Abstract

Changes in the properties of a FiTreM track membrane filter with a 0.45 μm pore diameter during water filtration and changes in filtration rate during continuous water filtration were studied. It was established during the experiments that the decrease in filtration rate through a track membrane filter depends both on the occurrence of suspensions and colloid compounds, as well as on the physical properties of the filter. This is also due to the change in membrane permeability due to partial destruction of a filter, its compaction during use, as well as the accumulation of a negative charge on the pore surface due to the dissociation of COOH groups.
