Composite membranes for dialysis were prepared by a Loeb-Sourirajan (L-S) phase inversion process. Bovine serum albumin was chose to replace the human serum albumin for researching. Then the flux attenuation coefficient and the protein absorption of the dialysis membrane was calculated and tested in order to reflect the effect of cellulose nanofibers on the anti-fouling performance of membrane. Finally, four methods of membrane cleaning were compared and an integrated approach was suggested.
