Measurements of contact angle, zeta potential, and pore size distribution for clean, cationic surfactant coated, and organic fouled membranes, were conducted to obtain membranes properties, from perspectives of organic fouling mitigation. Interaction between natural organic matter (NOM) and the memb

A silica membrane was fabricated using the aerosol flame deposition (AFD) method under different sintering temperatures. It was characterized, in terms of roughness, pure water permeability, contact angle, zeta potential, and effective pore size distribution. Membrane performance was evaluated with

Biofouling potential on NF membranes was investigated in terms of bacterial by-products (BBP) characterizations (e.g., effective diffusivity, zeta potential, and toxicity) and their transport phenomenon. Here, BBP were defined as organic matters derived from microorganisms, such as cell debris, solu

Two different NF membranes were operated to remove natural organic matter (NOM) originating from Dongbok Lake in Korea. Coagulation/sedimentation and sand filtration treated waters as membrane feed waters were used. The tested NF membranes were autopsied to compare the fouling propensity from differ
