A threshold flux phenomenon for colloidal fouling in reverse osmosis characterized by transmembrane pressure and electrical impedance spectroscopy

The dependence of membrane fouling on flux has been investigated using silica as the model foulant in a crossflow membrane module operated at constant flux. Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to monitor the electrical properties of the fouling process. We show that the nature of a flow...
