Q » What is membrane concentration polarization?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Membrane concentration polarization occurs when solute particles accumulate near the membrane surface during filtration, forming a concentration gradient. This can reduce the membrane's effectiveness, increase pressure requirements, and lower permeate flux. To mitigate this, strategies such as cross-flow filtration, backwashing, or chemical cleaning are employed, enhancing membrane performance and prolonging its lifespan in water purification systems.
