摘要
Microfiltration is widely used in fine filtration operations, with dead-end filtration and cross-flow filtration. The microfiltration filter element or the microfiltration membrane is easy to be polluted by impurities in the water and causes fouling, resulting in flux attenuation. The flux can be expressed by Darcy’s law and attenuation model. In this paper, two industrial titanium rod sintered filter elements (<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><span style="white-space:nowrap;">?</span></span>60 × 960 mm and <span style="white-space:nowrap;"><span style="white-space:nowrap;">?</span></span>60 × 960 mm) of different specifications are selected, and tap water (1.0 NTU) is used for constant pressure dead-end filtration.
