Some inconsistencies were found in the literature on the effect of surfactant type on membrane fouling by surfactant-stabilized oil emulsions. For instance, a recent study showed that the fouling trends revealed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) were incongruent with the flux decline trends. Thi...
