The objective is to understand the nature and mechanism of membrane fouling during the ultrafiltration of multi-component feed streams. This would form the basis for the design of low fouling polymeric membranes capable of withstanding variations in feed composition including shock loads of foulants. The experiment work will involve functionalization of membrane surfaces using heterogeneous photo initiated graft copolymerization.
