A dynamic analysis procedure has been adopted based on mass and force balances for particle deposition on the membrane surface to analysis and predict the particle fouling layer structure in microfiltration. The local properties in a fouling layer, say porosity distribution, resistance to fluid flow

The effects of membrane pore size and operating conditions on the particle fouling in ‘‘dead-end’’ microfiltration are studied by use of membrane blocking models. Two track-etched membranes (Isopore1membrane) with the mean pore diameters of 0.2 and 0.4 mm, respectively, are used as the filter media
