Full Description

Membrane fouling is an obstacle for the efficient operation of membrane plantsused for the desalination of brackish water and drinking water treatment. Amongthe foulants in raw waters, natural organic matter ( NOM ) is a major cause ofmembrane fouling. A systematic bench-scale investigation on the roles of calciumconcentration and hydrodynamics (controlled by permeate flux and cross flow rate)in nanofiltration ( NF) membrane fouling by NOM is reported. It is shown that NOMfouling is determined by an interplay between chemical and hydrodynamicinteractions. Includes figures.
