Diffusion solution purification

Dialysis is attractive when the concentration differences for the main diffusing solutes are large and the permeability differences between those solutes and the other solutes and/or colloids is large. Although commercial applications of dialysis do not rival reverse osmosis and gas permeation, it has been applied to a number of important separation processes, such as purification of pharmaceuticals, production of a reduced-alcohol beer, and hemodialysis (described in detail in Example 1.3). [Pg.541]

Rate of protein transfer to or from a reverse micellar phase and factors affecting the rate are important for the practical applications of RME for the extraction and purification of proteins/enzymes and for scale-up. The mechanism of protein exchange between two immiscible phases (Fig. 2) can be divided into three steps [36] the diffusion of protein from bulk aqueous solution to the interface, the formation of a protein-containing micelle at the interface, and the diffusion of a protein-containing micelle in to the organic phase. The reverse steps are applicable for back transfer with the coalescence of protein-filled RM with the interface to release the protein. The overall mass transfer rate during an extraction processes will depend on which of these steps is rate limiting. [Pg.141]

One of the most common sources of contamination is the electrolyte since impurities in it would diffuse to the electrode and adhere to it during the course of the experiment. Impurities in the electrolyte can be reduced substantially by careful purification of solvent and solute. Distillation or ultrafiltration purifies water, the most common solvent. Usually solute materials can be bought in a very high purity, and whenever this is not the case, they can be cleaned by standard procedures such as recrystallization or calcination. Electrolysis of the electrolyte is also a common practice. Here, two sacrificial electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte and a potential is applied between them for about 36 hr in such a way that impurities are oxidized or reduced on their surfaces—the electrodes act as a garbage disposal thus the name of sacrificial electrodes. [Pg.67]

Purification of Solution. An approximate model for the purification of the solution can be developed by assuming that a stagnant melt initially contains an impurity at a uniform concentration, Cf°, and loss of dopant occurs by evaporation at the top surface. The rate of evaporation is assumed to be directly proportional to the difference in concentrations at the top surface and at equilibrium. If the proportionality constant is z, the diffusion coefficient of the impurity in the melt is D v and the depth of the melt is Z, then the following expression for the impurity concentration in the melt,... [Pg.123]

To a solution of tetrahydroxylamine in dichloromethane (300 mL) was added a solution of sodium periodate (2.45 g, 11.5 mmol) in water (500 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 1 h in the open air. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. Purification was performed by column chromatography [silica, hexane-Et20 (1 1—0 1)] followed by GPC and then recrystallized from CH2Cl2-hcxanc by a diffusion method in the dark. Compound 10a was obtained as a dark-blue microcrystalline solid... [Pg.348]

When looking for an economically feasible enzymatic system, retention and reuse of the biocatalyst should be taken into account as potential alternatives [98, 99]. Enzymatic membrane reactors (EMR) result from the coupling of a membrane separation process with an enzymatic reactor. They can be considered as reactors where separation of the enzyme from the reactants and products is performed by means of a semipermeable membrane that acts as a selective barrier [98]. A difference in chemical potential, pressure, or electric field is usually responsible from the movement of solutes across the membrane, by diffusion, convection, or electrophoretic migration. The selective membrane should ensure the complete retention of the enzyme in order to maintain the full activity inside the system. Furthermore, the technique may include the integration of a purification step in the process, as products can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by means of the selective membrane. [Pg.259]

In this technique, a hydrophobic polymer is dissolved in an organic solvent, such as chloroform, ethyl acetate, or methylene chloride and is emulsified in an aqueous phase containing a stabilizer (e.g., PVA). Just after formation of the nanoemulsion, the solvent diffuses to the external phase until saturation. The solvent molecules that reach the water-air interphase evaporate, which leads to continuous diffusion of the solvent molecules from the inner droplets of the emulsion to the external phase simultaneously, the precipitation of the polymer leads to the formation of nanospheres. The extraction of solvent from the nanodroplets to the external aqueous medium can be induced by adding an alcohol (e.g. isopropanol), thereby increasing the solubility of the organic solvent in the external phase. A purification step is required to assure the elimination of the surfactant in the preparation. This technique is most suitable for the encapsulation of lipophilic drugs, which can be dissolved in the polymer solution. [Pg.53]
