This paper considers some results of using tangential filtration by ceramic membrane elements for the treatment of whey. Five samples of filtrate which was obtained by four different ceramic membranes were used for experiment. These membranes have pore size 400, 200, 100, 65 and 50 nm. A semi-empirical model for the evaluation of protein retention during tangential filtration of whey using ceramic membrane elements is discussed in more detail below. The optimal membrane pore size for specified applications has been determined on the base of the proposed model. Results of the work could be used in the calculation of filtration equipment to improve the efficiency of dairy production and neutralize their waste water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
