Ultrafiltration is a well-known water purification process wherein water is passed through a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane holds large solutes and suspended solids while allowing smaller solutes with low molecular weight and water to move to the permeate side. This technique is used before reverse osmosis as pre-treatment to remove particulates and other substances that [...]

Herbal and natural products refer to compounds present in nature with unique pharmacological applications. Natural medicines made from these products have been used for many years for the prevention and cure of a range of human diseases. To this day, they play an important role in drug development.  But, the extraction of natural medicines to [...]

Membrane filtration is an efficient method for bioseparations for its multiple benefits, such as product sterilization, solute removal, product concentration, purification, and solute fractionation.  Membranes, being semi-permeable, catch or restrict heavier molecules while allowing the smaller ones to pass through. They are of different sizes and are used appropriately in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. [...]

Membrane separation is an intricate technology that separates materials through minuscule gaps or pores with the help of pressure. This process involves selective filtration and has a wide range of applications, especially in water purification. Depending on the pore size and the pressure applied, membrane separation may be classified as the following: Microfiltration: Membranes used [...]
