Estimation of mass transport parameters in a column packed with BioSep beads

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Abstract

An approach to estimate the parameters needed to describe the performance of a column packed with BioSepTM beads is presented. These parameters, which characterize the transport of materials through the column, have been estimated from experimental residence time distribution (RTD) data using both porous and non-porous beads. A laboratory-scale column was used to obtain the experimental data using several ionic species. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998
