Abstract
ISTC’s Kishore Rajagopalan and colleagues from the University of Illinois discovered that partial blocking of pore spaces from microemulsion aggregation was a new fouling mechanism leading to total pore space blocking and causing a reduction in flux. The team was able to develop a model that simulated both total and partial pore space blockage.
