A dead-end ultrafiltration cup was continuously operated to investigate the underlying mechanisms of membrane fouling caused by gel layer in this paper. Anionic polyacrylamide was used as a model foulant for gel formation process in various ultrafiltration processes by two kinds of ultrafiltration membrane, e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (OM) and TiO₂/Al₂O₃-PVDF membrane (MM); then, a gel formation model was established and systematically assessed. The results show that the gel formation process in ultrafiltration can be divided into three stages: “slow-rapid-slow” flux decay curve. The R² value of the simulation curve was still higher than 0.90 for both OM and MM. Based on the current cognition, the proposed gel layer formation mechanism and mathematical model were feasible.
