The process conditions were evaluated, observing that a low flowrate of the feed solution (5.0 ml/min) is required to crystallize G-1. In addition, the use of Vitrofural as the feed solution, which is a mixture of G-1 and PEG, allows operating with higher concentrations due to the higher solubility of Vitrofural in water. However, the presence of PEG affects the mass transfer, leading to a lower transmembrane flux compared to the use of pure G-1. SEM images were used to evaluate the surface morphology of the crystallized G-1. It was concluded that the crystals obtained by membrane crystallization have the same morphology as the commercial G-1. Thus, the application of membrane crystallization for G-1 recovery can be considered as a novel technique with high potential to recover pharmaceutical compounds from waste streams. 2014-03-15T03:06:28Z 2014-03-15T03:06:28Z 2014-02 Article Chemical Engineering Research and Design, vol.92 (2), 2014, pages 264–272 0263-8762 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/32773 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263876213003262 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2013.07.029 en Elsevier
