Chemical cleaning of a tubular ceramic microfiltration membrane fouled with a whey protein concentrate suspension—Characterization of hydraulic and chemical cleanliness

“…A few interesting review articles have been published on membrane cleaning to which the reader can refer [5][6][7][8]. The number of authors who published on the modelling aspects of chemical cleaning of membranes is quite limited [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Membrane chemical cleaning has been widely studied by means of qualitative models that describe the removal of foulants more or less bound to the membrane material and take into account the interactions which occur between fouling, cleaning agent and membrane surface [16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Cleaning ceramic membranes used in treating desizing wastewater with a complex-surfactant SDBS-assisted method

“…Numerous studies on the cleaning of fouled membranes using various types of chemical agents have been reported. The study of Zondervan and Roffel [21] showed that caustic soda (at a concentration of 0.05 mol/L) presented the best cleaning performance in the case of membranes fouled by surface waters. And Kazemimoghadam and Mohammadi [22] demonstrated that for membranes fouled by milk proteins the cleaning performances of sodium hydroxide were improved when it was combined with a surfactant.…”

Kinetic models for alkali and detergent cleaning of ceramic tubular membrane fouled with whey proteins

“…Also, it took temperature as a variable to control the cleaning process. A two-component-balance-model on cleaning membranes fouled by surface water was developed by Zondervan et al (2007), who followed changes in the fouling state and in the state of the cleaning agent, separately. The model by Zondervan et al (2007) had three parameters determined by a straightforward experimental protocol.…”
