title: Magnetization influence on the performance of ferrosoferric oxide: polyacrylonitrile membranes in ultrafiltration of pig blood solution.
abstract: Three kinds of membranes were prepared from suspensions containing polyacrylonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, polyethylene glycol and different amount of Fe3O4 by the phase inversion process. The rejection rate and the flux of membrane were investigated in the filtration of pig blood solution. SEM also studied the morphologies of fouled membranes. The permeate flux and the rejection rate decline fast in the initial several minutes and then change slowly. The magnetized membrane has a higher flux and a relative flux than the corresponding non-magnetized membrane. And the magnetized membrane containing about 3 wt% Fe3O4 has a prominent anti-fouling performance with above 52% relative flux. The results indicate that the magnetized ferrosoferric oxide-polyacrylonitrile membranes are promising in the recovery of blood proteins in the slaughterhouse effluents. In addition, the hydraulic resistance model explained results and the fouling mechanism was also given.
