Effects of membrane pore morphology on fouling behavior of polymeric micro-fabricated membrane during crossflow micro-filtration

Warkiani M.E., Gong H.Q., Fane A.G., Wicaksana F., Nanyang Technological University, SG

Membrane pore morphology can have a significant effect on the rate of flux decline where the dominant fouling mechanism is pore blockage and cake formation. Commercial micro-filters cannot be used effectively for this purpose because [...]
