Abstract

Cellulose acetate membranes have been prepared by varying from 15 to 20 wt. % with increment of 1 wt. % using N,N¢-dimethyl formamide as the solvent. The 2.5 wt. % of pore forming agent, polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG 600) was also added. Prepared membranes have been subjected to ultrafiltration characterizations such as compaction, pure water flux, water content, membrane hydraulic resistance and morphological studies. The porosity and pore size of the membranes also increased as the addition of PEG. The effects of cellulose acetate content and additive PEG in casting solution, pressure on concentration of clarified juice are studied. Good correlations have been found between the dextran flux and sugar solution reduction due to adsorption and for bound dextran on the cellulose acetate membranes with respect to time. The 15 wt. % of cellulose acetate and 2.5 wt. % of PEG in same cellulose acetate achieved high flux and higher retention for dextran and sugar solution.
