Investigation of membrane fouling
Desalination, 2003Fouling of ultrafiltration membranes in milk industries is mostly due to precipitation of microorganisms, proteins, fats and minerals on the membrane surfaces. Thus, chemical cleaning of the membranes is essential. In this paper, results obtained from investigations on a polysulfon ultrafiltration membrane fouled by precipitation of milk components ...

Membrane Fouling in Desalination
2021Clean and safe water scarcity due to population growth and industries development is a very important challenge, worldwide. As the demand for clean water increases, policies such as seawater desalination and wastewater reuse have been implemented in some countries.

Polarisation Phenomena and Membrane Fouling
1991In order to achieve a particular separation via a membrane process, the first step is to develop a suitable membrane. However, during an actual separation, e.g. a pressure driven process, the membrane performance (or better the system performance) can change very much with time, and often a typical flux-time behaviour may be observed: the flux through ...

Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors
2016Membrane fouling is a stubborn problem in all membrane filtration processes, in particular membrane bioreactors because it leads to higher operating pressure, more frequent chemical cleaning, shortened membrane life and compromised product water quality. This chapter presents an exhaustive overview of membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors.

Membrane Fouling Mitigation: Membrane Cleaning
Separation Science and Technology, 2010Fouling is an inevitable hurdle limiting flux and performance of membrane processes. This paper reviewed the literature studies on physical cleaning methods and chemical cleaning and commented on the indices for cleaning efficiencies therein used in literature works.

Phospholipid coatings for the prevention of membrane fouling
Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, 1995AbstractThe aim of the present work was the development of phosphorylcholine‐based treatments for biofiltration membranes and the demonstration that such treatments prevent or inhibit protein fouling. Microfiltration membranes of cellulose triacetate, polyether sulphone and polyvinylidene fluoride were etched with oxygen in a plasma chamber to generate

1991
The use of membrane separation processes in a variety of manufacturing and related industries is growing at a significant rate. The problems of fouling are being studied intensely because they are seen as key factors in the overall economics of the process. The effects of membrane type, foulant and cleaning protocol are discussed.

A review on membrane fouling: membrane modification
2022Membrane separation has become a prevalent technique in water and wastewater treatment. However, fouling is still the most challenging issue in case of membranes. Fouling causes flux decline, loss in rejection performance, increased energy consumption, etc. Different modification techniques have been applied to mitigate fouling on the membrane surface.
