We examined the biodistribution of cationic liposomes/pDNA complex following intravenous injection in mice and pharmacokinetically analyzed the data based on the clearance concept (Mahato etal., 1995a, 1997). These analyses showed that the pharmacokinetics of 32P-pDNA complexes depend on their mixing (charge) ratio, the type of cationic and helper lipids (Mahato et al., 1998). When analyzed using radioactivity counting following the injection of the complex prepared with 32P-pDNA, the tissue uptake clearance per g...

The procedure for processing a given batch charge of mixture m (operation m), can be viewed as a sequence of NTm distillation tasks to produce one or more main-cuts, possibly some intermediate off-cuts and a final bottom residue or product (Figure 7.1). For a ternary mixture this can be represented in the form of a STN shown in Figure 7.2. Each state s is characterised by a name (e.g. Dl), an amount Ss (e.g. SDi) and a composition vector xs (e.g. xD1). The molar fraction of an individual component j in state 5 is denoted by The sets of external feed states, main-cuts and off-cuts states in operation m are defined as EFm, MPm, and OPm, respectively. For example, Figure 7.2 shows operation 1 for a ternary mixture distillation with NTt=4 tasks, EFj= F0, MPt= Dl, D2, Bf] and OP/=[Rl, R2. Several feed states could occur, for example in the preparation of a mixed charge or... 

Mayur et al. (1970) formulated a two level dynamic optimisation problem to obtain optimal amount and composition of the off-cut recycle for the quasi-steady state operation which would minimise the overall distillation time for the whole cycle. For a particular choice of the amount of off-cut and its composition (Rl, xRI) (Figure 8.1) they obtained a solution for the two distillation tasks which minimises the distillation time of the individual tasks by selecting an optimal reflux policy. The optimum reflux ratio policy is described by a function rft) during Task 1 when a mixed charge (BC, xBC) is separated into a distillate (Dl, x DI) and a residue (Bl, xBi), followed by a function r2(t) during Task 2, when the residue is separated into an off-cut (Rl, xR2) and a bottom product (B2, x B2)- Both r2(t)and r2(t) are chosen to minimise the time for the respective task. However, these conditions are not sufficient to completely define the operation, because Rl and xRI can take many feasible values. Therefore the authors used a sequential simplex method to obtain the optimal values of Rl and xR which minimise the overall distillation time. The authors showed for one example that the inclusion of a recycled off-cut reduced the batch time by 5% compared to the minimum time for a distillation without recycled off-cut. 

The necessity of the above discussion will now be realised (also see Christensen and Jorgensen, 1987). Figure 8.2 shows a quasi-steady state mode of operation, with off-cut recycle. A fresh charge BO, of composition xB0 is mixed with the off cut (Rl, xRi) from the previous batch to produce a mixed charge to the reboiler (BC, xBc) The main cut (Dl, x D]) is produced over the time // (Task 1), leaving a residue (B1, xbj). At this time the distillate is simply diverted to a second receiver, and further distillation in Task 2 for time t2 produces the off cut and the final bottom product (B2. x B2) where, B2 is the solution of Equations (8.1-8.4) as mentioned before. 

Liquid compositions of plates, condenser holdup tank and accumulator (differential variables) at time t=0 are set equal to the fresh charge composition (xB0) to the reboiler. It is also possible to set these values to mixed charge composition (xBC). Reboiler holdup and compositions were initialised to the mixed charge (BC, xBC) at each iteration of PO. Mujtaba and Macchietto (1988) and Mujtaba (1989) considered Type IV-CMH model for the process and the model was solved at time t=0 to initialise all other variables. The first product (D1, xD/) (see Figure 8.2) was drawn off starting from t = 0. For the second distillation task no re-initialisation was required. The distillate was simply diverted to a different product accumulator and integration was continued. 

Referring to Figure 8.2 and given a batch charge (BO, xB0)> a desired amount of distillate DI of specified purity x D1 and final bottom product B2 of specified purity x b2 Mujtaba (1989) determined the amount and composition of the off-cut (Rl, x R1) and the reflux rate policy r(t) which minimised the overall distillation time. In this formulation instead of optimising Rl, xR1) the mixed charge to the reboiler (Bc, xBC) was optimised and at the end of the solution the optimal (Rl, x RI) was evaluated from the overall balance around the mixer in Figure 8.2. The dynamic optimisation problem is formulated as ...
