Effect of organic and inorganic additives in membrane composition on the properties and performance of nanofiltration membrane for xylose and glucose separation

World production of biomass is estimated at 146 billion tons a year. The biomass resources can be used to meet variety of needs such as energy needs and food industries. Xylose and glucose are among the most abundant component that can be found in the biomass source. The purpose of the separation of...
