Membrane stress and apparent water flux were measured as a function of time, pressure and milk concentration during unstirred ultrafiltration of milk with a polysulphone membrane. Membrane properties changed considerably after exposure to six common membrane cleanser's with notable changes in the rate of declines in milk flux (Q), increase (inorganic and organic cleansers) and decrease (surfactants) in relative hydraulic resistance (RHR) values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
