Abstract

The specific resistance of the cake formed in the crossflow filtration of Escherichia coliwas higher than that formed in the dead-end filtration. The scanning electronmicrographs revealed that the cells in the cake formed in the crossflow filtration were oriented in the direction of the circulation flow, while the cells deposited at random in the dead-end filtration. The shear-induced arrangement of cells might increase the specific resistance of the cake in crossflow filtration.
