Characterization of protein-fouled membranes is crucial to understand the fouling
mechanisms and optimization of fouling control and cleaning. This paper reviews current …

Specific food proteins and peptides as well as amino acids released by enzymatic hydrolysis
have demonstrated several biological activities, therefore they represent an interesting …

A streaming potential analyzer has been used to investigate the effect of solution chemistry
on the surface charge of four commercial reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes …

We studied natural organic matter (NOM) rejection and the membrane's flux decline during
natural water filtration using a charged ultrafiltration membrane based on thin-film-composite …

The aim of this study was to develop novel surface-modified poly (ether sulfone)(PES) ultra-
filtration (UF) membranes for removal of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and …

Conventional tangential flow filtration (TFF) has traditionally been limited to separation of
solutes that differ by about ten‐fold in size. Wide pore‐size distributions, membrane fouling …

The surface charges of clean and natural organic matter (NOM)-adsorbed membrane
surfaces of two different types of membranes (a UF and a NF membrane composed of the …

A novel kind of zwitterionic polymer, tertiary amine-modified PES (TA-PES), bearing cationic
tertiary amine groups and anionic sulfonic groups, was synthesized in this study. The as …

The streaming potentials of two different nanofiltration membranes were studied with several
electrolyte solutions to investigate the influence of salt type and concentration on the zeta …

Membrane charge can have a large effect on the performance of many ultrafiltration
processes. Previous studies of membrane charge have generally been performed using …
