One-step separation and collection for pharmaceutical industry (ARC Linkage Project administered by Queensland University of Technology) (2025-2029)
Abstract
This project aims to design and manufacturing large-scale separation and collection membranes with tuneable surface properties to achieve effective oil/emulsion/microparticles separation and collection performance by learning from natural one-step separation and collection functionalities. The outcomes will provide a realistic solution to the key challenges in separation and separation demands in current pharmaceutical industries, including high contamination, easy blocking, low-efficiency, and lacking sustainability. This project will advance the knowledge base of sustainable separation technologies and brings technological breakthroughs to industry partners, pharmaceutical industries, and separation end-users.
