Abstract

Ultrafiltration is a pressure-driven membrane technique whose applications are wide ranging: protein fractionation to wastewater treatment. The performance of ultrafiltration is limited by concentration polarization and subsequent fouling. Gas sparging i.e. introduction of gas bubbles along with the feed has been shown to be effective in reducing concentration polarization and thus controlling fouling. This chapter reviews the recent developments in gas-sparged ultrafiltration. The review focuses on the basics of ultrafiltration and two-phase flow hydrodynamics, the use of gas bubbles for enhancing permeate flux and its applications in bioseparation and wastewater treatment. Some practical issues and future challenges are also discussed.
