Fouling behavior of isolated dissolved organic fractions from seawater in reverse osmosis (RO) desalination process by Yin, Wenqiang, Li, Xin, Suwarno, Stanislaus Raditya, Cornelissen, Emile R., Chong, Tzyy Haur

“…SWRO fouling experiments were carried out and fouling mechanism was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) method and extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory. Results showed that initial fouling (i.e., foulant-membrane interaction) was the main driver in SWRO organic fouling with biopolymer fraction as the major contributor followed by low molecular weight fraction. …”
