A network-based approach to interpreting pore blockage and cake filtration during membrane fouling by Han, Qi, Li, Weiyi, Trinh, Thien An, Liu, Xin, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Although limited fouling cases were examined in the current study, it is expected that the network model developed here can be readily applied to study more complex phenomena involved in a membrane filtration process (e.g., shear-induced diffusion), and the associated insights would be significantly enhanced when coupled with more advanced fouling characterization techniques (e.g., Optical Coherence Tomography).…”
