Popis: Membrane fouling is a serious limitation of membrane processes. In order to reduce membrane fouling insight into adsorption phenomena has to be obtained. For dairy liquids the most abundant foulant is protein. Protein adsorption onto membranes has been studied revealing the necessity of the knowledge of the specific surface area of membranes. Depending on the pore size protein can adsorb onto the inner membrane surface. Fouling can be reduced by choosing membranes with small pores.
