Abstract Modeling of micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) was studied for the removal of Ni from aqueous phase by using sodium dodecyl sulphate for micellisation. Localized adsorption equilibrium model was used to predict the bound and unbound counter ions. The retentate concentration was predicted using localized adsorption equilibrium and a material balance model, and the experimental values are in close agreement with less than 1% deviations. Experimental values of the permeate flux were in close agreement with the predicted values obtained by resistances in the series model. An algorithm was developed for the prediction of the retentate concentration.
