摘要
The performance of a microfiltration (MF) membrane was compared with an anisotropic ultrafiltration (UF) membrane during cell harvesting of E.coli. The microfiltration membrane has very high surface porosity and thus very high water flux. When challenged with E.coli fermentation broth of the MF membrane exhibited a much higher rate of initial flux decline and gave lower steady state flux than the UF membrane. Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the nature of the deposits on the remaining membrane surface after use.
