Abstract:
Membranes are used for the concentration and purification of proteins (ultrafiltration) and for small molecule clearance (ultrafiltration/diafiltration). The membrane separation techniques that use regenerated cellulose membranes are applied in various domains. The aim of this study was to examine the ultrafiltration process on the rejection of the collagen protein using a tangential flow filtration, with flat regenerated cellulose membrane (5 kDa), evaluating permeate flows and physicochemical characteristics of the concentrates, permeates and feed solutions. Regenerated cellulose membranes UF processes performances to bovine serum albumin (BSA) separation are also reported.
