Abstract: | The glass-ball-inserted membrane module has been designed to enhance the filtration of a flat-sheet membrane. Three different
modes of filtration experiments were conducted and compared to demonstrate the flux enhancement due to the presence of glass
balls: normal dead-end filtration, vortex flow filtration, and enhanced vortex flow filtration using glass balls. In the case
of enhanced vortex flow filtration, the permeate flux was found to be three times as large as that of dead-end filtration
and two times larger than vortex flow filtration. In addition, the flux decline was observed to be relatively low. The effect
of the amount of glass balls on the permeate flux was also investigated by changing the glass ball volume fraction from 0.059
to 0.356. It has been observed that the permeate flux shows a maximum value of the volume fraction of 0.119. For the glass-ball-inserted
membrane module, the permeate flux tends to increase with the feed flow rate. |
