abstract = {Membrane crossflow ultrafiltration (UF) is widely used for
the enrichment and purification of colloids and proteins. In
this continuous process, a feed dispersion is steadily
pumped through a channel consisting of solvent-permeable
membrane walls. The applied transmembrane pressure (TMP)
causes the solvent to flow out of the membrane channel. The
TMP-induced permeate flux of a colloidal dispersion is
commonly smaller than that of pure solvent. This unwarranted
permeate flux reduction is due to the following effects.
First, the permeate flux transports colloidal particles
towards the inner membrane surface where they form a
particle-enriched diffuse layer. This so-called
concentration polarization (CP) layer increases the osmotic
particle pressure which counteracts the applied TMP. Second,
membrane-fouling mechanisms are operative, including the
formation of adsorbed particle layers partially blocking the
membrane pores, and the formation of a cake multi-layer of
immobilized particles. Fouling mechanisms decrease the
hydraulic permeability of the membrane and possibly cause
irreversible damage to the membrane. We have developed a
semi-analytic modified boundary layer approximation (mBLA)
method to calculate concentration and flow profiles in the
UF of colloidal dispersions from knowledge of the
concentration-dependent bulk suspension properties [1, 2].
The mBLA is an accurate and fast method, producing results
in full agreement with numerically expensive finite-element
calculations [1]. Moreover, the semi-analytic mBLA
expressions provide the important insight into the influence
of dispersion properties such as the collective diffusion
coefficient and shear viscosity, which helps to improve the
UF efficiency [1, 2]. We present mBLA results for the UF of
dispersions of solvent-permeable rigid, and of
charge-stabilized colloidal particles in a broad range of
particle sizes. A simple cake layer model is used to unravel
the relations between critical and limiting permeate fluxes
and applied TMP [3]. References[1] G. W. Park and G.
