Abstract

Abstract

During the application of porous membrane filtration to water treatment, particles in the feedwater can adsorb onto membrane surfaces and cause pore constriction or even blockage, resulting in severe membrane fouling. In this paper, studies pertaining to numerical models for the fouling process were systematically reviewed, with special focuses on the simulation of multilayer adsorption and the resultant pore constriction by waterborne particles. Generally, current models could be classified into three categories:macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic. Because membrane fouling involved the competitions between particle-fluid, particle-surface and particle-particle interactions, a suitable model should provide a detailed and simultaneous description of these interactions; this was currently difficult for realistic membrane filtration systems. Based upon these findings, this paper further outlined future prospect in developing and experimental validating numerical models for particulate membrane fouling. Advances in this field would better instruct water treatment plants to control membrane fouling.
