Polyphenolics and sugar are the components of many fruit juices. In this work, the performance of ultra-filtration (UF) for separating phenolic compounds from apple juice was studied by performing batch experiments in a membrane module with an area of 0.1 m and fitted with a regenerated cellulose membrane of 1 kDa MWCO. The effects of various operating conditions: transmembrane pressure (3, 4, ...

Permporometry IS a method by which the characterlstlcs of the mterconnectmg ‘active’ pores of an ultrafiltration membrane can be measured It 1s these ‘active’ pores that are responsible for the actual membrane performance Apphcatlon of permporometry on different membrane types, including ceramic as well as polymeric membranes, shows that the method can provide obJectwe mformatlon on the ‘active...

Ultra- and nanofiltrations are utilized for the separation of polymers proteins. In this study, we have investigated application MgAl2O4 membrane produced by aerosol deposition (AD) method a polymer. A ultrafiltration on porous Al2O3 support layer was with intentionally leaving nano-sized pores instead completely dense membrane. The filtration performance removing 1 million molecular-weight pol...

Membrane processes have been successfully employed for treatment of a large number of industrial effluents. Reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) are versatile separation and purification tools for the process industries. Both of these techniques are based on the ability of pressure-driven filtration membranes to separate multi-component fluids based on molecular size, shape, and chemic...

Crossflow filtration techniques (microand ultrafiltration), using inorganic membranes, were employed to clarify apple juice. Changes in the polyphenol composition (procyanidins, hydroxycinnamic derivatives, and dihydrochalcones) were monitored throughout the clarification process by means of a simple and reliable HPLC procedure. A factorial repeated measures design was constructed to ascertain ...

In this study, the effect of ultrasound irradiation on the flux recovery and fouling mitigation for the membranes made of the polysulfone by the phase inversion method were investigated. Two ultrasound irradiation regimes, including inside and outside the module, were chosen for this study. The experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of ultrasound irradiation on the membrane struct...
