Advancement in Membrane Fouling Analysis Using Chromatic Elemental Imaging

This paper discusses Chromatic Elemental Imaging (CEI) as it relates to identifying the spatial distribution and relative concentrations of elements with high accuracy and resolution for membrane separation and filtration technologies. Discussed are the benefits of the technology and a comparison to Element Mapping (EM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) all of which only represent limited results when used separately.
