The Separation Of Proteins Via Charged Electromembrane Process, Chi-Wen Lin
Theses
A new method for separation and concentration of protein and other biocolloids such as hemoglobin and albumin was developed by a process called the charged electromembrane (CEM) process. The process is characterized by using a metallic membrane as a filter which can carry either positive or negative electric current.
The effect of various factors on the separation coefficient and filtration efficiency were investigated experimentally. These factors include strength of electric field, pH of colloidal solution, electric current through membrane filter and flow rate.
It was found out that the thickness of the gel layer formed on the membrane could be …
