Question: It is required to concentrate a protein solution ( MW = 1 2 1 3 ) by batch ultrafiltration from 1 4 kg / m

It is required to concentrate a protein solution (MW =1213) by batch ultrafiltration from 14 kg/m3 to 84 kg/m3 concentration. The feed volume is 800 gallons and the batch time is two hours. Membrane fouling and the effect of concentration polarization can be ignored for simplicity. The unit is to operate at AP =3 bar and a rejection coefficient of 0.97 can be achieved. The membrane admits of a pure water flux of 11.5 gal/ft- h at this pressure difference. (Hint: Membrane area for batch UF, equation IT = CRT).
A) Write about Ultra filtration? (Understanding)
B) Draw a configuration of UF modules? (Remembering)
C)Illustrate applications of UF.(Applying)
C) Estimate the required membrane area? (Evaluation)
