the pomegranate juice with high nutritional value has turbid appearance that makes it difficult to preserve and concentrate. microfiltration is useful process which can clarify it. one of the most important problems in this process is fouling phenomenon which affected by several parameters. the effects of fluid velocity, transmembrane pressure, membrane type and its pore size on membrane foulin...

the conditions for the refinement of clarified sugarcane juice, including temperature (50o, 60o and 70oc) and pressure (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 bars) by micro-filtration membrane technology were investigated. the raw sugarcane juice was initially pre-filtrated with lime and then the juice obtained (clarified juice) processed using a ceramic micro-filter mem-brane (0.2 micrometer). the characteristics...
