摘要
In the process of ultrafiltration, the occurrence of the limiting flux iselucidated with the formation of a cake(gel) layer on the membrane surface. Before cake formation,the pressure drop on the concentration polarization layer, as well as the permeate flux, increaseswith the applied pressure. The pressure drop on the concentration polarization layer, however, willno longer change with the applied pressure after the formation of the cake layer. The limiting fluxwill be obtained if the hydrodynamic conditions in the filtration channel are not affected by thecake layer. A mathematics model for predicting the limiting flux for the charged solute inultrafiltration is developed. In this model, a repulsive electric force is taken into account inaddition to convection and diffusion when the solute is carrying the same charge as the membranematerial. A procedure to correlate the model with experimental ultrafiltration data is also present.The results show that a model in this paper is developed on a more realistic perception of theultrafiltration system and the predicting data agrees well with experimental data.
