A Comprehensive Review on Membrane Fouling: Mathematical Modelling, Prediction, Diagnosis, and Mitigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Membrane-based separation has gained increased popularity over the past few decades, particularly reverse osmosis (RO). A major impediment to improved performance of membrane processes, in general, is fouling. Fouling detrimental effects on membrane’s and integrity, as deposition accumulation foulants its surface and/or within pores leads a decline permeate flux, deterioration selectivity, permeability, well significantly reduced lifespan. Several factors influence fouling-propensity membrane, such morphology, roughness, hydrophobicity, material fabrication. Generally, fouling can be categorized into particulate, organic, inorganic, biofouling. Efficient prediction techniques diagnostics are integral for strategizing control, management, mitigation interventions minimize damage occurrences membranes. To improve antifouling characteristics RO membranes, enhancements by different chemical physical means have been extensively sought after. Moreover, research efforts directed towards synthesizing membranes using novel materials that would their performance. This paper presents review types, fouling-inducing factors, predictive methods, diagnostic techniques, strategies, with special focus

متن کاملA comprehensive review of milk fouling on heated surfaces.
Heat exchanger performance degrades rapidly during operation due to formation of deposits on heat transfer surfaces which ultimately reduces service life of the equipment. Due to scaling, product deteriorates which causes lack of proper heating. Chemistry of milk scaling is qualitatively understood and the mathematical models for fouling at low temperatures have been produced but the behavior o...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Review of Membrane Distillation and Osmotic Distillation in Agro-Food Applications
Membrane distillation (MD) and osmotic distillation (OD) are emerging athermal processing techniques of great interest in agro-food production where the most part of products is sensitive to thermal treatments. With respect to conventional methods, MD and OD are competitive alternatives, able to work in an environmental-friendly and cost-efficient way, for preserving the nutritional and sensori...
