A theoretical investigation of particle deposition onto a permeable surface of a tubular membrane is presented. The mass transport mechanisms are mathematically expressed using the two-dimensional convective diffusion equation. A numerical scheme is presented to solve the two-dimensional convective

It is now common knowledge that membrane filtration processes can be considered as high performance separation techniques, not only in laboratory experiments but also in many industrial applications. With its strong development for the production of large-scale drinking water, the ultrafiltration on

One of the major problems associated with membrane separation processes, which restricts the widespread application of this process in the industry is the decline in flux. This occurs due to the build up of the solute concentration near the membrane surface, which is defined as concentration polaris

New mineral membranes made of sintered clay were performed and characterized in terms of porosity, hydraulic resistance, pore diameter and mechanical resistance. These membranes can be used as microfiltration membranes. The variations of the filtrate flux as a function of time are measured during cr
