Separation of xylose from glucose in oil palm frond (OPF) bagasse hydrolysate using nanofiltration membrane system
Separation of biomass hydrolysate that contain glucose and xylose was done in a cross-flow system, using a commercial spiral wound nanofiltration (NF) membrane with molecular weight cut off (MWCO) ranging from 150 to 1000 g/mol. Xylose is an intermediate product in xylitol production and glucose int...
