Impact of combined oil-in-water emulsions and particulate suspensions on ceramic membrane fouling and permeability recovery by Abdalla M.

“…Results showed the addition of suspended solids to the o/w emulsion to be extremely deleterious to sustaining both the permeability and selectivity of the membrane. The addition of 1500 mg·L−1 of bentonite to a 10 vol.% emulsion resulted in a permeability decrease of 3.5–5 times over that recorded for the emulsion, and 8–36 times lower than that of the bentonite suspension. …”
