Salt rejection behaviors coupled with membrane fouling in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) processes were studied through a lab-scale membrane fouling test. Seawater was taken from Masan Bay, South Korea and foulants such as humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA), and silica nanoparticle (S120; particle diameter = 120 nm), were spiked to the seawater for the rapid fouling test. All the test conditions except model foulant were controlled equally. Salt concentration in permeate increases with fl ux decline even with no fouling because of increased water permeation and relatively constant salt passage. Salt mass transfer can be |
