Fouling Mitigation of Silicon Carbide Membranes by Pre-Deposited Dynamic Membranes for the Separation of Oil-in-Water Emulsions.

ABSTRACT: Membrane fouling poses a significant challenge in the widespread adoption and cost-effective operation of membrane technology. Among different strategies to mitigate fouling, dynamic membrane (DM) technology has emerged as a promising one for effective control and mitigation of membrane fouling. Silicon carbide (SiC) membranes have attracted considerable attention as membrane materials due to their remarkable advantages, yet membrane fouling is still inevitable in challenging separation tasks, such as oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion separation, and thus effective mitigation of membrane fouling is essential to maximize their economic viability. This study investigates the use of pre-deposited oxide DMs to mitigate the fouling of SiC membranes during the separation of O/W emulsions. Among five s
