“…At the third stage (60-180 min), the flux changed slightly with time and reached to a steady state. The same phenomenon was reported in apple juice and syrup filtration (Li et al, 2016;Vladisavljevic et al, 2003).…”

“…Based on this model, the total resistances are often divided into four parts including concentration polarization resistance ( R cp ), cake resistance ( R c ), inner fouling resistance ( R if ), and membrane resistance ( R m ). The specific value of the fouling resistance and the percentage in the total resistance are calculated separately to investigate the dominant resistance (Juang, Chen, & Chen, ; Li et al, ; Wang et al, ). In raw soy sauce clarification, R cp was found to be the dominated fouling resistance.…”

Microfiltration (MF) is a promising technology in soy sauce clarification. However, serious membrane fouling always lead to high operation costs, which restrict the application of the microfiltration technology. In this study, a spiral wound polyvinylidene fluoride membrane was used to explore the influences of processing conditions on membrane fouling mechanisms under total recycle mode in pilot scale. Results showed that the permeate soy sauce nearly preserved the whole nutrition and flavor substances, and the turbidity values remained below 2 NTU during 6 months' room temperature storage. Cake layer and concentration polarization resistance dominated the fouling resistances, which were influenced by operating conditions significantly. A semi‐empirical mathematical model was further proposed to quantitatively describe these influences. The predicted values of the model were consistent with the experimental data with a deviation about 10%. This is helpful for the application of membrane technology in soy sauce clarification process. Practical applications Microfiltration provides soy sauce products with superior clarity. Meanwhile, it keeps most of the flavor and nutrition substances. The aim of this study is to clarify the membrane fouling mechanisms and reducing the membrane fouling in soy sauce clarification. The fouling resistance was analyzed to investigate the influences on membrane fouling under different operating parameters. The novel proposed mathematical model could be used to predict the permeate flux and describe the filtration status under different operating parameters. This study provides a theoretical basis in reducing the membrane fouling for process optimization in soy sauce microfiltration clarification. Moreover, it helps to improve the product quality and production efficiency in soy sauce microfiltration industrial application.

“…On the other hand, if the interaction between the polymer and solvent is strong, i.e. good solvent, the size of the binodal is relatively small and an L-L separation region is not observed in the TIPS plane (plane 1 and 3), which is the case with the PVDF/NMP system [3].…”

“…The market share for MF and UF membranes is nearly half of the membrane market [2] with a wide application spectrum covering food and dairy industries, wastewater treatment, hemodialysis, and RO pretreatment [3,4]. MF and UF are pressuredriven processes where the morphology of the membrane plays a critical role in determining the final performance (flux and selectivity).…”

“…Microfiltration is a method of choice and is very well-established process for industrial applications where particles of a size greater than 0.1 microns have to be retained from a mixed solution. Examples (Table 2) include sterilization and clarification of numerous different genres of mixtures and solutions, in the food, feed and pharmaceutical industry which until recently were the main industrial applications [75]. MF is gaining great grounds in the water and wastewater industry, focusing in removing particles from water and wastewater, in sewage treatment but also in several other types of industries such as semiconductor fabrication that generate heavily polluted wastewater that needs extensive treatment due to toxic substances and metals [63].…”

Ceramic Microfiltration Membranes in Wastewater Treatment: Filtration Behavior, Fouling and Prevention

Nowadays, integrated microfiltration (MF) membrane systems treatment is becoming widely popular due to its feasibility, process reliability, commercial availability, modularity, relative insensitivity in case of wastewater of various industrial sources as well as raw water treatment and lower operating costs. The well thought out, designed and implemented use of membranes can decrease capital cost, reduce chemical usage, and require little maintenance. Due to their resistance to extreme operating conditions and cleaning protocols, ceramic MF membranes are gradually becoming more employed in the drinking water and wastewater treatment industries when compared with organic and polymeric membranes. Regardless of their many advantages, during continuous operation these membranes are susceptible to a fouling process that can be detrimental for successful and continuous plant operations. Chemical and microbial agents including suspended particles, organic matter particulates, microorganisms and heavy metals mainly contribute to fouling, a complex multifactorial phenomenon. Several strategies, such as chemical cleaning protocols, turbulence promoters and backwashing with air or liquids are currently used in the industry, mainly focusing around early prevention and treatment, so that the separation efficiency of MF membranes will not decrease over time. Other strategies include combining coagulation with either inorganic or organic coagulants, with membrane treatment which can potentially enhance pollutants retention and reduce membrane fouling.
