Filtration types

Type C filtering coarse materials mercury filtration. Type M gas dispersion salt bridges Type F salt bridges. 

In the filtration-type methods (the first three techniques listed above), components accumulate as a steady-state (polarization) layer at a barrier or membrane [4] this occurs in much the same way as in field-flow fractionation or equilibrium sedimentation. However, there are several complications. First, fresh solute is constantly brought into the layer by the flow of liquid toward and through the filter. This steady influx of solute components can be described by a finite flux density term J0. Second, components can be removed from the outer reaches of the layer by stirring. Third, the membrane or barrier may be leaky and thus allow the transmission of a portion of the solute, profoundly affecting the attempted separation. In fact, one reason for our interest in layer structure is that leakiness depends on the magnitude of the solute buildup at the membrane surface. As solute concentration at the surface increases, more solute partitions into the membrane and is carried on through by flow. 

Aaltonen et al. (61) compared RRA and RIA for atropine. These workers obtained preparations of receptor from rat brain and lyophilized them to a stable, dry form, They used the tritium-labeled quinuclidinyl benzilate at 35 Ci/mmol. The affinity constant was 0.48 nM, and by analysis of 25- xL serum samples they could obtain a sensitivity down to 1.25 ng/mL in serum. Nonspecific binding was again quite reasonable (4%) and a filtration-type separation was used. The d isomer of an atropine did not bind, and therefore, the cross-reaction of the d,l compound was 50% that of the ( isomer. For comparison they used RIA developed by the method of Virtanen et al, (37). The immunogen was an /-hyoscyamine-bovine serum albumin conjugate, but the antiserum was sensitive to both d,l and I isomers. Racemic tritium-labeled atropine was used as the radioligand. 

The new advances in the development of novel technologies in PEM electrolyzers are based on the filtration-type configuration that has been conceived in the late 1970s. Before 1975, the PEM... 

Fruit juice clarification by pectinases and cellulases is another interesting application. In the conventional process after the enzymatic reaction in the pulp treatment step takes place, filtration over diatomaceous earth follows. This filtration-type process produces a lot of solid waste, and results in costly enzyme loss. MBR are appropriate for such application either for enzyme recovery and recycle or in the form of a more compact CMR type system, with the biocatalyst immobilized on the membrane itself [4.58].

These geometries are particularly appealing for filtration-type applications, in sensors, and in highly effective composite design. But, at least for the present, the fahrication routes for these more exotic nanofiher-hased constructs remain too expensive for high-volume applications. Most have yet to he moved out of the laboratory into pilot-plant scale before their viability in volume applications can be meaningfully discussed.
