The overall goal of this study was to modify commercially available microfiltration (MF) membranes to decrease thebiofouling potential of the membranes while maintaining high flux.The objectives were to:evaluate a suite of commercially available MF membranes to determine which membranes havehigh flux and low biofouling potentials; utilize an ultraviolet(UV)-initiated technique to graft acrylic acid onto the surface of commercially availablemembranes to reduce biofouling potential;characterize the surface of the modified membranes using EKA and solute rejection; and,compare the biofouling potential and flux of virgin and modified membranes. Includes 14 references, table.
