Abstract
Four models for back-transport mechanisms in crossflow microfiltration have been investigated concerning their ability to predict the limiting permeate flux for skim milk. A tubular, ceramic membrane was used to measure the limiting fluxes for a series of crossflow velocities at two temperatures. One of the models — the shear-induced diffusion model — predicts values of the limiting flux close to our experimental values both at 55 and 15°C. The best prediction of the limiting flux is obtained by the empirical relation: flux=Re · 6.94×10 −10 m/s.
