Eq. (15) and 1.1 10- 7 m2/s according to Eq. (14). This significant difference may be explained by the fact, the Kang et al. used particles of uniform size whereas van der Meer et al. measured dispersion between two fractions of different particle size in a segregated fluidized bed. As adsorption in a frontal mode is performed using classified or otherwise stabilized fluidized beds, the lower Daxp resulting from van der Meer s correlation may be a better description of the solid phase dispersion in a fluidized bed for protein adsorption.

Stable expanded-bed operations promise the ability to handle whole broths efficiently, all the while maintaining plug-flow characteristics. Magnetically stabilized fluidized beds have been shown to work effectively for bioproduct separations, but are not yet used commercially. A commercially available process uses well-designed beads of appropriate densities and sizes to enable bed fluidization and stable operation without appreciable recirculation. 

In an isolation step, where yield and concentration are more important than purity, the adsorption mechanism can be considered an on/off process, and several alternative contacting schemes can be used. Ligands have been bound to magnetized particles (137, 138) for continuous countercurrent adsorption in magnetically stabilized fluidized beds. Ligands attached to liquid perfluorocarbons (143), to dextran and related polymers (144), or incorporated into liposomes (145), or reversed micelles (146) may be used for biospecific liquid-liquid extraction or "affinity partitioning". Ligands have also been attached to surfactants and biopolymers for selective precipitation of dilute protein species (147, 148).

A mathematical analysis of a crossflow magnetically stabilized fluidized bed chromatograph has been presented (14). The geometry of this system is similar to the rotating annular chromatograph and therefore the modeling approach is quite similar to that reported here. A parametric sensitivity study was conducted and the results indicated that the extent of band broadening was most sensitive to two factors. These factors were the external resistance to mass transfer and the width of the feed band. 

Recently, continuous production of daizein and genstein from soybean in a magnetically stabilized fluidized bed bioreactor was reported [163]. Brodelius [164] previously demonstrated the use of plant cells in MSFB bioreactor.
