FOULING MECHANISMS ANALYSIS VIA COMBINED FOULING MODELS FOR SURFACE WATER ULTRAFILTRATION PROCESS

Membrane fouling is still the bottleneck affecting the technical and economic performance of the ultrafiltration (UF) process for the surface water treatment.It is very important to accurately understand fouling mechanisms Twin Tub Pump Belt to effectively prevent and control UF fouling.The rejection performance and fouling mechanisms of the UF mem

We applied common (pH, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry) and less-common (infrared spectroscopy, GACS adsorption test, pyrolysis-GC-MS, hydrogen pyrolysis) analytical procedures to a set of biochars from Costa Rica (bamboo stalk, cacao chaff, sawmill scrap, coconut husk and orchard prunings feedstocks).The biochars were produced by high tempera
