The micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) was studied for the removal of heavy metals using a mixture of non-ionic surfactant TWEEN-80 and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The gel polarization model and resistance-in-series model were used to estimate the mass transfer coefficient (3 x 10-6 m/s) and the permeate flux. The total metal ion concentration was varied from 1 mM-4 mM and the corresponding effect of the trans-membrane pressure and limiting fluxes were studied. The modified resistance-in-series model was applied to these experimental data to correlate the flux with the feed concentration and applied pressure.
