Resistance-in-Series for Membrane Ultrafiltration in Hollow Fibers of Tube-and-Shell Arrangement

Abstract

Abstract The effects of operating conditions on membrane ultrafiltration of dextran T500 solution in a hollow-fiber cartridge made of polysulfone have been investigated experimentally. The experimental data agree with the correlation equation based on the resistance-in-series model. It is believed that this model would also be suitable for most membrane ultrafiltration systems.
