A dye-binding procedure was developed for the analysis of protein attached to the membrane, with bound and adsorbed forms of attachment being distinguished. The relationship between modification procedure and protein attachment was explored and related to flux, streaming potential, and rejection with variation of pH. The effects of attaching four different types of gelatin to the membrane were studied. Assessment was made of modifications for improvement of flux and selectivity in the presence of protein foulants.
