Membrane technology has been widely adopted for filtration and separation applications to enhance production quality and operational efficiency over the last decade. In practical chemical and biochemical separation processes, multicomponent suspensions often lead to membrane fouling, which becomes the primary contributor to filtration resistance. Therefore, reducing membrane fouling and filtration resistance is crucial for improving filtration performance and ensuring cost-effective membrane processes. Shear-enhanced dynamic filtration presents a promising alternative to traditional cross-flow filtration by introducing additional mechanical forces that significantly reduce cake-fouling resistance. Although the power consumption for dynamic filtration supply may be higher than the others in solid–liquid separation processing, there is more beneficial for preventing fouling from attaching to the membrane surface.
This presentation will provide an overview of recent developments and applications of dynamic filtration. The effects of operational conditions on cake properties, cake fomation, filtration flux, and product rejection will be thoroughly discussed. The influences of structural parameters on hydrodynamics and filtration performance in rotating-disk dynamic filtration can be evaluated by computational fluid dynamics simulation. This approach plays a critical role in determining the cost-effectiveness and future development. The novel designs of disk geometries will be determined by its high filtration flux and flexible operation. Overall, this presentation will explore potential strategies for advancing dynamic filtration technologies and promoting sustainability in solid-liquid industrial applications.
