Impact of aeration rate and zeolite concentration on the microfiltration flux

Physico‐Chemical Processes

“…Their results indicated that 1) the local critical flux values (J(c, local) ) grew with height along the membrane and with flow rate of gas, but was relatively unchanged with variation of liquid flow rate; 2) the mean bubble velocity and mean specific bubble area increased with height along membrane, whereas bubble density on membrane area decreased with height; 3) bubble momentum and mean area per bubble had the most positive correlation with J(c, local) ; and 4) the overall critical flux, i.e., the average of the local critical fluxes, linearly rose with the ratio of gas to total flow rates. Bakalar and Sabo (2017) studied the impacts of aeration rate and zeolite concentration on the MF flux.…”
