Effect of hydrodynamic conditions and feedwater composition on fouling of ultrafiltration and forward osmosis membranes by organic macromolecules
This study investigated the fouling of pressure-driven ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and osmotically-driven forward osmosis (FO) membrane by organic macromolecules. Protein and humic acid, two types of ubiquitous identified membrane organic foulants, were chosen as the model foulants. It was found...
