Bioseparations Engineering: Principles, Practice, and Economics
Michael R. Ladisch (Purdue Univ.)2001
Preface. Acknowledgements. Bioseparations. 1.0 Introduction. 1.1 The Manner in Which the Bioproduct Is Associated With the Cell or Organism Defines Its Initial Recovery Characteristics. 1.2 Physical Processing and Water Removal Steps Are Important Separation Methods for Large Volume Products. 1.3 Minimal Downstream Processing is Characteristic of Some Large Volume Extracellular Enzyme Products Used in the Food and Textile Industries. 1.4 There Are Three Major Categories of Bioproducts: Cells, Intracellular Products and Extracellular Products. 1.5 Recombinant Proteins Derived from E. coli Are Initially in the Form of Insoluble, Intracellular Inclusion Bodies. 1.6 The Unit Operations of Bioseparations Are Grouped Into Five Major Categories. 1.7 Bioinformatics Will Lead to Products Which Bioseparation Methods Must Purify. 1.8 Bioseparations Engineering Plays a Major Role In The Successful Development of Bioprocesses For The Manufacture of Therapeutic Molecules and Specialty Chemicals. Sedimentation, Centrifugation, and Filtration. 2.0 Introduction. 2.1 Solid/Liquid Separations by Sedimentation or Centrifugation are Based on Differences in Particle Size and Density. 2.2 Centrifugation Uses Mechanical Force to Amplify the Differences in Size and Density Between Wet Biological Materials and the Aqueous Media In Which the Solids are Found. 2.3 The Volumetric Rate of Clarified Supernatant is Maximized by a Large Density Difference and Low Viscosity. 2.4 Centrifuge Speed Is Limited By Stress In the Bowl's Wall and By Its Materials of Construction. 2.5 The Disc Stack Centrifuge Enables Continuous and Rapid Processing of Cell and Colloidal Suspensions. 2.6 A Decanter Centrifuge Is Less Efficient for Recovery of Micro-organisms Than a Disc Centrifuge. 2.7 Sterility, Containment and Heat from Mechanical Work Affect Design of Process Centrifuges. 2.8 Centrifuge Design for Biotechnology Processes Incorporates Cleaning-in-Place and Sterilization Capabilities. 2.9 Centrifuge Containment Is Necessary For Processing of Some Types of Biotechnology Products. 2.10 Filtration. 2.11 A Fluid's Superficial Velocity, or Flux, Through Filter Cake Is Proportional to A Permeability Coefficient Expressed in Units of Darcies. 2.12 Diatomaceous Earth and Perlites (Volcanic Rock) Serve to Enhance Permeability of Filter Cakes and Aid Filtration of Fermentation Broths. 2.13 Filtration for Streptomycin Recovery Requires Coagulation of the Mycelia and Addition of A Filter Aid. 2.14 Rotary Vacuum Filters Enable Continuous Filtration of Bioproducts Generated in Large Volumes of Fermentation Broth. 2.15 Penicillin G from Penicillium chrysogenum is Recovered by Rotary Filters Prior to Its Hydrolysis by Immobilized Penicillin Acylase. Membrane Separations. 3.0 Introduction. 3.1 Microfiltration Membranes Remove Particles Whose Sizes Range from 0.1 to 10 Microns. 3.2 Molecular Filtration by Ultrafiltration and Reverse Osmosis Utilizes Supported Membranes with Nanometer Sized Pores. 3.3 The Flux, jv, Through A Membrane Follows Darcy's Law When the Osmotic Pressure Difference Across the Membrane Is Small. 3.4 The Gibbs and van't Hoff Equations Provide A Basis For Calculating Estimates of Osmotic Pressures. 3.5 Dissociation of Salts in Aqueous Solutions Increases Osmotic Pressure. 3.6 Concentration Polarization Reduces Flux. 3.7 Flux Increases With Increasing Temperature and Fluid Velocity Across the Membrane's Surface. 3.8 Pore Occlusion And Concentration Polarization Can Be More Important Than Osmotic Pressure in Determining Flux For Membrane Filtration of Proteins. 3.9 Flux Equations Are Classified Into (i) Osmotic Pressure Dependent, (ii) Hydraulic Pressure Dependent, and (iii) Pressure Independent (Concentration Polarization) Regimes. 3.10 Dimensional Analysis of Momentum and Diffusive Transport Processes Enables Estimation of Flux From Membrane and Fluid Properties. 3.11 Solute Flux in Dialysis Is Based on A Concentration Gradient, Not A Pressure Gradient. Engineering Concepts of Membrane Applications. 3.12 Membrane Separations of Small Particles Utilize Fibrous or Particulate Depth Filters And Isotropic (Symmetric) Screen Filters. 3.13 Membranes Are Packaged in Flat Sheet or Hollow Fiber Cartridge Configurations. 3.14 The Pressure At Which Gas Flows Through a Wetted Membrane Gives A Measure of Its Pore Size (Bubble Point Test). 3.15 Sterilization of Human Plasma Proteins, Harvesting of Recombinant Microbial Cells, and Recovery of Cell Culture Products Are Applications of Microfiltration. 3.16 Aggregation of Proteins Promotes Membrane Fouling And Decreases Flux. 3.17 Dialysis and Evaporation or Reverse Osmosis Processes Remove Ethanol From Beer to Yield Beverages With Alcohol Content Reduced. Precipitation Crystallization, and Extraction. 4.0 Introduction. 4.1 Addition of Neutral Salts, or An Acid or Base to Aqueous Solutions Induces the Solute to Precipitate. 4.2 Alcohols Decrease Solvating Power of Water by Lowering the Dielectric Constant of the
