"Influence of operating parameters and membrane fouling on nutrient tra" by Saad Bin Suleman, Faisal I. Hai et al.

The influence of operating parameters (i.e. membrane surface area and water flux) and membrane fouling on FO nutrient retention was examined. A higher water flux and larger membrane surface area significantly improved total ammonia nitrogen retention, owing to the uncoupling of solute and solvent flux and shorter filtration time, respectively. Phosphate retention remained high (>95%) for all experiments. Membrane fouling by real sludge centrate feed solution caused significant water flux decline, and a reduction in total ammonia nitrogen retention was observed at increasing water recovery. Organic fouling by sodium alginate and humic acid also caused significant water flux decline and a lower total ammonia nitrogen retention when compared to a pristine membrane at the same draw solution ionic concentration. However, total ammonia nitrogen retention at the same water flux for a fouled and clean membrane was similar, indicating that membrane fouling had minimal direct influence on nut ....

Analyzing Membrane Fouling with Atomic Force Microscopy

Membrane fouling occurs when insoluble contaminant material is deposited on the membrane surface or within membrane pores, and this can cause deterioration. This article explores how AFM is utilized to analyze membrane fouling. ....
