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.About:

Development and Control of Bacterial Biofilms on Dairy Processing Membranes
TL;DR: The role of quorum-sensing-based cell-to-cell signaling, which provides communication within bacterial cells to form a mature biofilm, and also the role of applying quorum inhibitors to prevent biofilm formation are shown.

Simplified Analysis of Contaminant Rejection During Ground- and Surface Water Nanofiltration Under the Information Collection Rule
TL;DR: Even though the model developed does not account for ion coupling and cannot be applied in a purely predictive mode, it can assist in the better design and interpretation of data obtained from site-specific pilot-scale water treatment NF studies conducted in support of plant design.

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.
