Fouling of ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes by dissolved organic matter

Fouling is the drop in permeate flux per unit of applied pressure due to the accumulation of materials in the pores and on the surface of the membrane. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters is often an important factor in irreversible fouling of membranes. This work characterizes fouling...
