (5 mg·L^-1) solution increased to 1.1—1.3 and the rejection coefficient of HA increased by 2.5%-22.0%. The normalized flux recovery increased by 21% and 25% after cleaning and backwashing in the presence of MNBs, respectively.
