Green Synthesis of Vanillin: Pervaporation and Dialysis for Process Intensification in a Membrane Reactor.

In the present work, two different membrane processes (pervaporation and dialysis) are compared in view of their utilization in a membrane reactor, where vanillin, which is probably the most important aroma of the food industry, is synthesized in a green and sustainable way. The utilized precursor (ferulic acid, which is possibly a natural product from agricultural wastes) is partially oxidized (photocatalytically or biologically) and the product is continuously recovered from the reacting solution by the membrane process to avoid its degradation. It is observed that pervaporation is much more selective towards vanillin than dialysis, but the permeate flux of dialysis is much higher. Furthe…

Heterogeneous photocatalysis: a promising advanced oxidation process

This chapter reports the fundamentals of heterogeneous PC. In particular, different kinetic models and the influence of some parameters (such as pH, temperature, light intensity) on the rate of PC are described, and the effects of some photocatalyst modifications are discussed. Methods for photoreactor modeling are analyzed and the coupling of PC with other AOPs using H2O2, O3, and peroxydisulfate are discussed.
