Abstract:
Separation technique by membrane technology has been widely applied for separation and purification of minor components from vegetable oil. Membrane was prepared and modified in several way in order to improve the filtration performance in purification process of vegetable oil. In this work, the filtration performance of three types of polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane was investigated. The main objective of this research was to study the effect of membranes type on the filtration performance of tocopherol solution. Three series of filtration experiment were conducted by using fabricated membrane by dissolving of polyethersulfone (PES) in N-methyl pyrrolydone (NMP) with different polymer composition. The membranes was M1 = PES 20 % + NMP, M2 = PES 18 % + NMP, and M3= PES 20 %+ Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP 5 %) + NMP. The difference structure of membrans was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy measurement. The permeability profile of tocopherol solution of 500 ppm was observed by using a single module of hollow fiber membrane with filtration flow of pressure driven inside (PDI). It is shown that, the permeability of tocopherol solution was maximum and stable using PES membrane was composed by M3 system. Moreover, the improvement of tocopherol concentration in retentate solution was about two times higher than that the original solution that was obtained from filtration system of M1 membrane.ABSTRAKTeknik separasi dengan membran teknologi telah diaplikasikan secara luas untuk pemisahan dan pemurnian komponen minor dari minyak tumbuh-tumbuhan.

Abstract
Membrane-based technology is one of the most popular water treatment technologies today because it has several benefits such as relatively low energy consumption and simple operation. Graphene Oxide (GO) membranes are among the membranes that are in great demand because they have high GO porosity and good nano pore sizes. Therefore, a review of articles on the performance of composite membranes using dead-end filtration was carried out. Other materials that can be composited with GO membranes such as Ti3C2Tx, Ni, Isophorone Diisocyanate (IPDI), TiO2, Ag, PAM, Attapulgite (ATP) and SiO2 which have different potential for filtration such as for filtration in molecular separation and water treatment , filtration for dyes and others. In the membrane filtration process for dead-end filtration flow is a flow that as a whole will pass through a membrane and the particles will be stuck on the membrane. In this review article, it was found that the GO/SiO2 composite membrane had good performance in terms of the highest flux value of 229.15 L/m2.h.bar among other composite membranes and has the potential to filter water pollution.

Abstract:
Fluoropolymer membranes are applied in membrane operations such as membrane distillation and membrane crystallization where hydrophobic porous membranes act as a physical barrier separating two phases. Due to their hydrophobic nature, only gaseous molecules are allowed to pass through the membrane and are collected on the permeate side, while the aqueous solution cannot penetrate. However, these two processes suffer problems such as membrane wetting, fouling or scaling. Membrane wetting is a common and undesired phenomenon, which is caused by the loss of hydrophobicity of the porous membrane employed. This greatly affects the mass transfer efficiency and separation efficiency. Simultaneously, membrane fouling occurs, along with membrane wetting and scaling, which greatly reduces the lifespan of the membranes. Therefore, strategies to improve the hydrophobicity of membranes have been widely investigated by researchers. In this direction, hydrophobic fluoropolymer membrane materials are employed more and more for membrane distillation and membrane crystallization thanks to their high chemical and thermal resistance. This paper summarizes different preparation methods of these fluoropolymer membrane, such as non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS), thermally-induced phase separation (TIPS), vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS), etc. Hydrophobic modification methods, including surface coating, surface grafting and blending, etc., are also introduced. Moreover, the research advances on the application of less toxic solvents for preparing these membranes are herein reviewed. This review aims to provide guidance to researchers for their future membrane development in membrane distillation and membrane crystallization, using fluoropolymer materials.

Abstract:
One of the technologies for ethanol-water separation is pervaporation. The principles of pervaporation is based on the difference in diffusional rate and solubility of the solution components in membranes. The performance of the membrane, in terms of flux and selectivity, is influenced by the swelling of the membrane due to the interaction between the solution components and the membrane materials. Membrane modification is done by forming chemical bonding between PVA and chitosan, using glutaraldehyde as crosslinking agent. The performance of the PVA-chitosan crosslinked membrane for ethanol-water separation is characterized by high mass flux and reasonably high selectivity. Pressure observed on the permeate side was 0.5 mbar, with a feed ethanol concentration of 93%. Experimental results indicate that the PVA membrane has a higher degree of swelling compared to the crosslinked PVA-chitosan membrane. The PVA-chitosan crosslinked membrane has a higher selectivity compared to the PVA membrane. The highest flux of 0.833 kgm-2hour-1 was produced by the PVA membrane. The highest selectivity of 2.820 was obtained using a 1:1 PVA-chitosan crosslinked membrane.Keywords: PVA-chitosan; crosslinked; pervaporation Abstrak Salah satu teknologi untuk pemisahan etanol-air adalah pervaporasi.

Abstract:
The use of natural polymers as membranes of DMFC from chitosan was developed because it is more environmentally friendly and has high thermal stability, but the proton conductivity is low. The Clay from Babakan Madang, which contained of SiO2 50% was expected to increase proton conductivity and improve the characteristics of the polymer membrane. Chitosan / PVA based membrane synthesis was carried out by adding clay weight variations of 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 g. The spectra of membranes investigated by FT-IR confirmed the presence of functional groups from chitosan/PVA/clay. Morphological analysis using SEM showed that there were granules of clay dispersed on the membrane. The determination of membran conductivity using EIS showed the highest proton conductivity value was a membrane with the addition of 0.6 g clay, it was 6.96 x 10-7 S / cm. The membrane water swelling produced on the three membranes tended to be high, with the smallest value of 56.69% on the membrane with the addition of 0.9 grams of clay. The methanol uptake data found that the conductivity of membrane with the addition of 0.6 grams of clay was 346.11%.

Šis modelis sudarytas pakeičiant perforuotą membraną dviem homogeniškais sluoksniais atitinkamai membranos dalims, kur skylutės yra užpildytos fermento ir kur fermento nėra. Pasiūlytas modelis buvo ištirtas vykdant skaitinius eksperimentus, kad būtų nustatytos sąlygos, kuriomis jis gali būti taikomas tiksliam biojutiklio veiksmo modeliavimui. Šio modelio tikslumas buvo vertinamas lyginant juo gaunamus rezultatus su dvimačio modelio rezultatais. Pasiūlyto modelio rezultatai taip pat buvo palyginti su vienmačio modelio, kuriame perforuota membrana pakeičiama vienu homogenišku sluoksniu, rezultatais. Biojutiklis buvo modeliuojamas reakcijos-difuzijos lygtimis su netiesiniu nariu, aprašančiu fermentinės reakcijos Michaelio–Menteno kinetiką.

This model is constructed by replacing the perforated membrane with two homogeneous layers. These layers are used to model parts of the perforated membrane, where holes are fi lled with an enzyme and where is no enzyme in the holes, separately. The proposed model was investigated by performing numerical experiments in order to determine conditions, under which the proposed model can be used to simulate an operation of a biosensor with an outer perforated membrane precisely. A preciseness of the model was measured by comparing its results with results of the corresponding two-dimensional model. Beside the measurement of the preciseness, results of the proposed model were compared to the results of the one-dimensional model, constructed by replacing the perforated membrane with one homogeneous layer. A biosensor was modeled using diffusion-reaction equations with a nonlinear member representing the Michaelis-Menten kinetic of an enzymatic reaction. These equations were solved numerically, using the method of fi nite differences.: 18px;">

Abstract:
Membrane separation science has enjoyed tremendous progress since the first synthesis of membranes almost 40 years ago, which was driven by strong technological needs and commercial expectations. As a result, the range of successful applications of membranes and membrane processes is continuously broadening. An additional change lies in the nature of membranes, which is now extended to include liquid and gaseous materials, biological or synthetic. Membranes are understood to be thin barriers between two phases through which transport can take place under the action of a driving force, typically a pressure difference and generally a chemical or electrical potential difference.An attempt at functional classification of membranes would have to include diverse categories such as gas separation, pervaporation, reverse osmosis, micro- and ultrafiltration, and biomedical separations. The dominant application of membranes is certainly the separation of mixed phases or fluids, homogeneous or heterogeneous. Separation of a mixture can be achieved if the difference in the transport coefficients of the components of interest is sufficiently large. Membranes can also be used in applications other than separation targeting: They can be employed in catalytic reactors, energy storage and conversion systems, as key components of artificial organs, as supports for electrodes, or even to control the rate of release of both useful and dangerous species.In order to meet the requirements posed by the aforementioned applications, membranes must combine several structural and functional properties.

Abstract:
<p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memodifikasi kitosan dan digunakan sebagai sensor ion logam Cu(II). Modifikasi dilakukan dengan penaut silang kitosan menggunakan tripolifosfat dan dibentuk menjadi membran. Membran yang dihasilkan dianalisis dengan spektrofotometer UV-Vis, <em>Fourier Transform InfraRed </em>(FTIR), dan <em>Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray</em> (SEM-EDX). Hasil analisis menunjukkan keberhasilan sintesis membran kitosan/tripolifosfat (CTS/TPP). Membran CTS/TPP dapat mendeteksi ion logam Cu(II) ditandai adanya perubahan warna membran dari bening menjadi biru. Keberhasilan deteksi ion logam Cu(II) oleh membran dikonfirmasi oleh pengujian UV-Vis, FTIR dan SEM-EDX. Pengujian spektrofotometer UV-Vis pada membran setelah dikontakkan dengan ion logam Cu(II) menunjukkan terjadinya pergeseran panjang gelombang maksimum akibat interaksi yang terjadi antara membran dengan ion logam Cu(II). Pada penentuan kondisi optimum pH, membran CTS/TPP optimum bekerja pada pH 7 dalam waktu 15 menit. Pada rentang konsentrasi ion Cu(II) 1‒10 ppm, nilai koefisien korelasi (R<sup>2</sup>) untuk membran CTS/TPP diperoleh sebesar 0,9917.</p><p><strong>Modification of Tripolyphosphate Cross-Linked Chitosan Membrane for Cu(II) Ion Sensor.</strong> This study aims to modify chitosan and use it as a sensor for Cu(II) metal ions. The modification was carried out by cross-linking chitosan using tripolyphosphate and forming it into a membrane. The resulting membranes were analyzed by UV-Vis, FTIR spectrophotometer, and SEM-EDX. The analysis results show the successful synthesis of the chitosan/tripolyphosphate (CTS/TPP) membrane. The CTS/TPP membrane can detect Cu(II) metal ions, as indicated by a change in the color of the membrane from clear to blue. The successful detection of Cu(II) metal ions by the membrane was confirmed by UV-Vis, FTIR spectrophotometer, and SEM-EDX. UV-Vis spectrophotometer testing on the membrane after contact with Cu(II) metal ions showed that the maximum wavelength was shifted due to the interaction that occurred between the membrane and Cu(II) metal ions. In the determination of the optimum pH condition, the CTS/TPP membrane optimally works at pH 7 for 15 minutes. In the Cu(II) concentration range of 1‒10 ppm, the correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) value for the CTS/TPP membrane was 0.9917.</p>

Abstract:
Membrane distillation (MD) integrates membrane technology with evaporation process to produce fresh water from seawater or contaminated water. In this study, we investigated the effect of membrane materials on the efficiency of membrane distillation process. Flat sheet hydrophobic membranes (PVDF, PTFE) with different characterizes were chosen as well as hollow fiber membranes (PE). Laboratory-scale systems were developed for initial screening of various membranes. The performance of the membrane was analyzed in terms of water permeability and salt rejection. Synthetic seawater (TDS = 35,000 mg/L) was used for the lab-scale tests. A simple model to analyze the transport of water through MD membranes was developed to interpret experimental results. In addition, long-term performances of the membranes were compared to examine the stability of membrane materials and fouling tendency using real seawater. Based on the lab-scale experiments, techniques to improve the performance of the membranes were examined by applying physical and chemical modification.

Abstract:
Membrane technology is widely utilised in industries for separation, concentration, filtering, and extraction operations. Membrane technology carries out various applications by utilising simple and specially designed semi-permeable membranes. It uses little energy and is thus considered a green technology. Ultrafiltration (UF), Microfiltration (MF), Nano-filtration (NF), and Reverse osmosis (RO) are membrane filtration methods that have a major influence on the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of juice. The adoption of a membrane method linked with enzymatic hydrolysis resulted in clarified and concentrated fruit juices with good sensory and nutritional quality. Membrane fouling is a significant problem of membrane-based separation processes. Membrane procedures powered by pressure, such as MF, UF, NF, and RO, allow for the separation of components with a wide variety of particle sizes. Because of this, they have a wide range of uses in the food processing business.

Abstract:
Treatment of rats with a new hypocholesterolemic drug BM 15766 induces proliferation of peroxisomes in pericentral regions of the liver lobule with distinct alterations of the peroxisomal membrane (Baumgart, E., K. Stegmeier, F. H. Schmidt, and H. D. Fahimi. 1987. Lab. Invest. 56:554-564). We have used ultrastructural cytochemistry in conjunction with immunoblotting and immunoelectron microscopy to investigate the effects of this drug on peroxisomal membranes. Highly purified peroxisomal fractions were obtained by Metrizamide gradient centrifugation from control and treated rats. Immunoblots prepared from such peroxisomal fractions incubated with antibodies to 22-, 26-, and 70-kD peroxisomal membrane proteins revealed that the treatment with BM 15766 induced only the 70-kD protein. In sections of normal liver embedded in Lowicryl K4M, all three membrane proteins of peroxisomes could be localized by the postembedding technique. The strongest labeling was obtained with the 22-kD antibody followed by the 70-kD and 26-kD antibodies. In treated animals, double-membraned loops with negative catalase reaction in their lumen, resembling smooth endoplasmic reticulum segments as well as myelin-like figures, were noted in the proximity of some peroxisomes. Serial sectioning revealed that the loops seen at some distance from peroxisomes in the cytoplasm were always continuous with the peroxisomal membranes. The double-membraned loops were consistently negative for glucose-6-phosphatase, a marker for endoplasmic reticulum, but were distinctly labeled with antibodies to peroxisomal membrane proteins. Our observations indicate that these membranous structures are part of the peroxisomal membrane system. They could provide a membrane reservoir for the proliferation of peroxisomes and the expansion of this intracellular compartment.

In this article, nylon membrane is presented as a filter for clarification of sugarcane juice concerning study on performance evaluation, effectiveness, and efficiency of the membrane. The experiments were conducted according to the principle of the dead-end in an ultrafiltration process using four different transmembrane pressures of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 bar. The concentration of sugarcane juice before and after ultrafiltration process was characterized using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Nylon membranes, which consist of 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 gram various mass, showed matched water flux in the range of 15 – 38 L/m2.jam.bar at the transmembrane pressures. The results showed that the best performance nylon membrane was a nylon membrane with a mass of 4.5 gram nylon, because it has the largest flux and the smallest rejection coefficient. Nylon membrane with a mass of 6.5 gram has the biggest effectiveness and efficiency in the reduced of sucrose concentration. Meanwhile, nylon membrane with a mass of 4.5 gram has the lowest effectiveness and efficiency in the reduced of sucrose concentration.

Abstract:
<p>Teknologi membran merupakan teknologi yang dapat memisahkan dua fasa (permeat dan umpan). Kendala dalam teknologi membran yaitu bahan yang terkandung dalam umpan dan mengakibatkan terjadinya <em>fouling</em> (penutupan pori). Salah satu alternatif untuk mengurangi <em>fouling</em> yaitu menambahkan zat <em>antibiofouling </em>pada membran. Bahan yang dapat digunakan sebagai antibiofoulan alami adalah ekstrak bawang putih yang memiliki sifat antibakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penambahan ekstrak bawang putih terhadap perbaikan karakteristik membran (ketebalan, kuat tarik, elastisitas), fluks air bersih, dan sifat <em>antibiofouling</em> pada bakteri <em>Bacillus subtilis</em>. Membran selulosa asetat dibuat dengan menggunakan metode inversi fasa dan pelarut dimetilformamida. Penambahan ekstrak bawang putih pada pembuatan membran selulosa asetat memiliki konsentrasi masing-masing sebesar 0,25% b/v (0,01 g), 0,5% b/v (0,02 g), 0,75% b/v (0,03 g), dan 0% b/v (kontrol) dengan ketebalan 0,3 mm. Hasil yang optimum diperoleh untuk membran dengan konsentrasi 0,5 % b/v yang menghasilkan pengujian kuat tarik sebesar 0,977 N/mm<sup>2 </sup>dan untuk membrane dengan konsentrasi 0,25% b/v yang memberikan elastistas pertambahan panjang sebesar 12,22%. Sifat antibakteri membran dengan penambahan ekstrak bawang putih ditunjukkan dengan berkurangnya penempelan bakteri <em>Bacillus subtilis </em>pada permukaan membran sebesar 41,5% – 87,7% area.</p><p><strong>Synthesis and Characterization of Cellulose Acetate Membrane with The Addition of Natural Antibiofouling Garlic Extract<em>.</em></strong><em> </em>Membrane technology is a technology that can separate two phases (permeate and feed). The main problem in membrane technology is the material contained in the feed, which causes fouling (pore closure). An alternative to reducing fouling is by adding anti-biofouling substances into the membrane. The material that can be used as a natural anti-biofoulant is garlic extract which has antibacterial properties. This study aimed to analyze the effect of adding garlic extract on the improvement of membrane characteristics (thickness, tensile strength, elasticity), clean water flux, and anti-biofouling properties of Bacillus subtilis bacteria. The cellulose acetate membrane was synthesized using dimethylformamide as solvent through the phase inversion method. The addition of garlic extract in the manufacture of cellulose acetate membranes had concentrations of 0.25% w/v (0.01 g), 0.5% w/v (0.02 g), 0.75% w/v (0.03 g), and 0% w/v (control) with a thickness of 0.3 mm. The optimum results were obtained for the membrane with a concentration of 0.5% w/v, which resulted in the tensile strength test of 0.977 N/mm<sup>2</sup>, and the membrane with a concentration of 0.25% w/v, which resulted in an elongation elasticity of 12.22%. The antibacterial properties of membranes with the addition of garlic extract were indicated by the adhesion reduction of <em>Bacillus subtilis</em> bacteria on the membrane surface by 41.5% – 87.7% area.</p>

Abstract:
In this study, electrolyte membranes based on polystyrene acrylonitrile (SAN) for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell applicationwere prepared. The preparation was carried out in two steps. The first step was introduction of additives, silicaand zeolite, as reinforcing agent on SAN, to obtain silica-reinforced SAN membrane, specified as SAN-Si, andzeolite-reinforced SAN membranae, specified as SAN-Z. The two reinforced membranes were then subjected tosulphonation using sulphuric acid, and the sulphonated membranes are specified as S-SAN-Si and S-SAN-Z,respectively. The characteristics of the membrane were described in terms of the degree of sulphonation, ionicconductivity, methanol permeability, and percentage of swelling in water and methanol. The results obtaineddemonstrated that additives result in significant reduction of methanol crossover, as reflected by lower values ofmethanol permeability than that obtained for the membrane without additive. It was also found that zeolite functionsrelatively better than silica. For zeolite-modified membrane (S-SAN-Z) the ionic conductivity of 10.05 x 10 -6 S/cmwas achieved. The membrane also marked by methanol permeability of 0.52 x 10 -6, percentage of swelling of 5.12%in water and 2.58% in methanol. Thermal analysis using DSC technique revealed changes in glass transition fromthe original sample, in which the glass transition of the original sample, SAN, (55 0C), sulphonated SAN, S-SAN,(83.360C), silica-modified membrane S-SAN-Si (79.860C), and zeolite-modified membrane S-SAN-Z (79.290C). Additionof additive was also found to influence the surface characteristics of the membranes as revealed by SEM analysis,in which the surface changed from smooth for the original sample into rough for the reinforced samples with bothadditives.

Abstract:
<p>Telah dilakukan sintesis dan karakterisasi membran ZSM-5 dengan penyangga kasa jenis 304 ukuran 200 dan 400 mesh dan jenis kasa AISI 316 ukuran 180 mesh. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mensintesis membran ZSM-5 dengan penyangga kasa jenis 304 ukuran 200 dan 400 mesh dan jenis kasa AISI 316 ukuran 180 mesh dan mengkarakterisasi membran ZSM-5 hasil sintesis. Sintesis membran dilakukan dengan cara melapiskan prekursor ZSM-5 (<em>coating)</em> pada penyangga kasa yang telah diberi perlakuan dan dipanaskan pada suhu 90 °C selama 4 hari. Selanjutnya, membran yang dihasilkan dikarakterisasi engan metoda <em>X-ray diffraction</em> (XRD), <em>scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy</em> (SEM-EDS) dan <em>Fourier-transform infrared</em> (FTIR). Hasil citra SEM-EDS menunjukkan bahwa ukuran membran ZSM-5 yang semakin besar, menghasilkan jumlah lubang atau pori semakin banyak dengan luasan pori yang semakin kecil. Pola difraksi XRD menunjukkan bahwa membran yang dihasilkan mempunyai intensitas tertinggi pada 2 8º dan 23º yang merupakan karakteristik dari ZSM-5.

Abstract:
A study of alginate-chitosan membrane synthesize was done. The membrane was prepared by mixing alginate hydrosol and chitosan hydrosol at mass ratio of 1:1 and pH of 5.28 approximately. Then it was applied for matrix immobilization of urease and bromothymol blue (BTB) by entrapment technique. The physical, chemical, thermal properties of alginate–chitosan membrane and their impact on immobilized urease activity were investigated. The polymer products were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It’s showed that alginate-chitosan membrane was formed by electrostatic interaction. The obtained membran has better mechanical properties than original alginat and chitosan membranes. The immobilization urease into alginate-chitosan membrane retained the catalytic activity of the enzyme, as confirmed by color change of BTB indicator after membrane was immersed in substrate solution (urea). Therefore, alginate-chitosan membrane has good characteristics as matrix of enzyme immobilization.

Abstract:
Infection with many positive-strand RNA viruses dramatically remodels cellular membranes, resulting in the accumulation of double-membraned vesicles that resemble cellular autophagosomes. In this study, a single protein encoded by poliovirus, 3AB, is shown to be sufficient to induce the formation of double-membraned liposomes via the invagination of single-membraned liposomes. Poliovirus 3AB is a 109-amino acid protein with a natively unstructured N-terminal domain. HeLa cells transduced with 3AB protein displayed intracellular membrane disruption; specifically, the formation of cytoplasmic invaginations. The ability of a single viral protein to produce structures of similar topology to cellular autophagosomes should facilitate the understanding of both cellular and viral mechanisms for membrane remodeling.

Abstract:
SummaryPlatelets from diabetic subjects and animals are hypersensitive to agonists in vitro. Membrane fluidity modulates cell function and previously we observed reduced membrane fluidity in platelets from diabetic patients associated with hypersensitivity to thrombin. We previously reported that decreased fluidity of isolated platelet membranes from diabetic patients is associated with increased glycation of platelet membrane proteins, but not with any change in the cholesterol to phospholipid molar ratio. We have now examined in vitro whether incubation of platelet membranes in a high glucose medium causes sufficient glycation to reduce membrane fluidity. Incubation of platelet membranes from control subjects in a high glucose (16.1 mM) medium for 10 days at 37° C led to an increase in the extent of glycation of membrane proteins and a decrease in membrane fluidity (indicated by an increase in steady state fluorescence polarization); most of the changes occurred within the first 3 days of incubation. Incubation of platelet membranes with 5.4 mM glucose had less effect. In contrast, incubation of platelet membranes with the same concentrations of 1–0-methylglucose did not cause a change in either the extent of glycation of proteins or membrane fluidity. We also determined if acetylation by aspirin or acetyl chloride of the sites available for glycation on platelet membrane proteins leads to a similar reduction in membrane fluidity. Pretreatment of platelet membranes with aspirin or acetyl chloride diminished the extent of glycation that occurred when platelet membranes were subsequently incubated with glucose, but membrane fluidity was reduced even in the absence of glucose; subsequent incubation with glucose caused no further reduction in membrane fluidity. Similar results were obtained when red blood cells were incubated with high concentrations of glucose or methyl glucose either with or without pretreatment with aspirin or acetyl chloride. Further experiments using platelet membranes showed that the reduction in membrane fluidity due to aspirin was independent of its acetylating effect on platelet cyclo-oxygenase. Ingestion of aspirin also caused a reduction in membrane fluidity of platelets. Therefore, glycation of platelet membrane proteins reduces membrane fluidity, but the effect results from occupation of the sites available for glycation and not the presence of glucose moieties per se at these sites. Acetylation of platelet membrane proteins either in vitro or in vivo also reduces membrane fluidity; this effect is not associated with platelet hypersensitivity to thrombin.

Abstract:
<p>Membran Polyethersulfone (PES) bersifat hidrofobik yang memiliki ketahanan rendah terhadap sifat fouling. Fouling pada membran mengakibatkan penurunan kinerja membrane selama proses operasi. Oleh karena itu, modifikasi membran perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan sifat hidrofilik membrane. Pada penelitian ini modifikasi dilakukan dengan penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> yang bersifat tidak beracun, murah, dan mudah diperoleh. Penambahan aditif nanopartikel Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> pada membran PES dilakukan dengan cara pencampuran polimer dengan metode <em>non solvent induced phase separation</em> (NIPS) menggunakan pelarut <em>dimethyl sulfoxide</em> (DMSO). DMSO merupakan pelarut polar aprotik yang dapat melarutkan senyawa organik maupun anorganik dengan baik. DMSO juga merupakan pelarut yang tidak beracun, sehingga lebih aman dan ramah lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan membran PES hidrofilik dengan penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> dengan unjuk kerja terbaik. Pengaruh penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> dalam sistem membran dievaluasi dengan menganalisis perubahan struktur kimia PES menggunakan ATR-FTIR, perubahan morfologi menggunakan SEM, porositas menggunakan metoda gravimetri, serta pengujian kinerja (permeabilitas dan rejeksi) membran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub>, mengakibatkan perubahan pada struktur atau morfologi membrane PES, yang berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan permeabilitas membran. Penambahan nanopartikel Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> juga meningkatkan porositas membran dari 12% ‒ 40%. Kehadiran gugus hidroksil (-OH) dalam matriks membran dikonfirmasi dengan uji FTIR. Kinerja membran optimum diperoleh pada nilai permeabilitas air sebesar 56,4 L/m<sup>2</sup>.jam.bar, dengan rejeksi asam humus sebesar 61%.</p><p><strong>Modification of Polyethersulfone Membrane with the Addition of Mg(OH)<sub>2 </sub>Nanoparticles in Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvent. </strong>Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane has hydrophobic characteristics and low resistance to fouling properties. The fouling on the membrane results in a decrease in the performance of the membrane during the operation process. Therefore, membrane modification needs to be done to increase the hydrophilic properties of the membrane. In this study, modifications were made by adding Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles which are non-toxic, inexpensive, and easy to obtain. The addition of Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanoparticle additives to PES membranes was carried out by blending polymers with the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent. DMSO is an aprotic polar solvent that can dissolve both organic and inorganic compounds well. DMSO is also a non-toxic solvent, making it safer and more environmentally friendly. This study aims to produce a hydrophilic PES membrane with the addition of Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles with the best performance. The effect of adding Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles in the membrane system was evaluated by analyzing changes in the chemical structure of PES using ATR-FTIR, morphological changes using SEM, porosity using the gravimetric method, and testing the performance (permeability and rejection) of the membrane. The results showed that the addition of Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles resulted in changes in the structure or morphology of the PES membrane, which affected the increase in membrane permeability. The addition of Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles also increased the porosity of the membrane from 12% to 40%. The presence of hydroxyl groups (-OH) in the membrane matrix was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The optimum membrane performance was obtained at the water permeability value of 56.4 L/m<sup>2</sup>.h.bar with 61% rejection of humic acid.</p>

Abstract:
This article provides the results of liquid low-level radioactive wastes treatment by direct contact membrane distillation using polyethylene terephthalate hydrophobic track-etched membranes. The hydrophobization of track-etched membranes was carried out by UV-induced graft polymerization of triethoxyvinylsilane with styrene and coating with fluorine-containing silanes. Hydrophobic membranes were investigated by scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, contact anglemeasurements, and liquid entry pressure analysis. Prepared membranes were tested in treatment of liquid low-level radioactive wastes by membrane distillation. The influence of pore sizes on water flux and rejection degree was studied. Rejection degree was evaluated by conductometry and atomic emission method. Decontamination factors evaluated by gamma-ray spectroscopy for 60Co, 137Cs, and 241Am are 85.4, 1900 and 5.4 for membranes modified with polystyrene and triethoxyvinylsilanewith pore diameters of 142 nm; 85.0, 1462 and 4 for membranes modified with perfluorododecyltrichlorosilanewith pore diameters of 150 nm respectively.

Abstract:
The influence of the additive on the characteristics of the sulfonated polyether-ether ketone electrolyte membrane for direct methanol fuel cell applicationsThe weakness of comercial membrane (Nafion-117) for the application of direct methanol fuel cell is highly methanol cross-over. It is decreasing the cell voltage. To minimize the methanol cross-over in a membrane, there are two methods can beproposed: the modification of conventional membrane structure (Nafion-117) and development of novel electrolyte membrane (and modified). PEEK can be used as one of alternatives for direct methanol fuel cell membranes. This PEEK polymer has the stability of chemistry mechanic and thermal. In order to increase ionic conductivity and to decrease methanol permeability. It is necessary to make the modification of sulfonated polyether-ether ketone (sPEEK) with adding higroscopic inorganic additives (SiO2 and H-zeolit). The type of additive which can increase ionic conductivity for sPEEK membrane is SiO2 (3 wt.%) 2 times, and decrease ionic conductivity 1,7 times for H-zeolite. Methanol permeability of membrane sPEEK with silica added increase 5 times and H-zeolite 2 times compared to sPEEK membrane without additive. Although composite membrane have increasing methanol permeability but that values are still lower than Nafion-117. Conclusion, the addition of SiO2 as additives has given best performance 0,09 S/cm ionic conductivity, 10-7 cm2/S methanol permeability dan 17 wt.% water swelling.Keywords: Additive, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, Polyether-Ether Ketone, SiO2, H-ZeoliteAbstrakKelemahan membran komersial (Nafion-117) untuk aplikasi sel bahan bakar metanol langsung (direct methanol fuel cell) adalah methanol crossover yang tinggi, hal tersebut yang dapat menurunkan kinerja voltase sel secara keseluruhan. Dalam rangka mengurangi methanol crossover melalui membran, ada dua pendekatan yaitu modifikasi struktur membran konvensional (Nafion) atau pengembangan membran polimer elektrolit (dan modifikasi). Salah satu polimer aromatik yang menarik perhatian sebagai membran elektrolit pada aplikasi DMFC adalah polieter-eter keton (PEEK) karena polimer tersebut mempunyai kestabilan kimia, mekanik dan panas. Agar dapat meningkatkan konduktivitas ionik dan menurunkan permeabilitas metanol dilakukan modifikasi pada polieter-eter keton tersulfonasi (sPEEK) yaitu dengan menambahkan aditif anorganik yang bersifat higroskopik (SiO2 dan H-zeolit) Jenis aditif yang dapat meningkatkan konduktivitas ionik untuk membran elektrolit adalah SiO2 (3% berat) yaitu sebesar 2 kali, sedangkan H-zeolit menurunkan konduktivitas ionik sebesar 1,7 kali. Permeabilitas metanol membran sPEEK yang ditambahkan SiO2 naik hingga 5x sedangkan yang ditambahkan H-zeolit hanya 2 kali dari membran sPEEK tanpa aditif. Walaupun membran komposit meningkatkan permeabilitas metanol tetapi nilai tersebut masih dibawah membran Nafion-117. Jadi penambahan aditif yang baik dalam membran berbasis polieter-eter keton tersulfonasi adalah SiO2 yang mempunyai konduktivitas ionik 0,09 S/cm, permeabilitas metanol 10-7 cm2/S dan swelling air 17%.Kata kunci : Aditif, Polieter-Eter Keton, Sci Bahan Bakar Metanol Langsung, SiO,, H-Zeolit

Abstract:
Nanofibrous membranes for membrane distillation (MD) have demonstrated promising results in treating various water and wastewater streams. Significant progress has been made in recent decades because of the development of sophisticated membrane materials, such as superhydrophobic, omniphobic and Janus membranes. However, fouling and wetting remain crucial issues for long-term operation. This mini-review summarizes ideas as well as their limitations in understanding the fouling in membrane distillation, comprising organic, inorganic and biofouling. This review also provides progress in developing antifouling nanofibrous membranes for membrane distillation and ongoing modifications on nanofiber membranes for improved membrane distillation performance. Lastly, challenges and future ways to develop antifouling nanofiber membranes for MD application have been systematically elaborated. The present mini-review will interest scientists and engineers searching for the progress in MD development and its solutions to the MD fouling issues.

Abstract:
To improve the antifouling property of PP membrane, a series of amphoteric charged membranes was prepared by the introduction of cysteine on polypropylene membrane. The modified membrane presents higher water flux than original membrane due to the improved hydrophilicity. It was proved by zeta potential that modified membrane inherited the amphoteric characteristic from cysteine. The isoelectric point of modified membranes are at pH 7.2 and 6.5 for 7.6% and 16.1% grafted membranes respectively. Due to the amphoteric characteristic of both modified membrane and BSA, electrical repulsion exsists among grafting chains and BSA in acid and alkaline solution. As a result, modified membranes have much lower adsorption amount of BSA than original PP membrane. Moreover, modified membranes show obvious antifouling property to BSA, due to the improved hydrophilicity of membrane and the electrical repulsion between BSA and membrane. Therefore, the amphoteric charged membranes modified by cysteine show great potential to resist protein fouling in a wide range of pH.

Abstract:
Methylcyclohexane-toluene system is one of the most promising methods for hydrogen transport/storage. The methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation can be exceeded by the equilibrium conversion using membrane reactor. However, the modularization of the membrane reactor and manufacturing longer silica membranes than 100 mm are little developed. Herein, we have developed silica membrane with practical length by a counter-diffusion chemical vapor deposition method, and membrane reactor module bundled multiple silica membranes. The developed 500 mm-length silica membrane had high hydrogen permselective performance (H2 permeance > 1 × 10−6 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1, H2/SF6 selectivity > 10,000). In addition, we successfully demonstrated effective methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation using a flange-type membrane reactor module, which was installed with 6 silica membranes. The results indicated that conversion of methylcyclohexane was around 85% at 573 K, whereas the equilibrium conversion was 42%.

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 20, no. 5 (March 4, 2023): 4558. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph20054558.
Abstract:
Ceramic membrane has emerged as a promising material to address the membrane fouling issue in membrane bioreactors (MBR). In order to optimize the structural property of ceramic membrane, four corundum ceramic membranes with the mean pore size of 0.50, 0.63, 0.80, and 1.02 μm were prepared, which were designated as C5, C7, C13, and C20, respectively. Long-term MBR experiments showed that the C7 membrane with medium pore size experienced the lowest trans-membrane pressure development rate. Both the decrease and increase of membrane pore size would lead to more severe membrane fouling in the MBR. It was also interesting that with the increase of membrane pore size, the relative proportion of cake layer resistance in total fouling resistance was gradually increased. The content of dissolved organic foulants (i.e., protein, polysaccharide and DOC) on the surface of C7 was quantified as the lowest among the different ceramic membranes. Microbial community analysis also revealed the C7 had a lower relative abundance of membrane fouling associated bacteria in its cake layer. The results clearly demonstrated that ceramic membrane fouling in MBR could be effectively alleviated through optimizing the membrane pore size, which was a key structural factor for preparation of ceramic membrane.

Abstract:
Membrane fouling has attracted a lot of attention in the membrane separation field. Herein, we selected the homogeneous-reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride (HMR-PVDF) and heterogeneous-reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride (HTR-PVDF) hollow fiber membranes to investigate the fouling mechanism of membranes in membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems. The filtration models, membrane adsorption experiment, and membrane resistance distribution after a long or short time operation were assessed to compare their antifouling properties in order to verify the optimal membrane. The outer surface, shown by an SEM observation of the HMR-PVDF and HTR-PVDF membranes, was rough and smooth, respectively. Moreover, the HMR-PVDF membranes had a higher adsorption capacity than the HTR-PVDF membranes when an equilibrium state was almost 2.81 times that of the original membrane resistance. A cleaning method (mainly physical and chemical) was utilized to illustrate the operational stability of the membranes. In summary, the HMR-PVDF hollow fiber membrane presented better antifouling properties than the HTR-PVDF membranes, which was conducive to industrial implementation.

Abstract:
Photosynthetic membranes are typically densely packed with proteins, and this is crucial for their function in efficient trapping of light energy. Despite being crowded with protein, the membranes are fluid systems in which proteins and smaller molecules can diffuse. Fluidity is also crucial for photosynthetic function, as it is essential for biogenesis, electron transport, and protein redistribution for functional regulation. All photosynthetic membranes seem to maintain a delicate balance between crowding, order, and fluidity. How does this work in phototrophic bacteria? In this review, we focus on two types of intensively studied bacterial photosynthetic membranes: the chromatophore membranes of purple bacteria and the thylakoid membranes of cyanobacteria. Both systems are distinct from the plasma membrane, and both have a distinctive protein composition that reflects their specialized roles. Chromatophores are formed from plasma membrane invaginations, while thylakoid membranes appear to be an independent intracellular membrane system. We discuss the techniques that can be applied to study the organization and dynamics of these membrane systems, including electron microscopy techniques, atomic force microscopy, and many variants of fluorescence microscopy. We go on to discuss the insights that havebeen acquired from these techniques, and the role of membrane dynamics in the physiology of photosynthetic membranes. Membrane dynamics on multiple timescales are crucial for membrane function, from electron transport on timescales of microseconds to milliseconds to regulation and biogenesis on timescales of minutes to hours. We emphasize the open questions that remain in the field.

Abstract:
Fouling characteristics of aerobic submerged membrane bioreactors were analysed under two different membrane materials. Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were found to foul faster at sub-critical flux than polyolefin (PO) membranes. Physico-chemical characterisation, by means of comparison of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and soluble microbial products (SMP) concentrations, as well as the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration were unable to explain the differences in membrane fouling of the contrasting membrane materials. The use of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to image organic foulants directly on the membrane surface, coupled with image analyses showed that membrane fouling mechanism shifted from a biofilm initiated process on PO membranes to a bio-organic dominated process on PES membranes under sub-critical flux conditions. These results show that physico-chemical characterisation of an MBR process may not effectively distinguish the effectiveness of different membrane materials, so long as operating conditions are identical, and that characterisation of foulants on the membrane surfaces was necessary to elucidate the differences in membrane fouling.

Abstract:
The salt permeability through three commercial cation-exchange membranes with different morphologies is investigated in aqueous NaCl solutions. Ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) find application in different processes such as electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, diffusion dialysis, membrane electrolysis, membrane fuel cells and ion exchange bioreactors. The aim of this paper is the experimental determination of the electrolyte permeability in the following membranes: MK-40 membrane, Nafion N324 membrane and Nafion 117 membrane. The latter is selected as being a reference membrane. The effect of an increase in the NaCl concentration in the solutions on membranes transport properties is analyzed. With regard to membranes sorption, a decrease in the water content was observed when the external electrolyte concentration is increased. Concerning permeation through the membranes, the salt permeability increased with concentration for the Nafion 117 membrane and remained nearly constant for the other two membranes. A close relation between the degree of liquid sorption by the membranes and the electrolyte permeability was observed.

Abstract:
Membrane Contactor (MC) is a well-known membrane technology to provide significant advantages required by industries. For MC, a hydrophobic membrane required as a barrier so that liquid absorbent and flue gaseous do not disperse with one another. However, the major concern in hydrophobic membrane is getting swelling by liquid after a short operating period. To minimize the swelling, this study focused on the exploration on membrane fabrication by Thermally Induced Phase Separation (TIPS). As the immersion in solvents is one of the important step to extract the diluent from membranes pores, the effect of the immersion in methanol was studied. The productions of hydrophobic microporous flat sheets were accomplished by using isotactic Polypropylene (iPP) and two type diluents: Dipenyl Ether (DPE) and Methyl Salicylate (MS). The measurement of hydophobicity of membranes produced was conducted by Test System of JY-82 Video Contact Instrument. Membranes produced were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The highest hydrophobicity obtained were 124°(three hours immersed in methanol) and 107° (two hours immersed in methanol) by DPE and MS respectively. All membranes show spherical pores, indicating that membranes were formed via liquid-liquid TIPS and strong bond alkane group by Infrared (IR) spectras show that the membranes produce did not change when undergo TIPS process.
