Abstract

Two methods are proposed for dry-wet formation of membranes from SCA for ultrafiltration of cheese whey: dry formation followed by modification in aqueous medium and spontaneous gelation on a calender followed by modification in aqueous medium, which significantly differ in the solvent evaporation rate (12 h and 3–5 min). It was shown that the solvent evaporation rate affects formation of the pore structure of the membranes. In formation with the spontaneous gelation method on a calender, membranes with a less developed pore structure and better permeability for water and cheese whey are obtained in comparison to membranes formed by the dry method. The pore structure of the membranes can be regulated with NaHCO3 filler. Membranes from 5–7% solutions of SA at a 3–4 wt. % NaHCO3 content are the most efficient.
