Fouling of NF270, NF90 and XLE membranes by macromolecules, represented by three model protein foulants (lysozyme, Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and binary protein mixture (BSA-LYZ)), has been examined in this study. Effects of hydrodynamic conditions (initial flux and cross-flow velocity) and feed sol...
