Abstract
Microfiltration can increase the service life of metalworking fluid by removing contaminants. However, membranes quickly become clogged, a process known as fouling. Anti-fouling methods in practice in the mid-2000s involved backpulsing the membrane or modifying its surface to mechanically remove fouling. However, those methods merely slowed fouling and did not prevent it. Thus ISTC’s Kishore Rajagopalan and colleagues from the University of Illinois set out to develop a new metalworking fluid that does not foul the membrane.
