This paper quantifies the influence of operating conditions on the efficiency of domestic wastewater treatment and of membrane bioreactors (MBR) performance with a statistical method (multivariate linear regression model). The impact of the following seven parameters—(1) transmembrane pressure (TMP)

A simple semi-theoretical steady-state model for the convective flux in cross-flow microfiltration has been developed based on the mass balance. The model, which has two coefficients, A and K, can describes the cake increase on membrane surfaces in a hollow-fiber membrane module and predicts its mem

Based on the assumption that the variation rate of average thickness of the deposition layer is proportional to the difference in the masses of solutes brought to the membrane surface by the bulk fluid flow and the solutes removed from the membrane surface by the shear rate of the tangential flow, a

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and cellulose acetate (CA) in the presence of N-methyl pyrrolidone were blended in various combinations by using dimethylformamide (DMF) and glacial acetic acid (CH3COOH) as solvent and used to prepare flat-sheet membranes by the phase
