Effect of hydrophilic / hydrophobic fractions of Natural Organic Matter on irreversible fouling of membranes [PDF]
Natural organic matter (NOM) has been identified as a major factor affecting membrane processes performances, but its impact is difficult to quantify from global parameters such as organic carbon content.

Cross-flow microfiltration applied to oenology: A review [PDF]
The cross-flow microfiltration applied to wine filtration has become a legitimate alternative to conventional filtration processes. However, membrane fouling which affects the operating costs and the plant maintenance, limits the widespread application ...

Membrane fouling by mixtures of oppositely charged particles [PDF]
Membrane fouling persists to be among key obstacles in liquid membrane-based separation processes, and thereby the underlying understanding has actively been pursued. The two gaps attempted to be addressed here are namely, (i) internal fouling, which has

Proteins causing membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors
In this study, the details of proteins causing membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) treating real municipal wastewater were investigated. Two separate pilot-scale MBRs were continuously operated under significantly different operating conditions; one MBR was a submerged type whereas the other was a side-stream type.

Filtration characteristics of hollow fiber microfiltration membranes used in a specific double membrane bioreactor [PDF]
The performance of the microfiltration in a specifically designed membrane bioreactor operating under various transmembrane pressures with periodic backwashing was investigated for model media.

Chemical cleaning of potable water membranes: A review [PDF]
The literature on chemical cleaning of polymeric hollow fibre ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes used in the filtration of water for municipal water supply is reviewed. The review considers the chemical cleaning mechanism, and the perceived

Effect of membrane fouling on chiral separation [PDF]
Chiral purity is becoming increasingly critical particularly for the pharmaceutical industry. Compared to the conventional techniques, membrane-based separation is promising as an easily scalable, efficient, continuous operation. Past studies have proven
