Influence of heat pretreatment on ultrafiltration of a solution containing hemicelluloses extracted from wheat bran
(2013) In Separation and Purification Technology 119. p.46-50- Abstract
- Hemicelluloses extracted from wheat bran can be concentrated and purified by ultrafiltration. However,
the viscosity of the process solution is rather high (about 5 mPa s at 80 C and a shear rate of 100 s1),
which results in a relatively low flux. The solution was subjected to heat pretreatment in an attempt
to decrease the viscosity and increase the flux. Pretreatment of the solution at 80 C for 72 h was found
to reduce the viscosity by 25%. The flux during ultrafiltration with a 10 kDa ceramic membrane increased
from 48 l/m2 h, for the untreated solution, to 62 l/m2 h. The increase in flux was lower than expected, and
this was attributed to the formation of a fouling layer of... (More) - Hemicelluloses extracted from wheat bran can be concentrated and purified by ultrafiltration. However,

this was attributed to the formation of a fouling layer of acid-insoluble compounds on the membrane.
Both hemicelluloses and lignin were partly degraded. The retention of lignin was reduced from about
30% to 18%, whereas the retention of hemicelluloses was above 95%, and was not affected by heat pretreatment.
The decrease in lignin retention after heat pretreatment results in improved separation of
hemicelluloses and lignin, facilitating the purification of hemicelluloses. (Less)
