Several membranes have been tested in a test loop especially built in order to achieve well-defined flow conditions at the membrane surface. A test solution of dextran was ultrafiltrated at 0.5 MPa and 25°C at five circulation velocities from 5 m/s to 1 m/s. This corresponds to Reynolds numbers of 2

In this paper the main techniques (microscopy observations, molecular weight cut-off determinations, porosity measurements) for characterizing ultrafiltration membranes are critically reviewed and discussed . Particular attention is devoted to the problem of evaluating the porosity of the membrane s
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) were used to investigate the surface of ultraÐltration membranes with pore sizes of ¿10 nm. It is widely accepted that conventional AFM with TiO 2 or Si tips is not able to resolve pores in supported ceramic membranes with a dia
