Abstract
The results of an experimental study of ceramic membrane microfiltrati on of synthetic polymer colloids differing greatly in average particle size and distribution broadness are presented. The effects of the pol ymer nature, pressure difference, feed velocity, and particle to membr ane pore diameter ratio on the permeate flux and membrane fouling are discussed. Attempts have also been made to explain the results in term s of simple models of the operative mechanisms.
