Separation of polysaccharides from industrial syrup using tubular membranes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The mass-transfer plot and gel-polarization aging of a number of tubular membranes made of hydrophilic polymers, ceramic, and sintered stainless steel was compared under their recommended operating temperature, transmembrane pressure, shear velocity, and cycle time for the separation of polysaccharides from composite industrial syrup. The results showed that more than 98% of the polysaccharides that correlate with the turbidity in the syrups were separated from the syrups. At the same time, the purity of the syrup was increased by up to 3% after membrane ultrafiltration. The comparison clearly showed that there were distinct differences in performance between different tubular membranes. Copyright © Taylor & Francis, Inc.
