A Novel Approach for the Development of Low-Cost Polymeric Thin-Film Nanocomposite Membranes for the Biomacromolecule Separation.

ABSTRACT: The separation of biomacromolecules, mainly proteins, plays a significant role in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Among the membranes' techniques, thin-film nanocomposite nanofiltration membranes are the best choice due to their high energy efficiency, excellent productivity, cost-effective and tuneable properties that have captured the attention of the efficient separation of biomacromolecules, especially from the industrial perspective. The present work directs the efficient separation study of proteins, namely, lysozyme, trypsin, pepsin, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and cephalexin, using a thin-film nanocomposite membrane integrated with Arg-MMT (arginine-montmorillonite) clay nanoparticles. The surface morphology and cross-section images of the TFN membranes were studied using a
