The Global Cellulose-Based Osmosis Membrane Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of this market can be attributed to factors such as increasing demand for electronic products and the rising number of industries using these membranes in their operations.
Cellulose-based osmosis membrane, also known as a cellulose asymmetric membrane (CAM), is a thin and flexible hydrophilic sheet that acts as the selective barrier in an osmotic process. These membranes are made of sustainable materials such as cotton fiber or rayon which have been chemically modified to result in their compatibility with water solutions containing salts. Cellulose-based polymers offer several advantages over traditional nonwovens including high salt tolerance, low-cost manufacturing process, lower porosity, and increased lifetime performance due to natural resistance against biological fouling agents like fungi. Moreover, cellular-based polymers have a backing layer for protection from external pollutants whereas nonwoven does not provide any protection by themselves. This makes these materials more susceptible to damage.
On the basis of Type, the global cellulose-based osmosis membrane market is segmented into Polysulfone, Polypropylene, and Polyacrylonitrile.
Polysulfone is the primary constituent of the cellulose-based osmosis membrane. It has great resistance to chemicals and solvents, making it the most preferred material for use in harsh environments. Owing to these properties, polysulfones are extensively used as filter membranes in petroleum refining processes such as hydrodesulfurization (HDS), hydrocracking, catalytic reforming, steam cracking, or fluidized bed gasification. Polysulfones have high strength, low water absorption, and corrosion resistance. The material can be produced to control gas diffusion properties and to modify the membrane’s porosity at various levels. This makes polysulfone membranes ideal for applications that require a balanced tradeoff between flux (the amount of fluid that flows through the membrane) and selectivity (how well it blocks certain fluids from passing through). They also exhibit excellent chemical stability, making them suitable for process streams where hydrocarbons are present in significant quantities.
The polypropylene osmosis membrane is a type of cellulose-based osmotic membrane. It is used in the creation of water desalination and for other industrial purposes such as wastewater treatment, pH control, gas scrubbing, organic solvent extraction, and air purification. Polypropylene cellulose-based osmosis membranes are biocompatible and can be used in most applications. The membrane has a high flux rate of water, but not salt or other solutes through it with the exception of large molecules like proteins which cannot go through the pores. This is because the pore size of these polymers is around 25 nm while protein sizes range from 500 to 1000nm.
Polyacrylonitrile or PAN for short is among the most commonly used materials in cellulose-based osmosis membrane because it has an ideal balance of properties: low fouling and high flux. Its density contributes to a similar distribution of pressures on both sides when immersed in water so that there are no differences between permeate flow rates and brine flows across the membrane. This design reduces energy consumption by minimizing pressure losses as well as preventing fouling from occurring.
On the basis of Application, the global cellulose-based osmosis membrane market is segmented into Petrochemical Industry, Electronics, and Medicine.
Cellulose-based polymer membranes have a wide range of applications in the petrochemical industry such as scrubbers for absorber flares or sulfur recovery units. These are often used when manufacturing ethylene from gas via the steam cracking process to reduce waste emissions. Membranes that can withstand high temperatures are needed because this application takes place at very high-temperature levels which could cause nonwoven material to degrade quickly and eventually fail. Petroleum refining also uses these membranes mainly during secondary extraction processes like fractional distillation where they act as oil/water separators since it has long pore lengths (0.25 microns) and high selectivity.
Cellulose-based osmosis membranes are used in the electronics industry for a variety of purposes. One such application is to take advantage of their high selectivity and pore sizes, which can be tailored specifically to meet particular needs. This is done by either adding or removing sizing agents from the membrane during manufacturing, allowing it to capture desired molecules from water while rejecting others.
Cellulose-based osmosis membranes are used in the medical field as a way to purify water, which is often needed for intravenous solutions. These membrane filters remove particles from the solution and can also be constructed with pores that will only allow certain molecules through while rejecting others. This makes them especially useful when trying to create sterile injection water or other types of sterilized fluids by removing potentially harmful bacteria such as E Coli.
On the basis of Region, the global cellulose-based osmosis membrane market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The global cellulose-based osmosis membrane market is segmented region-wise into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Among these regions, the U.S., which constitutes more than half of the total share in North America; followed by Brazil for Latin American countries is expected to be dominating the regional markets during the forecast period from 2021 to 2028 as well. The factors contributing towards this growth include increasing demand for organic products owing to rising awareness about sustainability among consumers coupled with rising pollution levels across different parts of the world has increased need for water conservation methods such as recycling wastewater or desalination techniques that require the use of membranes made out of renewable materials including cellulosic materials like paperboard pulp.
(i) Growing demand from industries such as petrochemical, electronics, and medicine.
(ii) Extensive usage in water treatment processes that require high flow rates.
(iii) Increasing government initiatives towards sustainable environment management which leads to increased investments in clean technology development.
(iv) The high cost associated with the raw materials used in this technology coupled with low efficiency has led many users to shift their focus towards other alternatives like polymer-based membranes which have better performance but are more expensive than conventional cellulosic ones.
