Abstract: | The mean specific resistance of the cakes of various microorganisms was evaluated by measurement of either a change in the amount of permeate with time or of steady-state flux under constant pressure. The mean specific resistance was different with different shapes and sizes of microorganisms. The large differences arose from different packing structures of the cake. The effect of a filter aid on the filtration rate and cake structure was studied experimentally and theoretically. The effects of a filter aid were best explained by a series model, in which a cake layer composed of microbial cells and a layer of randomly distributed microbial cells and filter aid are packed on the membrane surface in series with respect to the directions of permeation. |
