Membrane separation technology mainly uses nanofiltration membranes with a molecular weight cut-off of 100 to 1000 Dal in the concentration and purification process. The main feature of nanofiltration membranes is that the retention performance of divalent ions, functional sugars, small molecule pigments, peptides and other substances is higher than 98%, and for some monovalent ions, small molecule acids and bases, alcohols, etc., it has 30-50%. Its permeability is often used in the separation, purification, and concentration processes of solute classification, elution of low-molecular substances in solution, adjustment of ionic components, and concentration of solution systems.
Nanofiltration membrane separation technology is often used to replace traditional processes such as freeze-drying, thin-film evaporation, ion exchange desalination, resin process concentration, and neutralization. Source: Guteng Water Network
The main membrane modules that can be used in the concentration and purification technology are: roll membrane and tubular membrane.
The advantages of concentration and purification using nanofiltration membrane separation technology:
1), extremely low energy consumption, saving the cost of the concentration process;
2) There is no chemical reaction, no phase change in the process, no other impurities and no decomposition and denaturation of the product;
3), achieve the purpose of concentration and purification at room temperature, without causing damage to the active ingredients, and the process yield is high;
4), can completely remove the salt of the product, reduce the ash content of the product, and improve the purity of the product;
5) Acid, alkali, alcohol and other substances in the solution can be recovered;
6), the equipment structure is simple and compact, and the floor space is small;
7) Easy operation, automatic operation, good stability and easy maintenance.
