“…However, the permeate flux of traditional membrane separation decreases rapidly with time due to membrane fouling and concentration polarization. Therefore, several physicochemical methods have been developed to mitigate membrane fouling and enhance filtration such as adding reactive salts (Belkacem et al, 1995), coagulation/flocculation pretreatment (Zhong et al, 2003) and dynamic shear enhanced processes, i.e., rotating membranes and vibratory shear enhancing process (VSEP) (Ersahin et al, 2012;Jaffrin, 2008;Zhang et al, 2013). According to the report of Belkacem et al, the membrane flux was greatly enhanced by adding low dosage of inorganic salt.…”
