文摘
- •
A method of in situ fouling quantification is developed for RO and FO.
- •
Foulant accumulation is represented by cake structural parameter and pore size.
- •
Alginate fouling accumulation rates in RO are independent of salinity and pressure.
- •
The slower flux decline of FO results in a higher rate of foulant accumulation.
