In-situ monitoring of oil emulsion fouling in ultrafiltration via electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS): influence of surfactant by Tian, Ju, Trinh, Thien An, Kalyan, Muppalla Naga, Ho, Jia Shin, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Therefore, this study provided clear evidence that the surfactant oppositely charged to the membrane (i.e., CTAB) adsorbed extensively initially to give negligible flux decline, which was not the case for the surfactants that were similarly negatively charged like the membrane. This only lasted for 0.5 h beyond which fouling became pronounced per dictated by DLVO interaction energy.…”
