Zhao, F., Chu, H., Yu, Z., Jiang, S., Zhao, X., Zhou, X., Zhang, Y.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n In this study, ultrafiltration membranes with three different pore sizes were applied for algae harvesting to investigate filtration performance. The critical fluxes (JC) increased as the pore size increased, and the JC of 0.03-, 0.05- and 0.1-\u03bcm membranes were 20.0, 25.0 and 42.0 L m\u2212 2 h\u2212 1, respectively. During continuous filtration, 0.7JC was selected as the operation flux and the 0.1-\u03bcm membrane had the highest initial flux and final flux. It also had the highest flux decline rate, and therefore, the 0.1-\u03bcm membrane was more appropriate for algae separation compared to the 0.03- and 0.05-\u03bcm membrane. The mechanism by which pore size influenced filtration performance and membrane fouling was presented from the viewpoint of permeate drag force (FD). A lower FD retarded the velocity of algae cells towards the membrane, which could decelerate the deposition of particles on the membrane and thus reduce the membrane fouling rate. As the pore size increased, the membrane hydraulic resistance (Rm) decreased, which led to a decrease of FD. \u00a9 2017 Elsevier B.V.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DOI: 10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2017.02.035<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Science of the Total Environment Volume 587-588, 1 June 2017, Pages 87-93, ISSN: 00489697 Zhao, F., Chu, H., Yu, Z., Jiang, S., Zhao, X., Zhou, X., Zhang, Y.
