Abstract

Microfiltration polypropylene (MPP) membrane has increasingly been used in separation processes due to its good chemical and mechanical stability, high selectivity to submicron particles, and low cost. In this paper, the MPP membrane was modified by coating the surface with a composite polysulfone (PSf)/PEG400/ZnO layer. Then, the modified MPP membrane was used for fine particle removal from air. Performance of modified MPP membrane as a function of polymer and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) concentration in coating solution, and coating time, was investigated. The SEM image showed that the presence of ZnO-NPs in polymer solution generated macrovoids in the coating layer. Permeate flux decreased with increasing polymer and ZnO-NPs concentration, but the flux increased with increasing coating time. Meanwhile, fine particle removal efficiency increased with the increase of operating pressure. A stable air flux of 19 L m-2 h-1 was obtained at ZnO-NPs concentration of 3 wt.%. The removal efficiency of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 at operating pressure of 2 bar were 70%, 74%, and 70%, respectively.

Abstract

Ultrafiltration membrane has been widely used for several applications due to their high separation capacity, high selectivity, and low operating pressure. In this work, solutes diffusion through polyvinyl alcohol/polyallylamine ultrafiltration membrane was investigated. The membrane was prepared by phase inversion method with glutaraldehyde as crosslinking agent. Meanwhile, NaCl and CaCl2 were used as solutes, either as a single or double solute. The results showed that the increase of polyallylamine concentration led to the increase of membrane swelling degree. For both single and double solutes, diffusion of Na+ and Ca2+ were slightly decreased with the increase of swelling degree. However in double solute diffusion, there was interaction between Na+, Ca2+, and membrane that made Na+ ions moved faster and Ca2+ ions moved slower compared to single solute diffusion. In addition, the increase of solute concentration led to the increase of Na+ diffusion coefficient and the decrease of Ca2+ diffusion coefficient.

Abstract

This review comprehensively explores the application of Forward Osmosis technology in the food processing industry, focusing on its role in concentration processes. Amidst growing concerns over water scarcity, energy consumption, and environmental impact, Forward Osmosis emerges as a sustainable alternative to traditional methods, offering lower energy requirements and reduced environmental footprint. The paper delves into the theoretical foundations of Forward Osmosis, examining the osmotic process and the dynamics of semi-permeable membranes. It further investigates the technological implementations of Forward Osmosis in food processing, showcasing successful case studies and highlighting the technology performance advantages compared to other methods. Despite its potential, Forward Osmosis faces technical challenges, including membrane fouling and the need for efficient draw solution recovery mechanisms. Recent innovations in membrane and draw solution development are discussed, offering solutions to these hurdles and paving the way for more effective Forward Osmosis applications. The review also projects future directions and research needs to overcome existing limitations and fully harness Forward Osmosis capabilities. Through a critical analysis of current literature, this paper underscores Forward Osmosis transformative potential in making food processing more sustainable and efficient.

Abstract

This work presents the synthesis and characterization of heterogeneous cation-exchange membranes based on polypropylene (PP) and cation-exchange resin (IER) powder, developed via melt spinning. The membranes were modified with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles functionalized with polydopamine (PDA) to enhance their electrochemical properties. The effects of varying IER content and ZnO/PDA loading on key membrane properties, including ion-exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake (WU), water contact angle (WCA), proton conductivity, water permeability, and vanadium permeability, were systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that increasing IER content improved proton conductivity and IEC, but also increased vanadium permeability. The PP/ZnO-PDA (Z-2.5) membrane, with 2.5%-wt. ZnO/PDA, showed reduced water permeability (0.46 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹·bar⁻¹) and vanadium permeability (5.67 × 10⁻⁵ cm² min⁻¹), while maintaining moderate proton conductivity (13.17 mS/cm). However, increasing ZnO/PDA content beyond 2.5%-wt. led to declines in WU, IEC, and proton conductivity, likely due to nanoparticle aggregation reducing access to ion-exchange sites.

Abstract

Today, facing difficult environmental and sustainability questions, the palm oil industry is an important force in global trade and development. As a transformative solution to these problems, this review assesses the implementation of circular economy (CE) strategies. CE principles promote the transformation of waste into value through recycling, upcycling and other low-carbon innovation applications. This review estimates the capability of palm-based biomass, including palm oil mill effluent (POME) and refinery wastes. It evaluates how different technologies such as gasification are used to change these fuel sources into energy fuels and value-added products for industry. It also involves incorporating Industry 4.0 to boost efficiency and waste value creation into the operation. Although the potential of CE in creating an eco-friendly, profitable palm oil industry is apparent, nevertheless it must overcome all kinds and levels of barriers – from economic to technological to social. This review points out for collaborative efforts, technological advancement, and supportive policies to navigate these challenges, advocating for a unified shift towards sustainability and efficiency in the palm oil sector.
