Fouling of ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF) membranes by proteins is a major
challenge in the bioprocessing and dairy industries, as well as in surface and wastewater …

Oil/water (O/W) emulsion stabilized by surfactants is the part of oily wastewater that is most
difficult to handle. Ceramic membrane ultrafiltration presently is an ideal process to treat O/W …

To determine further the enhancement and mitigation mechanisms of protein fouling,
filtration experiments were carried out with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration (UF) …

This study investigates the effect of hydrodynamic conditions and solution chemistry on
protein fouling during ultrafiltration. Drastic flux reduction was observed at high initial flux …

In this work, a filtration cell for synchronized UV–vis spectroscopic and electrochemical
impedance investigation of the membrane fouling process has been designed. The setup …

To investigate the influence of hydration forces on the protein fouling of membranes and the
major influence factors of hydration forces during the ultrafiltration process, bovine serum …

A systematic study on the zeta potential of polyethersulfone membranes determined by
streaming potential measurements was made to examine various salt effects. Chloride salts; …

Incorporation of functional nanoparticles in polymer membranes is a promising approach for
the development of advanced thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes with improved …

Dead-end stirred cell devices are commonly used in laboratories to characterise
ultrafiltration membranes and their separation behaviour. Additionally, protein separation …

Adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) surfaces in
an aqueous environment was investigated in the presence and absence of excess ions …
