3) A pilot-plant Podbielniak centrifugal extractor operating at 11,400 x g (this is G₁) is capable
of processing 500 mL/min of filtered fermentation broth and 125 mL/min organic solvent, giving
a recovery of 95%. The rotating cylinder inside the extractor has a diameter of 20 cm and is 2.5
cm wide. You need to scale up this extraction by using a larger Podbielniak extractor that has a
diameter of 91 cm and width of 91 cm and delivers 2,300 x g (G2). What flow rates (in L/min)
should be used in the larger extractor to achieve the same recovery efficiency?
7) You are tasked with separating two proteins by ion exchange chromatography on a 30 cm long
column with an inner diameter of 2 cm. The resin has a diameter of 100 μm and a void fraction
of 0.3, and your mobile phase flows through the column at a rate of Q = 5 cm³/min. The Van
Deemter coefficients A, B, and C have been determined to be 0.0228 cm, 0.0036 cm²/min, and
0.00053 min, respectively, for both proteins. Protein A elutes from the column with an average
retention time of 27 min and standard deviation of 0.8 min. Protein B elutes from the column.
with an average retention time of 33.8 min and standard deviation of 1.0.
a) How many theoretical plates does the column contain?
b) What flow rate (Q) will give you the maximum resolution?
c) What is the minimum height of a theoretical plate for the system?

5) You are asked to design a moving bed adsorption process using two columns (see the figure
below). Your feed contains 100 mg/L protein and flows through both columns at 4 m³/h. Fresh
resin enters the bottom of both columns (resin does not flow from the bottom column to the top
column). The maximum resin flow rate that your pumps can comfortably handle is 120 kg
resin/h. Experimental data suggest that the adsorption equilibrium can be modeled as qi=4ci
where qi is in g protein/kg resin and c; is in g protein/L broth. (Pay attention with units!)
a) What is the lowest concentration of proteins that you could get in the effluent
from column 1 (indicated by the *) in mg/L? (Hint: set up a mass balance)
0.25

b) What should be the flow rate of resin (in kg/h) into the second column (B2) if
your overall process needs to remove 99% of the protein?

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
