The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of dead-end ultrafiltration for the preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with narrow size polydispersity. Aspects as the reaction yield, purification, size-based fractionation, and fouling mechanisms were analyzed. AgNPs were synthesized by chemical reduction, and diafiltration experiments were performed by the washing method. Our results suggest that the cut-off size of the membrane can be used as a primary criterion to define the particle size in the permeate, and eliminate Ag+ from a colloidal dispersion of AgNPs by removing NPs with a size less than the exclusion limit of the membrane. In addition, it was evidenced that ultrafiltration is not an effective method for elimination of AgNPs from aqueous effluents or for exact determination of reaction yield. In the prediction of Jo, the lowest error was obtained for the cake formation (7.6% and J(0)=1.36 x 10(-2) m/s) followed by internal and intermediate pore blocking models with 32.5 (J0=9.91 x 10-3 m/s) and 29.1% (J(0)=1.04 x 10(-2) m/s), respectively. Cake formation was identified to be the main fouling mechanism associated with the filtration of the AgNP colloidal dispersion. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
