Abstract

The molecular weights of surfactant SDS(M.W. 288) and SLS(M.W. 420) are smaller than the molecular weigh cut-off of cellulose acetate membrane used in this study. However, 20% of SDS and 67% of SLS were rejected by cellulose aectate membrane. The higher rejection rate of SLS than that of SDS is due to the longer hydrophobic chain and greater molecular weight. There was no resistance to permeation rate by membrane fouling. Most of permeation resistance was due to the concentration polarization. Permeation rate was declined with operating time and with increase in concentration of surfactant due to concentration polarization.
