摘要： This invention relates to a multi-element membrane separator and separation method based on spiral-wound membrane elements. It includes a membrane housing, spiral-wound membrane elements, and baffles on both sides of the membrane housing, designed to secure the spiral-wound membrane elements. The permeate tubes of the spiral-wound membrane elements are connected to the openings in the perforated plates. Sealing rings are respectively provided at the connections of the permeate tubes and the perforated plate openings. This multi-element membrane separator enables a more compact arrangement of membrane elements, reducing the footprint of the membrane separation device. It also reduces the use of materials such as membrane housing, pipelines, and connecting fittings, thereby lowering equipment costs and the difficulty of membrane device assembly.

摘要： The present disclosure provides systems and methods for the recovery of protein species from wet mill grain process streams. Systems and methods of the present disclosure may be integrated with a wet mill grain process to separate out protein species that may limit efficiency of the grain process and produce one or more product streams comprising these separated protein species. A feed stream may be fractionated by at least two membranes into retentate and permeate streams. Removing larger proteins through the membrane fractionation may allow previously soluble prolamin products in the permeate stream(s) to precipitate. The recovered protein species may include prolamin, such as zein from a corn grain feed.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method of concentrating an aqueous solution at low pressure under a zero osmotic pressure difference condition, and more particularly, to a method of concentrating an aqueous solution containing a solute to be concentrated, at low pressure under a zero osmotic pressure difference condition. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: (a) discharging water of a solute-containing aqueous solution to be concentrated, from a reverse osmosis separator to the outside, and transferring the concentrated aqueous solution to a zero osmotic pressure difference concentrator; (b) further concentrating the concentrated aqueous solution using the zero osmotic pressure difference concentrator comprising a feed chamber and a draw chamber, which are separated from each other by a reverse osmosis membrane or a forward osmosis membrane; and (c) recovering the solute and water from the aqueous solution further concentrated in the zero osmotic pressure difference concentrator. When the method of concentrating the aqueous solution at low pressure under the zero osmotic pressure difference condition is used, the aqueous solution can be concentrated to the maximum saturation concentration of a solute or a solution concentration of 100% using a reduced amount of energy without having to use an extraction solvent. In addition, there is an advantage in that a separate osmosis draw solution does not need to be used.
