“…Various mathematical descriptions of the flux decline during dead end and cross-flow microfiltration are available in literature [23][24][25][26]. In most studies, it is proposed that the initial rapid flux decline arises from pore blockage, triggered by physical deposition of solutes on the membrane surface, followed by the cake formation.…”

“…Similar analyses were carried out by Cassano et al (2008) for kiwi fruit juice ultrafiltration. A recent re-examination of the model proposed by Field et al (1995) better elucidated the concept of critical flux when complete pore blocking occurs (Field and Wu, 2011).…”

a b s t r a c tThis work evaluated the microfiltration process for the clarification of passion fruit juice. Moreover, the influence of some pretreatments (centrifugation, enzymatic liquefaction and chitosan coagulation) before passion fruit juice microfiltration was analyzed. Enzymatic treatment reduced the juice viscosity, and centrifugation step was important for colour and turbidity reductions. Chitosan addition was the most promising pretreatment, since it provides the highest reductions of colour and turbidity, enabling the highest permeate flux in the microfiltration process of pretreated passion fruit juice. The microfiltration process with hollow fibre membranes resulted in a clean passion fruit juice, almost free of turbidity. The applied pretreatment did not influence the characteristics of the obtained permeate. According to the obtained results, the predominant fouling mechanism depends on the applied pretreatment. In centrifuged and enzymatic treated samples, cake formation was found to be the major fouling factor, while internal pore blocking occurred during the filtration of the chitosan pretreated sample.

“…Equation (88) has been widely employed in the analysis of the flux decline behaviors in crossflow membrane filtration of a variety of colloids (Todisco et al, 1996;Blanpain and Lalande, 1997;de Barros et al, 2003;Rai et al, 2006;Cassano et al, 2007;Mondal and De, 2009;Vera et al, 2009;Ma et al, 2010;Chang et al, 2011;Daniel et al, 2011;Field and Wu, 2011;Huang et al, 2014). Electric field-assisted membrane filtration in which the particle deposition was restricted due to an external electric field was also investigated on the basis of blocking filtration laws as well as crossflow membrane filtration (Sarkar and De, 2012).…”

Blocking filtration laws consist of four different filtration mechanisms: complete blocking, standard blocking, intermediate blocking, and cake filtration. Blocking filtration laws for describing both the pore blocking and cake formation have been extensively employed over the past several decades to evaluate the increase in filtration resistance with the progress of filtration in the field of classical particulate filtration. In recent years, blocking filtration laws become widely used also in membrane filtration such as microfiltration and ultrafiltration of colloids. This paper gives an overview of the developments of blocking filtration laws and equations under constant pressure and constant rate conditions reported for the filtrate flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The fouling index evaluating the degree of membrane fouling was examined on the basis of the blocking filtration equations. The blocking filtration laws were reexamined to extend the range of their application. Moreover, various combined models developed based on the blocking filtration laws were introduced for describing more rigorously the complicated filtration behaviors controlled by more than one mechanism which occurs successively or simultaneously.
