Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of microfiltration with a polymeric membrane in the dehydration of fatty acid ester mixtures. The dip-coating method was used to modify the surface of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hydrophilic membranes using silazane to render them hydrophobic. The membranes were characterized by the contact angle, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), membrane water absorption, silazane crosslinking to the membrane surface, and chemical compatibility of membranes to methanol. The microfiltration experiments were carried out in the dead-end and crossflow configurations. Membrane performance was evaluated by permeate flux values, mass reduction ratio, moisture, acidity, and glycerol content in the permeate. Mixtures with different compositions and concentrations of methyl ester, methanol, water, oleic acid, glycerol, and enzyme were used. Silazane deposition time of 60 min at 1 mg silazane/g toluene resulted in the best performance. The modification resulted in chemical and morphological changes in the membrane surface to render it hydrophobic changing its water contact angle from 0 to 94°. For dead-end and crossflow filtration configurations, the modified membranes presented the highest fluxes when compared to the unmodified control membrane, regardless of the composition of the mixtures. All biodiesel mixtures treated with the modified membrane had a decreased water content and an increased oleic acid content in the permeate. This work demonstrated that biocatalyzed fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) can be dehydrated using silazane-modified membranes, resulting in increased separation efficiency.
