Yeast invertase was co-reticulated with glutaraldehyde to bovine serum albumin to give a soluble bound enzyme that was immobilized as a tightly adhering layer on the active surface of an ultrafiltration membrane. The Michaelis constant and stability of this immobilized-enzyme system are compared with those of the enzyme either in the native form or immobilized as a dynamically formed gel layer on an ultrafiltration membrane, as previously described by us [Drioli, Gianfreda, Palescandolo & Scardi (1975) Biotechnol, Bioeng, 17, 1365-1367].

The new EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive requires stricter limits introducing quaternary treatments and poses significant challenges to achieving a sustainable environment. Advanced membrane-based treatment processes combined with mathematical models can be a good solution for facing the challenges above. Most existing literature on membrane filtration models primarily focuses on membrane bioreactors, lacking mechanistic models on ultrafiltration (UF) membranes.

The high salt content and color are regarded as a major challenge to the reuse of industrial wastewater. In the present study, the application of cellulose acetate reverse osmosis (RO) membrane in combination with microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), or nanofiltration (NF) process was investigated in the purification of biological and Fenton treated pulp and paper wastewater. In the first step, the effect of pH and inlet pressures on the membrane fouling was investigated.

Low performance and the high fouling tendency of Polyetherimide (PEI) membranes prevent their widespread commercial utility. In this study, we utilized a deep eutectic solvent (DES) as a versatile agent for surface modification of the PEI membrane using a simple and sustainable method. To attain an efficient PEI membrane, modeling and optimization of the modification condition were conducted via response surface methodology (RSM).

The remarkable flexibility in structural tunability and designability of poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) has garnered significant attention. Integration of PILs with membranes, novel properties, and functionalities is anticipated for applications in the fields of membrane separation. Here, we develop a facile method to prepare PIL-functionalized membranes in a one-step process by combining selective swelling-induced pore generation and ionic liquid functionalization.
