Jan, A. (author), Chen, M. (author), Nijboer, Michiel (author), Luiten-Olieman, Mieke W.J. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author)Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is widely used for the chemical cleaning of fouled ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. Various studies performed on polymeric membranes demonstrate that long-term (>100 h) exposure to NaClO deteriorates the physicochemical properties of the membranes, leading to reduced performance and service life. However, the effect...journal article 2024
