Impact of surfactants on membrane fouling during separation of an oil-water emulsion

Journal of Membrane Science Letters
While membrane separation has proven to be an outstanding method for separating oil in water (O/W) emulsions containing droplets smaller than 20 µm, it is severely limited due to fouling. Much research has been aimed at understanding the mechanism behind

Critical and sustainable fluxes: theory, experiments and applications [PDF]

, 2006
Over the last ten years, numerous membrane filtration data have been viewed in the light of the concept of critical flux. This concept, used in a number of different ways often without explicit redefinition, is here clarified both from a theoretical and

Low fouling conditions in dead-end filtration: Evidence for a critical filtered volume and interpretation using critical osmotic pressure [PDF]

, 2005
This paper presents experiments showing the existence of a critical filtered volume (CFV) when operating colloid dead-end filtration. The CFV is here defined as the filtered volume below which there is no irreversible (with respect to a break in the ...
