This study increases our current understanding on the degradation/ageing mechanisms occurring on porous membranes used in the water and wastewater industries. Accelerated membrane degradation was obtained through both static and consecutive ageing protocols on the pilot-scale, and a range of carefully selected characterisation and analytical techniques was used to characterise the nascent changes faced by the membrane material. The report covers four interrelated sections:Critical assessment of characterisation techniquesStatic accelerated ageingConsecutive accelerated ageingConsecutive ageing of industrially-aged membranes.This final report summarises the aims, objectives, outcomes and limitations of the individual work packages, along with some recommendations for future work.This book is co-published with Water Research Australia.
