Comprehensive Review of Membrane Fouling Control Mechanisms
Abstract: One of the biggest problems with membrane-based separation procedures is membrane fouling. As particles, organic matter, microbes, and other materials build up on the membrane’s surface or inside its pores, the effectiveness of membranes – such as those used in reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration – declines over time. The effectiveness and longevity of the membrane are eventually lowered because of this fouling, which causes a drop in flux and …

Analysis of Optimal Clearance Volume Between Two Concentric Cylinders in a Couette Flow Membrane Module Using a Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach
Abstract: Membrane-based separation has become an integral part of the separation industry due to its diverse applications across various fields. However, this progress is often hindered by two major challenges: fouling and concentration polarization. Many membrane modules have made significant efforts to overcome these obstacles, yet a satisfactory solution to mitigate these issues and facilitate membrane-based processes in the separation industries is still needed. These issues are successfully handled using Dynamic …
