SummaryWhey protein solutions of different chemical compositions were filtered through a large pore size ultrafiltration membrane (molecular mass cut-off 100 kDa). The influences of pH, ionic environment and Ca chelation on the performance characteristics of the membrane (filtration rate, total and individual whey protein permeability) were examined. Increase in pH in the range 5·0-10·0 resulted in a gradual increase in filtration rate and individual whey protein permeability. The presence of Ca in the whey protein solution had a negative effect on the performance characteristics of the membrane. Addition of EDTA to protein solution improved the filtration rate but had no effect on the protein permeation. Fractionation of the low molecular mass whey proteins (β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin) from high molecular mass proteins (bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin and immunoglobulins) was best achieved at pH 8·0.

Combination of electric and magnetic forces on charged molecules of flowing fluid in the presence of a significant electromagnetic fields on surfaces with a nonuniform thickness (as in the case of upper pointed surface of an aircraft and bonnet of a car which are examples of upper horizontal surfaces of a paraboloid of revolution—uhspr) is inevitable. In this study, the influence of imposed magnetic field and Hall effects on the flow of 29 nm CuO–water nanofluid over such object is presented. Suitable similarity variables were employed to nondimensionalize and parameterize the dimensional governing equation. The numerical solutions of the corresponding boundary value problem were obtained using Runge–Kutta fourth-order integration scheme along with shooting technique. The domain of cross-flow velocity can be highly suppressed when the magnitude of imposed magnetic strength and that of Hall parameter are large. A significant increase in the cross-flow velocity gradient near an upper horizontal surface of the paraboloid of revolution is guaranteed with an increase in the Hall parameter. Enhancement of temperature distribution across the flow is apparent due to an increase in the volume fraction.

Crystalline walled SBA-15 with large pore size were prepared using alkali and alkali earth metal ions (Na+, Li+, K+ and Ca2+). For this work, the ratios of alkali metal ions (Si/metal ion) ranged from 2.1 to 80, while the temperatures tested ranged from 500 to 700 °C. The SBA-15 prepared with Si/Na+ ratios ranging from 2.1 to 40 at 700 °C exhibited both cristobalite and quartz SiO2 structures in pore walls. When the Na+ amount increased (i.e., Si/Na increased from 80 to 40), the pore size was increased remarkably but the surface area and pore volume of the metal ion-based SBA-15 were decreased. When the SBA-15 prepared with Li+, K+ and Ca2+ ions (Si/metal ion = 40) was thermally treated at 700 °C, the crystalline SiO2 of quartz structure with large pore diameter (i.e., 802.5 Å) was observed for Ca+2 ion-based SBA-15, while no crystalline SiO2 structures were observed in pore walls for both the K+ and Li+ ions treated SBA-15. The crystalline SiO2 structures may be formed by the rearrangement of silica matrix when alkali or alkali earth metal ions are inserted into silica matrix at elevated temperature.

A silica-monolayer loaded on alumina with weak Brønsted acid sites and large pore size can selectively dealkylate alkyl polycyclic aromatics to long-chain alkanes and polycyclic aromatics for production of chemicals and fuel.
