Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 32Separation of Whey Components by Using Ceramic Composite Membranes(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Harsa, Hayriye ŞebnemCeramic supports were prepared from alumina powder and dip-coated with zirconia sol. The ceramic composite membranes prepared were characterized with respect to their microstructure/pore structures. The supports were 40% porous of which 87% were open pores. The average particle size of the sol particles was 35 nm. The prepared membrane has good protein lactose separation properties with a relatively high protein content (PR ∼80%) and with relatively low lactose retention (LR ∼7%). The permeate flux value was around 40 l/m2h. These results indicate the possibility of the preparation of ceramic composite membranes for separation of whey components with higher yields.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 11Permeation of Pure Gases Through Silica Membranes With Controlled Pore Structures(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Topuz, Berna; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinThe superior thermal/chemical/mechanical stability and the ability of ceramic membranes in affecting the transport rates of chemical species through their processing controllable pore structures make them very attractive for many separation problems. Highly selective microporous silica membranes with high fluxes could be prepared by sol–gel dip coating processes [1]. The structure of the thin silica layer mainly depends on the size and the shape of the silicalite polymers and their packing behavior during drying and heat treatment. Design of the pore networks has a great importance to decide the transport properties through the membrane since permeation and the permselectivity are mainly determined by the microstructure of the membrane such as pore size and distribution, porosity as well as the interaction of permeating species with pore walls.
