Protein and Lactose Separation by Modified Ultrafiltration Membrane using Layer by Layer Technique
Authors
Abstract:
Layer-by-Layer (LbL) is a method which can be used for nanoscale coating and surface functionalization of a material. LbL technique mainly uses the electrostatic attracting between charged materials (polyelectrolytes, nanoparticles, etc.) and an oppositely charged surface. In this study, protein separation (BSA) from lactose solution was carried out using the LbL self-assembly method, which was used to produce a polyelectrolyte (PE) nanofiltration membrane. The impact of number of dual layers of PE and pH of solution on the retention of BSA and lactose was systematically investigated. For separation experiments, the BSA and lactose were used as a model protein and disaccharide sugars, respectively. Maximum retentions of 10.7% lactose and 100% BSA were achieved by the PE nanofiltration membrane with six bilayers at pH 6.5. Moreover, whey was used for the real filtration application, and the retention of fat, protein, and lactose were 100%, 98%, and 15%, respectively. The results showed that the separation of protein and lactose from the mixed solution could be achieved by PE nanofiltration membrane using the LbL method.

Eukaryotic subcellular membrane systems, such as the nuclear envelope or endoplasmic reticulum, present a rich array of architecturally and compositionally complex supramolecular targets that are as yet inaccessible.

Superoleophobic surfaces are of interest for anti-fouling, self-cleaning, anti-smudge, low-drag, anti-fog, and oil-water separation applications. Current bioinspired surfaces are of limited use due to a lack of mechanical durability. A so-called layer-by-layer approach, involving charged species with electrostatic interactions between layers, can provide the flexibility needed to improve adhesi...

Retention characteristics of UF membranes are de— lineated through comparison of the combined viscous flow and frictional model with the Ferry—Faxen equation. The molecular weight cut—off concept is discussed using calculations of how sharp cut-off curves one can expect of UF membranes with uniform pore sizes and how heteroporosity will affect such curves. Experimental retention—flux curves for...

We report our experience with Gnathostoma protein preparation by the ultrafiltration method. Crude antigen was sonicated and ultrafiltrated using the Nanosep 100 K membrane. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis showed protein bands at 43, 41, 24, 22, 21, 19.5 kDa. Use of the ultrafiltration method can provide specific protein (24 kDa), similar to the non-ultrafiltration method, with the other 5 non-specifi...

A layer-by layer technique was successfully used to obtain collagen/hydroxyapatite-magnetite-cisplatin (COLL/HAn-Fe3O4-CisPt, n=1-7) composite materials with a variable content of hydroxyapatite intended for use in the treatment of bone cancer. The main advantages of this system are the possibility of controlling the rate of delivery of cytostatic agents, the presence of collagen and hydroxyapa...
