Particle movements provoke avalanche-like compaction in soft colloid filter cakes

Abstract During soft matter filtration, colloids accumulate in a compressible porous cake layer on top of the membrane surface. The void size between the colloids predominantly defines the cake-specific permeation resistance and the corresponding filtration efficiency. While higher fluxes are benefi...
