As reported in Table 2, the feed
wastewater is a mixture of complicated composition,
including small amount of uncoagulated latex, serum with
substantial quantities of proteins, carbohydrates, sugars,
lipids, carotenoids, as well as inorganic and organic salts and
also includes washing water from the various processing
stages [2]. It is believed that the major reason for this severe
flux decline is due to membrane fouling.
