10g of BSA is eluted from an 80 litre Sephadex column which has a void fraction of 0.4. The concentration in the column peaks after 470 litres are eluted and the maximum concentration is 1.8% of that originally in the column. Estimate a) The equilibrium constant for binding the albumin to the sephadex b) The number of stages in the column c) The concentration profile in the column.

7.a)

b)

Pichia pastoris fermentation broth has to be clarified for separating cells and clear liquid using microfiltration. In laboratory microfiltration of membrane are 120 sq.cm, 10 ml/min permeate flux was obtained. Calculate the flux in LMH and membrane area required for processing 10,000 litres in one shift of 8 hrs.

8.

Pencillin F is to be extracted from clarified fermentation broth using amyl acetate as solvent at pH 4.0. The distribution coefficient of the system was found to be 32. The initial concentration of pencillin in the feed is 400 mg/l. The flow rates of feed and solvent stram was 500 l/h and 30 l/h respectively. a) How many ideal stages (Counter current contact) are required to recover 97% pencillin in the feed. b) If you use 3 counter current stages what will be the percent recovery? c) If you use 3 cross current stages with equal solvent flow rate of 10 l/h in each, what will be recover percent? ******
