Effects of different cut-off membranes on the permeate flux and observed rejection were also studied in the stirred cell module. Effects of operating conditions, e.g. pressure difference, Reynolds number and feed concentration on the permeate flux and observed rejection were also investigated. Such comparative study may be useful to select a suitable module, membrane and a set of optimum operating conditions to achieve a desired quantity and quality of permeate flux. A comparative analysis of flux decline for different modules is also presented using a simple resistance-in-series model.enBlack LiquorFlux declineFoulingLignin UltrafiltrationArticleKekana, P.
