Adsorption stress

The loss of native protein by adsorption to surfaces is problematic in biopharma-ceutical applications. Proteins are able to adsorb at liquid/gas, liquid/solid and liquid/liquid interfaces due to their amphiphilic property. Adsorption stress can occur in the vessel of the feed protein solution, and at the liquid/gas interface between the sprayed droplets and the hot air. Adsorption to the vessel wall is assumed to be practically negligible, whereas the adsorption at the liquid/gas interface may lead to substantial degradation because of the strong increase in the liquid/gas [Pg.270]


For the experiments referred to in Fig. 4.25(a), McEnaney was able to show, on reasonable assumptions, that the stress induced by adsorption swelling should be sufficient to fracture the carbon over short distances. A memory effect in the carbon network would lead to trapping of some adsorbed carbon tetrachloride molecules during the desorption run. [Pg.236]

It would be difficult to over-estimate the extent to which the BET method has contributed to the development of those branches of physical chemistry such as heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption or particle size estimation, which involve finely divided or porous solids in all of these fields the BET surface area is a household phrase. But it is perhaps the very breadth of its scope which has led to a somewhat uncritical application of the method as a kind of infallible yardstick, and to a lack of appreciation of the nature of its basic assumptions or of the circumstances under which it may, or may not, be expected to yield a reliable result. This is particularly true of those solids which contain very fine pores and give rise to Langmuir-type isotherms, for the BET procedure may then give quite erroneous values for the surface area. If the pores are rather larger—tens to hundreds of Angstroms in width—the pore size distribution may be calculated from the adsorption isotherm of a vapour with the aid of the Kelvin equation, and within recent years a number of detailed procedures for carrying out the calculation have been put forward but all too often the limitations on the validity of the results, and the difficulty of interpretation in terms of the actual solid, tend to be insufficiently stressed or even entirely overlooked. And in the time-honoured method for the estimation of surface area from measurements of adsorption from solution, the complications introduced by... [Pg.292]

The two steps in the removal of a particle from the Hquid phase by the filter medium are the transport of the suspended particle to the surface of the medium and interaction with the surface to form a bond strong enough to withstand the hydraulic stresses imposed on it by the passage of water over the surface. The transport step is influenced by such physical factors as concentration of the suspension, medium particle size, medium particle-size distribution, temperature, flow rate, and flow time. These parameters have been considered in various empirical relationships that help predict filter performance based on physical factors only (8,9). Attention has also been placed on the interaction between the particles and the filter surface. The mechanisms postulated are based on adsorption (qv) or specific chemical interactions (10). [Pg.276]

Materials of Construction. GeneraHy, carbon steel is satisfactory as a material of construction when handling propylene, chlorine, HCl, and chlorinated hydrocarbons at low temperatures (below 100°C) in the absence of water. Nickel-based aHoys are chiefly used in the reaction area where resistance to chlorine and HCl at elevated temperatures is required (39). Elastomer-lined equipment, usuaHy PTFE or Kynar, is typicaHy used when water and HCl or chlorine are present together, such as adsorption of HCl in water, since corrosion of most metals is excessive. Stainless steels are to be avoided in locations exposed to inorganic chlorides, as stainless steels can be subject to chloride stress-corrosion cracking. Contact with aluminum should be avoided under aH circumstances because of potential undesirable reactivity problems. [Pg.34]

According to the concepts, given in the paper [7], a significant difference between the values of yield stress of equiconcentrated dispersions of mono- and polydisperse polymers and the effect of molecular weight of monodisperse polymers on the value of yield stress is connected with the specific adsorption on the surface of filler particles of shorter molecules, so that for polydisperse polymers (irrespective of their average molecular weight) this is the layer of the same molecules. At the same time, upon a transition to a number of monodisperse polymers, properties of the adsorption layer become different. [Pg.79]

The situation becomes most complicated in multicomponent systems, for example, if we speak about filling of plasticized polymers and solutions. The viscosity of a dispersion medium may vary here due to different reasons, namely a change in the nature of the solvent, concentration of the solution, molecular weight of the polymer. Naturally, here the interaction between the liquid and the filler changes, for one, a distinct adsorption layer, which modifies the surface and hence the activity (net-formation ability) of the filler, arises. Therefore in such multicomponent systems in the general case we can hardly expect universal values of yield stress, depending only on the concentration of the filler. Experimental data also confirm this conclusion [13],... [Pg.80]

The distinctive properties of densely tethered chains were first noted by Alexander [7] in 1977. His theoretical analysis concerned the end-adsorption of terminally functionalized polymers on a flat surface. Further elaboration by de Gennes [8] and by Cantor [9] stressed the utility of tethered chains to the description of self-assembled block copolymers. The next important step was taken by Daoud and Cotton [10] in 1982 in a model for star polymers. This model generalizes the... [Pg.33]

The concepts of interface rheology are derived from the rheology of three-dimensional phases. Characteristic for the interface rheology is the coupling of the motions of an interface with the flow processes in the bulk close to the interface. Thus, in interface rheology the shear and dilatational stresses of the interface are in equilibrium with the corresponding shear stress in the bulk. An important feature is the compressibility of the adsorption layer of an interface in contrast, the flow elements of the bulk are incompressible. As a result, compression or dilatation of the adsorption layer of a soluble surfactant is associated with desorption and adsorption processes by which the interface tends to reinstate the adsorption equilibrium with the bulk phase. [Pg.184]
