Abstract

See full text

Improvement in cross-flow membrane filtration. Chitosan is admixed with an aqueous dispersion of colloids or finely divided solids to flocculate the solids. The chitosan-flocculated liquid is then filtered on a membrane by cross-flow under pressure. A layer of chitosan-containing flocculant material deposits on the membrane and provides superior flux performance as compared to certain commerical flocculants.
