Methods Employed for Control of Fouling in MF and UF Membranes: A Comprehensive Review

Hilal, Nidal, Ogunbiyi, Oluwaseun O., Miles, Nick J., Nigmatullin, Rinat·2005·Separation Science and Technology

Abstract

Membrane‐based processes are very susceptible to flux decline due to concentration polarization and fouling problems and the concept of fouling control via process optimization, membrane surface modification, and cleaning have been the focus of research in wastewater and water treatment. MF and UF membranes are utilized in many areas of industry. The main sector of application includes water and wastewater. There has been emphasis on the various methods used to reduce and, where possible, eliminate fouling. This review is a comprehensive insight into the wide range of techniques used in the control of fouling in both MF and UF membranes. It also addresses the amount of research that has gone into the various techniques used and the results achieved after experimental work.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
