- 6) Instead of moving bed adsorption, you decide to try fixed bed adsorption with a different resin for removal of your protein. Your column is 25 cm long with an inner diameter of 5 cm. The resin packed in the column has a density of 1.5 g/cm³ and a void fraction of 0.25. Equilibrium data suggests that the protein binding to the column follows a Langmuir isotherm with an Stot = 6.25 g protein/kg resin and Keq = 2.58 L broth/g protein. The feed contains 100 mg/L protein and flows through the column at 500 mL/h. The calculated binding capacity of the column under these conditions is 945 mg protein. a) After 17.7 h, you detect an unacceptable level of protein in the column effluent. What is the length of unused bed? b) After deciding that this process will work well for separation, you need to scale up to a 1 m long column with the same diameter. If all else but length of the column is held constant, how long will you be able to run the column before breakthrough?arrow_forward2) A bioprocess stream contains two components: 60 g/L A (the desired bioproduct) and 40 g/L B (a contaminant). The partition coefficients in an extraction process are KA = 14.0 and KB = 0.5. If the stream is fed into a 5-stage countercurrent extractor at 25 L/min and solvent enters at 5 L/min, calculate the amount of each component in the extract phase at the outlet of the extractor.arrow_forwardWhat flow rate (Q, in L/min) will give the maximum resolution if you scale up the process in problem 7 to a column with a diameter of 50 cm? (Use the conditions in the problem statement, not the optimal flow conditions calculated in the problem).arrow_forward
- You are asked to separate two proteins via size exclusion chromatography. Your column is 5 cm in diameter and 25 cm in length. You add 50 g (dry weight) of Sephacryl gel (density = 1.25 g/cm³) to the column. The volume outside of the gel and pores is 77 cm³. The column operates at a flow rate of 1 mL/min to not compress the resin. The average retention times of proteins A and B are 244.5 and 273 min, respectively. Under the given conditions, you calculate that there are 1600 theoretical plates in the column. (This problem continues onto the next page). a) What is the volume inside of the pores? b) What are the elution limits of this system (i.e., what re the minimum and maximum volumes that particles will elute in)? c) What are the gel partition coefficients of proteins A and B for this system? d) What are the peak widths for both proteins? e) Assuming the peak widths are 22 mL and 28 mL for proteins A and B, respectively (these values are not necessarily correct), what is the…arrow_forward1) Indicate whether each statement below is True or False: a) In extractions, small proteins usually end up in the heavy phase. b) In extractions, large proteins usually end up in the heavy phase. c) Tie line length on a phase diagram has no effect on protein partitioning. d) For extraction, we assume that each stage reaches equilibrium. e) Isotherms that are concave down lead to self-sharpening solute fronts in adsorption. f) When scaling up an adsorption unit, the LUB scales proportionally with adsorber length. g) For chromatography, separation efficiency increases when HETP increases. h) In size exclusion chromatography, smaller molecules elute from the column first. i) In hydrophobic interaction chromatography, very hydrophobic proteins elute in water. j) Molecules at very high concentrations elute from the column as a perfect Gaussian peak. k) In chromatography scale-up, resolution will increase as column diameter increases. 1) A good adsorbent typically has no porosity. m)…arrow_forwardChemical Engineering Use the psychrometric chart and demonstrate the linear interpolation method to obtain -0.52 KJ/KgDA. This is the enthalpy deviation. The exercise is uploaded below.arrow_forward
- Chemical Engineering Use the psychrometric chart. The remaining curves on the psychrometric chart are almost vertical and convex to the left, with labeled values (on Figure 8.4-1) of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and so on. (The units of these numbers arekJ/kg DA). Thesecurves are usedto determine theenthalpyof humid air that is not saturated. The procedure is as follows: (a) locate the point on the chart corresponding to air at its specified condition; (b) interpolate to estimate the enthalpy deviation at this point; (c) follow the constant wet-bulb temperature line to the enthalpy scale above the saturation curve, read the value on that scale, and add the enthalpy deviation to it. Also, you will see the exercise on the piece of paper.arrow_forwardCalculate the permeability of the bed of ion-exchange particles in Example 11.1.arrow_forwardchemical engineering problemarrow_forward
