This work investigates influence of different process parameters such as
transmembrane pressure, flow rate and concentration of wheat starch
suspension on the average permeate flux and permeate flux decline. Used
membrane in all experiments was 19 channels ceramic membrane with 0.2 μm pore
size. Experimental results were analyzed using response surface methodology.
It is observed that the significant average permeate flux enhancement of 200%
was achieved by the increase of the transmembrane pressure, while the
increase of flow rate and concentration affected the increase in average
permeate flux in the range of 40-100%. Permeate flux decline was almost
independent of the transmembrane pressure, but the increase of the flow rate,
as well as the decrease of the concentration led to decrease of permeate flux
decline in the range of 20-50%.
Keywords: cross-flow microfiltration, starch suspension, full factorial design, response surface methodology
