Ultrafiltration of various types of whey was carried out through an inorganic membrane (M 4 Carbosep, 20000 Da cut-off). Fouling was evaluated as a hydraulic resistance ( R f) and analysed with infrared (IR) and X -ray photoelectron ( XPS) spectroscopies, giving complementary results. Spectroscopic...
