Advances in particulate fouling mechanism and CFD simulation of pressure-driven membrane processes
In pressure-driven membrane separation processes,membrane fouling is one of the key factors affecting the performance and lifetime of the membrane.Analyzing the formation mechanism of pollutants on the membrane surface is of great significance for the development of high-performance anti-fouling membranes and for improving the stability of system operation.This article reviews the research progress in the formation mechanism of surface fouling of pressure-driven membranes,mechanistic models,and computational fluid dynamics simulations at home and abroad.It focuses on introducing the formation mechanism and influencing factors of particulate fouling and reviews the mathematical models used to explain the formation of particulate fouling.Finally,it summarizes the application of computational fluid dynamics in the simulation of particulate fouling,which provides a reference for theoretical calculation,and simulation modeling of pressure-driven membrane fouling.
