I have currently carried out solute rejection for four different molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) but don't understand how to translate their response in order to determine the pore size distribution. How can i go about it.
I have carried out the membrane performance for oil emulsion as well as carried out the solute (PEG) rejection but didn't understand how to determine the pore size of the membrane after the solute rejection.
There are several models to determine pore size from rejection experiment using neutral solutes like PEG. The easiest and popular one is probably the steric hindrance pore (SHP) model. There are quite many publications about it. Let me know if you couldn't find any.
