“…This indicates the elimination of pulp, fiber, and carotenoid pigments by MF, which also directly contributes to the flux decline. The retention of carotenoid by MF was also reported by a previous study clarifying grapefruit juice (Rouquié et al, 2019). In tests using Java tea and sappan wood extracts, the flux decline was less severe than in the other extracts.…”

The applicability of microfiltration (MF) and osmotic membrane distillation (OMD) for sterilization and concentration of traditional functional drink constituents, such as Curcuma xanthorrhiza, ginger, lime, Java tea, and sappan wood extracts, was evaluated in this study. MF showed excellent performance in microorganisms elimination, turbidity reduction, and maintaining antihyperglycemic activity performance. However, a reduction of total phenol and antioxidant activity were observed due to the retention by MF. Fouling in MF was challenging and resulted in rapid flux decline. The concentration of sterilized extracts by OMD operation resulted in a concentration factor of 1.15, 1.13, 1.10, 1.24, and 1.24 for ginger, lime, C. xanthorrhiza, Java tea, and sappan wood, respectively. The active compounds were well preserved, with a maximum of 20% reduction compared to sterilized extracts. Despite insignificant foulant deposition, the OMD flux in tests using C. xanthorrhiza, ginger, and lime as the feed decreased over time, indicating reduced driving force.Practical applicationsThe application of membrane technology for juices and liquid foods sterilization and concentration has been widely researched. In this research, we evaluated the performance of MF and OMD for the sterilization and concentration of traditional functional drinks. The results indicated that the functional drink can be sterilized by MF with excellent preservation of the active compounds, such as those responsible for the antihyperglycemic and antioxidant activities. The OMD could also concentrate the traditional functional drink, even though concentration polarization posed a challenge to flux stability. The degradation of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of the concentrated traditional functional drink was at a minimal value, indicating the promising application of MF and OMD. We believe this article provides new and exciting insights to push forward the sterilization and concentration process in industrial scale.

“…The hydrodynamic resistance being low, such membranes require low hydrostatic pressures for a high contaminant rejection and solvent flux [6]. Nevertheless, the wide range of pore size enables MF to find applications across many areas including but not limited to pharmaceuticals [7], wastewater treatment [8], food [9], desalination [2] and biotechnology [10].…”

Since its inception in the 19 th century, microfiltration (MF) has evolved as a membrane-based separation technology for treating various effluents and wastewaters. This review aims to familiarize its readers with general and specific research trends on various topics in MF. The level of research interest has been measured by the number of publications in that area for each year. An increasing research trend was observed from the number of publications since 2009 to 2018 with MF as the major topic. During the past decade, MF articles have spanned in about 150 different journals, with The Journal of Membrane Science, Desalination and Separation and Purification Technology being the major ones. Major topics of interest include membrane fabrication and modification, waste water treatment and fouling studies, while a significant research increase was seen in various fabrication methods and MF application in the food sector. MF modeling still remains a topic which needs further research output, and has experienced a decline over the past years. Several potential research areas are also identified in this review which will help future researchers to materialize their efforts into the right direction.

“…The hydrodynamic resistance being low, such membranes require low hydrostatic pressures for a high contaminant rejection and solvent flux [ 103 ]. One of the advantages of MF over other membrane processes is its applicability across numerous areas—including but not limited to pharmaceuticals [ 104 ], wastewater treatment [ 105 ], food [ 106 ], desalination [ 107 ], and biotechnology [ 108 ] due to their wide range of pore sizes, and it can be operated at low pressure. The enhancement of the MF membrane performance is usually focused on the improvement of the membrane’s permeability, selectivity, resistance to fouling, and cost reduction.…”

Lignocellulosic Biomass-Derived Nanocellulose Crystals as Fillers in Membranes for Water and Wastewater Treatment: A Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The improvement of membrane applications for wastewater treatment has been a focal point of research in recent times, with a wide variety of efforts being made to enhance the performance, integrity and environmental friendliness of the existing membrane materials. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are sustainable nanomaterials derived from microorganisms and plants with promising potential in wastewater treatment. Cellulose nanomaterials offer a satisfactory alternative to other environmentally harmful nanomaterials. However, only a few review articles on this important field are available in the open literature, especially in membrane applications for wastewater treatment. This review briefly highlights the circular economy of waste lignocellulosic biomass and the isolation of CNCs from waste lignocellulosic biomass for membrane applications. The surface chemical functionalization technique for the preparation of CNC-based materials with the desired functional groups and properties is outlined. Recent uses of CNC-based materials in membrane applications for wastewater treatment are presented. In addition, the assessment of the environmental impacts of CNCs, cellulose extraction, the production techniques of cellulose products, cellulose product utilization, and their end-of-life disposal are briefly discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for the development of CNC from waste biomass for application in wastewater treatment are discussed extensively. Finally, this review unraveled some important perceptions on the prospects of CNC-based materials, especially in membrane applications for the treatment of wastewater.
