Considerations of the limitations of commonly applied characterisation methods in understanding protein-driven irreversible fouling

Abstract

FEEM and LC-OCD characterisation supplemented with an understanding of protein morphology, hydrophobicity and charge lends insights into protein fouling behaviour.

Fabrication of a polyethersulfone/polyethyleneimine porous membrane for sustainable separation of proteins in water media

“…The antifouling properties of the protein solution were investigated by filtration across the membrane. 35 The porous membrane flux recovery ratio (FRR) was examined using formula (4) to determine their antifouling properties.where J 1 and J 2 are the fluxes before and after each protein filtration, respectively.…”
