Membrane ultrafiltration of crude soybean oil

Non-Dissolved Solids Removal During Palm Kernel Oil Ultrafiltration

“…Membrane can be used in degumming process (Subramanian et al, 1999, Alicieo et al, 2002, Hafidi et al, 2005, Ribiero et al, 2008. Other studies also evaluate about membrane flux behavior of several vegetable oils (Manjula et al, 2011, Alicieo et al, 2002, deacidification (Firman et al, 2013), decolorization (Reddy, 2001), and pigment concentration from the oil .…”

Degumming of corn oil/hexane miscella using a ceramic membrane

“…Some studies reported in the recent literature describe the successful application of membranes in the degumming of miscellas of crude vegetable oil/hexane (Kim et al, 2002;García et al, 2006) or of desolventized crude oil (Koris and Vatai, 2002;Aliciero et al, 2002). Due to the high viscosity of the oil, the permeate flux is greater for miscellas (crude oil/hexane) than for the pure crude oil (Reddy et al, 2001;Moura et al, 2005).…”

“…Several investigations (Bhanushali et al, 2001(Bhanushali et al, , 2002 have looked into aspects related to the stability and resistance of polymeric membranes in contact with solvents, and have shown that the ultrafiltration and nanofiltration of vegetable oil miscellas are technically viable. Despite the majority of mineral membranes being chemically inert, they have been only rarely studied in the degumming of vegetable oil in the form of miscellas (Aliciero et al, 2002;Wu and Lee, 1999).…”

Fouling of polymeric membranes during degumming of crude sunflower and soybean oil

“…Different research teams have applied membrane technology to perform the degumming of oil-hexane miscella (Alicieo, Mendes, Pereira, & Motta Lima, 2002;Kim, Kim, Lee, & Tak, 2002;Sen Gupta, 1977) as well as to that of crude oils without the addition of hexane (Subramanian & Nakajima, 1997;Subramanian et al, 2001). In this latter case the results are not of great interest due to the need of extreme operational conditions as a result of high oil viscosity and low permeability of assayed membranes.…”
