On What Factors Does Concentration Of Mass At Membrane Surface Depends?

Solute concentration: The higher the solute concentration in the bulk fluid, the higher the solute concentration at the membrane surface.
Rate of solute transport: The faster the solutes are transported through the membrane, the lower the solute concentration at the membrane surface.
Fouling: The presence of fouling on the membrane surface can increase the solute concentration at the membrane surface.
Operating conditions: The operating conditions, such as the pressure and temperature, can affect the rate of solute transport through the membrane.
Membrane properties: The membrane properties, such as the pore size and the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, can affect the rate of solute transport through the membrane.
