Ultrafiltration Based Process for the Recovery of Polysaccharides and Polyphenols from Winery Effluents

Winery effluents have a high pollution potential, especially those effluents that are obtained from the second racking. However, these effluents are rich in phenolic compounds and polysaccharides and can be potential sources for the recovery of these compounds. Therefore, a process was developed in this study to reduce the pollution potential of the winery effluents from the second racking and to recover the polyphenols and polysaccharides from the effluents by utilizing ultrafiltration (UF) and sedimentation operations. The sedimentation was optimized by varying the pH from 3.8 to 8.0, while the UF experiments were optimized by varying the transmembrane pressure from 0.5 to 4.0 bar and the feed circulation velocity from 0.44 to 0.87 ms^?1. This process provided a permeate stream with a reduction in the TOC content by 56.6%, while the polyphenols and the polysaccharides in the concentrate stream were concentrated by 6 times and 5 times, respectively.     

聚酰亚胺纳滤膜分离螺旋霉素萃取液

研究了不同操作条件对聚酰亚胺纳滤膜分离螺旋霉素一乙酸丁酯萃取液性能的影响。考察了操作压力、温度、进料流量和进料中螺旋霉素质量浓度等因素对膜通量和截留率的影响,并观察了长期运行情况下膜分离性能的变化情况。在适宜的操作条件下,膜通量可达20L/（m^2·h）以上,截留率可达99％以上。试验表明,随操作压力增大、温度升高和进料流量增大,膜通量也随之增大,进料中螺旋霉素质量浓度增加使膜通量减小,不同操作条件对截留率的影响很小。在35d的运行期内膜的分离性能变化不大,表明该膜对此物系具有较强的抗污染能力。

Modeling of Nanofiltration Process for Solvent Recovery from Aqueous Ethanol Solution of Soybean Isoflavones

Abstract

In this paper, the feasibility of recovering the solvent from the aqueous ethanol solution of soybean isoflavones with nanofiltration (NF) was studied. Five commercially available polymeric NF membranes were employed and STARMEM? 122 showed acceptable flux and high retention. The central composite design (CCD) of the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to model the effects of temperature, pressure, and feed concentration on the permeate flux and the total soybean isoflavone retention. The results indicate that the developed models were in good agreement with the experimental results and they can be used to predict this NF process.     

Effect of Color and Surfactants on Nanofiltration for the Recovery of Carpet Printing Wastewaters

Abstract

Carpet printing wastewater (CPW) was spiked with metal‐complex dyes at concentrations of 10 and 30 mg/L to investigate the effect of feed color on separation performance of nanofiltration (NF). The rejection was excellent; 98–100% for color and COD under all spiking conditions. Although the flux decline increased with increasing dye concentration, the concentration polarization was the main cause of the flux decline. The effect of surfactants on NF separation performance was also investigated by preparing synthetic wastewaters with dyes and auxiliary chemicals. The presence of a non‐ionic penetrant did not adversely affect the color rejection whereas the COD rejection was reduced from 100% to 91%. Furthermore, fouling became dominant when surfactants were used.

Modification of Low Molecular Weight Polysaccharides from Tremella Fuciformis and Their Antioxidant Activity in Vitro

In this study, sulfated low molecular-weight Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (SLTP) with different sulfate contents were synthesized and their antioxidant activities, including superoxide anion radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were investigated. The results indicated that, compared to natural Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide (TP) and low molecular weight Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide (LTP), sulfated LTP (SLTP) exhibited stronger scavenging activity towards superoxide anion, DPPH and hydroxyl radicals. In all the cases the effect was found to be dose dependent. The scavenging activity of SLTP was found to be in parallel with the degree of sulfation of SLTP.     

A Two-Step Nanofiltration Process for the Production of Phenolic-Rich Fractions from Artichoke Aqueous Extracts

Commercial nanofiltration (NF) membranes in spiral-wound configuration (NP030 from Microdyn Nadir and Desal DK from GE Water & Process Technologies) were used in a sequential design in order to produce a separated fraction of phenolic and sugar compounds from an aqueous artichoke extract. For both membranes, the effect of transmembrane pressure (TMP) on the permeation flux was evaluated. In optimized conditions of TMP, the NP030 membrane exhibited high rejections of apigenin, cynarin and chlorogenic acid (higher than 85%); on the other hand, very low rejections of fructose, glucose and sucrose (lower than 4%) were measured. Starting from an extract with a total antioxidant activity (TAA) of 5.28 mM trolox a retentate fraction with a TAA of 47.75 mM trolox was obtained. The NF permeate from the NP030 membrane was processed with the Desal DK membrane in optimized conditions of TMP producing a permeate stream free of phenolic and sugar compounds. Accordingly, as most part of phenolic compounds was removed in the first NF step, the concentration of sugar compounds in the NF retentate had much higher results than that of phenolic compounds.

Separation and Recovery of Low Molecular Weight Organic Acids by Emulsion Liquid Membranes

Abstract

Emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) extraction of low molecular weight organic acids resulting from whey fermentations was investigated. Rates of removal of lactic, acetic, propionic, and acrylic acids decreased as pH and concentration were increased. An ELM process for selective removal of acrylic acid from acrylic acid-propionic acid mixtures was developed through incorporation of a co-solvent (cyclohexanone) in the membrane phase of the emulsion. Degree of removal for each acid and, hence, selectivity among the acids appears to be determined by the water-membrane phase partition coefficient.

Molecular Weight Distribution of Low Molecular Weight Polyols Derived from Fatty Acid Methyl Esters

A series of commercial polyether polyols with well-defined molecular weights (MW) was used along with propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol as gel permeation chromatography (GPC) calibration standards to determine the MW and oligomeric composition of the synthesized low MW fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) polyols, having an MW of lower than 600 Da. This GPC analysis was compared to the one calibrated against the commercially-available polystyrene (PS) standards and to the number-average molecular weight (M _n) obtained via vapor pressure osmometry (VPO) technique. The MW of FAME polyols obtained with GPC calibrated against polyether polyols were closer to the M _n values obtained via VPO than the MW obtained via GPC calibrated against PS standards. Using the reliable GPC calibration, the MW distribution and the hydroxyl functionality of FAME polyols were determined with greater confidence.     

Concentration and Drying of Tea Polyphenols Extracted from Green Tea Using Molecular Distillation and Spray Drying

The purpose of this study was to develop a method of combining molecular distillation and spray drying to concentrate and dry tea polyphenols extracts. Molecular distillation and spray drying of tea phenols extracts were performed using an orthogonal array design. The order of importance that influenced molecular distillation was distillation temperature > flux > rotational speed. The optimal conditions for concentration by molecular distillation were 70°C distillation temperature, 10 mL/min flux, and 1,200 n/min rotational speed. Inlet temperature was found to be the most important determinant of spray drying. The order of importance that influenced the spray drying was inlet temperature > feed flux > wind capacity > feed concentration. The optimal conditions for drying of tea polyphenols extracts by spray drying were determined as follows: 170°C distillation temperature, 3 mL/min feed flux, 30% feed concentration, and 30 m³/h wind capacity. Results of this study indicated that the combination of molecular distillation and spray drying was very suitable for the concentration and drying of tea polyphenols extracts. Using this approach to process tea polyphenol extracts can not only maintain the quality of tea polyphenols but also save time and energy.

Cathodic Decolourisation of Dyes in Concentrates from Nanofiltration and Printing Pastes

Direct cathodic reduction of dyes which contain an azo-goup in the chromophore was successfully used for decolourisation of intensively coloured concentrates from Nanofiltration treatment of textile effluents. Based on laboratory scale experiments, a technical multi-cathode electrolyser was applied for full scale decolourisation experiments at cell currents from 40 to 80 A. The absorbance of the treated wastes decreased from 60 to 80% of the initial value at an energy consumption of 2–8 kWh m^–3. Experiments with addition of redox mediator indicate a significant increase in decolourisation rate; however chemical consumption is increased for 0.5–1.5 kg m^–3 of waste. The decolourisation of reactive dye containing printing pastes was also achieved at the laboratory scale, where decolourisation of 60–80% was achieved.
