Influence of backwashing on the pore size of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes

Backwashing is a common method for fouling mitigation. However, its impact on the pore-size distribution (PSD) of hollow fiber (HF) membranes has not been studied to date. This study quantitatively assessed the effects of filtration and backwashing cycles on the PSDs of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and p...
