Over the last 10 years, numerous membrane filtration data have been viewed through the
lens of the concept of critical flux. This concept, used in a number of different ways often …

The high surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles usually results in highly reactive and
colloidal instability compared to their bulk counterparts. Aggregation as well as many other …

The role of chemical and physical interactions in natural organic matter (NOM) fouling of
nanofiltration membranes is systematically investigated. Results of fouling experiments with …

The contribution of acid–base (AB)(polar) interactions to the total interaction energy between
membranes and colloids was investigated. The surface energetics of several membranes …

Olive mill effluents (OME) by-produced have significantly increased in the last decades as a
result of the boost of the olive oil agro-industrial sector and due to the conversion into …

A systematic study on the effect of electrostatic double layer interaction on permeate flux
decline and deposit cake formation in crossflow membrane filtration of colloidal suspensions …

The effectiveness of poly (vinylpyrrolidone)(PVP)-modification of a zirconia-based
ultrafiltration membrane was investigated for the treatment of oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions …

A series of well-controlled membrane filtration experiments are performed to systematically
investigate the dynamic behavior of permeate flux in crossflow membrane filtration of …

In this study, two definitions of critical flux were introduced based on the cross-flow
microfiltration (CFMF) experiments conducted under an operational mode of constant …

Microfiltration is an attractive means for treating oily wastewater, especially when the size of
the oil droplets are micrometer-sized since the conventional techniques become deficient. A …
