TLDR
In this paper, the role of chemical and physical interactions in natural organic matter (NOM) fouling of nanofiltration membranes is systematically investigated, and it is demonstrated that the rate of fouling is controlled by an interplay between permeation drag and electrostatic double layer repulsion.

Nanofiltration of Hormone Mimicking Trace Organic Contaminants

TL;DR: In this article, the removal mechanisms of three hormone mimicking organic compounds by nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been examined, and two NF membranes having different pore sizes were used in laboratory-scale nan-ofiltration experiments with feed solutions spiked with a hormone mimic compound (nonylphenol, tert-butylphenol or bisphenol A).

Application of coagulation–ultrafiltration hybrid process for drinking water treatment: Optimization of operating conditions using experimental design

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic experimental design based on first order model of 24 full factorial design was used as an initial screening process to determine the significant variable factors and their inter-relationship towards natural organic matter (NOM) removal efficiency.

Hydraulic irreversibility of ultrafiltration membrane fouling by humic acid: Effects of membrane properties and backwash water composition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed hydraulically irreversible fouling and hydraulic cleaning efficiency for five commercially available ultrafiltration (UF) membranes: polyethersulfone (PES, 100 kDa), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, 100kDa) and cellulose acetate (CA, 100, 30 and 10 kDa) using various compositions of backwash water including ultrapure water, monovalent cations (Na + ), divalent cations, an organic compound (HA) and UF permeate.

Critical flux concept for microfiltration fouling

TL;DR: The concept of critical flux is introduced in this article to identify the critical flux and the desirability of starting filtration operations at a low flux, where a flux below which a decline of flux with time does not occur.
