Separation Characteristics of Ultrafiltration Membranes

  • Chapter
Membranes and Membrane Processes

Abstract

The selectivity of ultrafiltration membranes is determined primarily by the ratio between the hydrodynamic diameter of the solute and the apparent pore diameter. The retention characteristics of a given UF membrane are usually presented as the retention versus the molecular weight of different macromolecules, and the molecular weight cut-off is said to be the Mw-value which is almost totally rejected.
