Fouling is the main limitation in membrane separation processes. This phenomenon occurs by the adsorption/deposition of particles, colloids, or biomolecules on the membrane surface and it pores. This process can severely affect membrane performance due to the decrease in permeate flux, lifetime reduction, and selectively and separability changes. Studies have concluded that physicochemical superficial...
