Abstract:

The fouling problem has to be solved because fouling significantly reduces the performance of porous polymeric membranes. This paper presents methods to prepare low fouling membranes or to modify commercial/existing membranes to be low fouling membranes. At first, the principle of membrane separation as well as fouling phenomenon is presented. Important low fouling characters are also outlined. Thereafter, modification of membrane polymers to obtain low fouling character, principle as well as recent development in preparation of low fouling polymeric membranes and membrane modification of commercial/existing membrane are discussed.
