Direct observation of initial microbial deposition onto reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes
Arun Subramani,Eric M.V. Hoek +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the physicochemical factors governing initial rates of microbial deposition onto reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes using direct microscopic observation and found that the initial microbial deposition rates for three different microorganisms onto four NF/RO membranes increased with increasing permeate velocity, decreasing crossflow velocity, increasing salt rejection, increasing cell size, increasing membrane surface roughness, decreasing free energy of adhesion, and decreasing electrostatic double layer repulsion.
