Cross-flow

A simple semi-theoretical steady-state model for the convective flux in cross-flow microfiltration has been developed based on the mass balance. The model, which has two coefficients, A and K, can describes the cake increase on membrane surfaces in a hollow-fiber membrane module and predicts its mem

Microfiltration of yeast suspensions (Sacch. cerevisiae) was carried out to investigate the impact of a secondary membrane, composed of deposited yeast cells, on the filtration performance. Cross-flow filtration experiments with yeast–water suspensions in a rectangular channel showed the deposition
