The ceramic composite membranes prepared were characterized with respect to their microstructure/pore structures. The supports were 40% porous of which 87% were open pores. The average particle size of the sol particles was 35 nm. The prepared membrane has good protein lactose separation properties with a relatively high protein content (PR ∼80%) and with relatively low lactose retention (LR ∼7%). The permeate flux value was around 40 l/m2h. These results indicate the possibility of the preparation of ceramic composite membranes for separation of whey components with higher yields.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUltrafiltrationCeramic membranesAluminaWheyZirconiaArticle2-s2.0-3324447536510.1016/j.desal.2005.06.016
