What is Recovery of Selected Microbial Metabolites from Model Solutions by Reverse Osmosis about?
Recovery of sodium citrate, gluconate, itaconate and lactate from aqueous solutions was studied batchwise in a pilot plant equipped with a thin-film composite spiral-wound reverse osmosis (RO) membrane by varying the feed input absolute pressure (P i ) from 31 to 61 bar at 40 • C. In all cases, flux decreased linearly with molar solute concentration, thus showing that osmotic pressure is the major resistance to overcome. After a discontinuous operation of 2.5 years, the overall membrane resistance resulted in being affected by membrane fouling, that represented about one-thirds of the intrinsic membrane resistance. Such a deposit was removed totally using a conventional chemical-based cleaning procedure.
