Polarisation Phenomena and Membrane Fouling

  • Chapter

Abstract

In order to achieve a particular separation via a membrane process, the first step is to develop a suitable membrane. However, during an actual separation, e.g. a pressure driven process, the membrane performance (or better the system performance) can change very much with time, and often a typical flux-time behaviour may be observed: the flux through the membrane decreases over time. This behaviour is shown schematically in figure VII - 1 and is mainly due to concentration polarisation and fouling.
