Linearized Form | n | Assumption | |
---|---|---|---|
Standard Blocking | 1.5 | Deposition of particles smaller than the pore size resulting in smaller pores | |
Intermediate Blocking | 1 | Particles super-impose on each other. | |
Complete Blocking | 2 | Membrane pores are completely sealed off by the particles | |
Cake filtration | 0 | Particles deposit on membrane-feed interface forming a cake layer |
