Microstructures of cakes formed on ultrafiltration membrane as a result of packing of colloidal aggregates generated in rapid coagulation have been investigated though small angle neutron scattering experiments. Scattering curves show an extensive collapse of fractal structure of colloidal aggregate

A theoretical study is developed for the modelling of mass accumulation from the polarised layer to the formation of a deposit. Concentrated suspension properties are accounted for through a solid pressure corresponding to osmotic pressure in the suspension and to compression resistance in the depos
