Separating Xylose from Glucose using Spiral Wound Nanofiltration Membrane: Effect of Cross-flow Parameters on Sugar Rejection

A solution model consisted of two different monosaccharides namely xylose and glucose were separated using a pilot scale spiral wound cross-flow system. This system was equipped by a commercial spiral wound nanofiltration (NF) membrane, Desal-5 DK, having a molecular weight cut off (MWCO) of 150-300...
