Comparison of membrane fouling during ultrafiltration with adsorption studied by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D)
Even though membrane technology is used in numerous industrial applications, membrane fouling is still a major challenge. Valuable information on the formation kinetics and structure of the fouling layer can be obtained by in situ real-time monitoring. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) enables the study of adsorptive fouling in situ on a model membrane. However, so fa
