Alumina Ceramic Membrane Incorporated With Graphene Oxide Frameworks For Protein Recovery, Ishak Noor Fauziyah Aug 2020

Alumina Ceramic Membrane Incorporated With Graphene Oxide Frameworks For Protein Recovery, Ishak Noor Fauziyah

Student Works (2020-2029)

Alumina ceramic membrane is undergoing rapid development and innovation for protein recovery process. However, the limitation of this membrane type is membrane fouling due to the deposition and adsorption of proteins on the surface and pore walls of the membranes. It is crucial to minimize membrane fouling by reducing interactions between protein and the membrane surface via surface modification technique. Thus, the main objective of this research is to develop an alumina membrane with enhanced antifouling property for protein recovery process. An alumina dope consisting of 57 wt.% alumina loading was used to fabricate two alumina membrane configurations; which are …


Membrane Ultrafiltration Of Treated Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Pome), Pui Wah Wong Jan 2002

Membrane Ultrafiltration Of Treated Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Pome), Pui Wah Wong

Student Works (2000-2009)

The common practice for treatment of palm oil effluent (POME) in Malaysia employs a combination of aerobic and an anaerobic treatment. Bearing in mind that the quantity of POME produced is high, reaching 740 000 m3 in May 2001, reuse and recycling of treated POME can be an excellent practice in terms of saving of water resources. As the treated POME is already low in certain parameters required by the Department of Environment (i.e. BOD, total and ammoniacal nitrogen, oil and grease), further treatment will greatly enhance the water quality. The purpose of the advance treatment step is to allow …
