Mechanisms for the ultrasonic enhancement of dairy whey ultrafiltration (2005, background): “Recently, a number of other researchers have also demonstrated the effective use of ultrasound (US) alone to enhance the permeate flux [13–29].”
Mechanisms and factors influencing the ultrasonic cleaning of particle-fouled ceramic membranes (2004, background): “found significant damage to polymeric membranes as a result of ultrasound [37], our studies found no evidence of damage to the membranes using extensive SEM images of membrane surfaces and measurements of aluminum concentrations in the cavitating solutions (levels never exceeded blank concentrations”
