Abstract: LIVETA, MA. ANTONETH T.; QUINONES, MAURIENE RR. ; RORALDO, JAYDEE JANE 0. Applied Research III (General Science Curriculum), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, “Development of Ultrafiltration Membranes from Nata de Coco (Bacterial Cellulose) for the Decolorization of Melanoidin”. Adviser: Prof. Gliceria L. Masicap Prof. Dulce L. Ramos Ultrafiltration membranes were prepared from Nata de coco (bacterial cellulose) and were assessed in the decolorization of melanoidin, the dark brown pigment produced by distilleries, that is a major color pollutant in water. Acetylation with bacterial cellulose was carried out by using acetic anhydride, acetic acid and sulfuric acid as acetylating agent, solvent and catalyst, respectively. Different concentrations of cellulose acetate membranes were prepared via phase-inversion technique using dimethylformamide as solvent. The membranes were characterized in terms of thickness, flux, molecular weight cut-off and pore size. Ultrafiltration experiment revealed 60% decolorization of melanoidin using 25% cellulose acetate at a rate of 22.42 to 3.7 liter per square meter-hour (L/m72hr). Lower color reduction were observed for membranes of polymer concentrations.
