Application of an external dc (direct current) electric force …eld across the membrane is a promising method to reduce fouling and concentration polarization. The electric …eld imposes an electrophoretic force on the charged proteins, which drags them away from the membrane surface. The concentration polarization layer is thereby reduced and the ‡ux increases. The solvent ‡ow through the membrane might also be enhanced by the electroosmotic e¤ect; but this e¤ect is considered secondary. In this Industrial PhD project, cross‡ow electro-ultra…ltration (EUF) is car- ried out with enzyme solutions from Novozymes A/S, Denmark. The aim is to investigate the use of EUF in industrial application. Five di¤erent enzymes have been tested including two amylase solutions where the application of an electric …eld across the membrane resulted in a sig- ni…cant ‡ux enhancement. The other three solutions, which consisted of a lipase and two proteases, did not show any ‡ux improvements during EUF, mainly due to a low surface charge of the enzymes and impurities in the solutions. The relative ‡ux improvement increases as the enzyme concentration in- creases. The ‡ux increases around 6-7 times at a concentration of around 100 g/L. EUF is therefore applicable as a …nal concentration step during enzyme production. The e¤ect of a pulsed electric …eld has also been tested, but showed no improvement compared to a constant electric …eld due to the quick formation of the concentration polarization layer. The e¤ect of the trans membrane pressure (TMP) and cross‡ow velocity has also been studied. An increased TMP and cross‡ow velocity did not improve the ‡ux considerably -since the process is controlled by the strength of the electric …eld. A study of the conductivity of the enzyme solutions showed that the ‡ux in EUF is not a¤ected by conductivities up to around 3 mS/cm. Energy calculations show that EUF is economically pro…table when …ltering solutions of high enzyme concentration if the conductivity of the solution is low. In case the enzyme concentration is low UF is more cost-e¢ cient. The conductivity is however a key factor for the economical feasibility of the EUF process; since the energy requirements increases proportional to the conductivity of the enzyme solution. If the conductivity becomes too high, the advantage of using EUF disappears. Dansk resume Fouling og koncentrationspolarisation er velkendte problemer i cross‡ow ul- tra…ltrering af proteiner. Påtrykning af et eksternt elektrisk felt hen over mem- branen er en lovende metode til reduktion af fouling og koncentrationspolar- isation. Det elektriske felt introducerer en elektroforetisk kraft på de ladede proteiner, som derved bliver trukket væk fra membranover‡aden. Koncentra- tionspolarisationslaget bliver derved reduceret og ‡uxen stiger. Solvent ‡owet igennem membranen kan også stige pga. den elektroosmotiske e¤ekt, men denne e¤ekt bliver betragtet som sekundær. I dette ErhvervsPhD-projekt er der udført cross‡ow elektro-ultra…ltrering (EUF) med enzymopløsninger fra Novozymes A/S, Danmark. Formålet er at undersøge industriel anvendelse af elektro-ultra…ltrering. Fem forskellige enzymer er blevet testet herunder to amylaseopløsninger, hvor påtrykning af et elektrisk felt hen over membranen resulterede i en signi…kant ‡ux forbedring. De andre tre opløsninger, som bestod af en lipase og to proteaser, viste ikke nogen ‡ux stigning ved EUF, hovedsageligt fordi enzymerne har en lille over‡adeladning og pga. urenheder i opløsningerne. Den relative ‡ux forbedring stiger med stigende enzymkoncentration. Fluxen stiger ca. 6-7 gange ved en koncentration på omkring 100 g/L. EUF er derfor anvendelig som et sidste koncentrationstrin i en enzymproduktion. E¤ekten af et pulserende elektrisk felt er også blevet testet, men viste ingen forbedring sammenlignet med et konstant elektrisk felt, da koncentrationspolarisationslaget hurtigt bliver gendannet. E¤ekten af det transmembrane tryk (TMP) og cross‡ow hastigheden er også blevet undersøgt. Øgning af TMP og cross‡ow hastigheden forbedrede ikke ‡uxen betragteligt -da processen er kontrolleret af det elektriske felts styrke. Et studie af enzymopløsningernes ledningsevnen viste at ‡uxen i EUF ikke er påvirket af en ledningsevne op til omkring 3 mS/cm. Energiberegninger viser at EUF er en økonomisk fordel når opløsninger med en høj enzymkoncentration og lav ledningsevne bliver …ltreret. Hvis enzymkon- centrationen er lav er omkostningerne ved UF lavere. Ledningsevnen er en væsentlig parameter for den økonomiske gennemførlighed af EUF processen, da energibehovet stiger proportionalt med ledningsevnen af enzymopløsningen. Hvis ledningsevnen bliver for høj forsvinder fordelene ved at bruge EUF.

  • Fractionation of Proteins with Two-Sided Electro-Ultrafiltration
    Journal of Biotechnology 128 (2007) 895–907 Fractionation of proteins with two-sided electro-ultrafiltration Tobias Kappler¨ ∗, Clemens Posten University of Karlsruhe, Institute of Engineering in Life Sciences, Division Bioprocess Engineering, Kaiserstr. 12, Geb. 30.70, 76128 Karlsruhe, Germany Received 7 June 2006; received in revised form 22 December 2006; accepted 2 January 2007 Abstract Downstream processing is a major challenge in bioprocess industry due to the high complexity of bio-suspensions itself, the low concentration of the product and the stress sensitivity of the valuable target molecules. A multitude of unit operations have to be joined together to achieve an acceptable purity and concentration of the product. Since each of the unit operations leads to a certain product loss, one important aim in downstream-research is the combination of different separation principles into one unit operation. In the current work a dead-end membrane process is combined with an electrophoresis operation. In the past this concept has proven successfully for the concentration of biopolymers. The present work shows that using different ultrafiltration membranes in a two-sided electro-filter apparatus with flushed electrodes brought significant enhancement of the protein fractionation process. Due to electrophoretic effects, the filtration velocity could be kept on a very high level for a long time, furthermore, the selectivity of a binary separation process carried out exemplarily for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme (LZ) could be greatly increased; in the current case up to a value of more than 800. Thus the new two-sided electro-ultrafiltration technique achieves both high product purity and short separation times.

Received: July 6, 2009 Accepted in revised form: October 20, 2009 Abstract Theoretical analysis using a trajectory approach indicated that in the presence of an external electric field, charged waterborne particles are subject to an additional migration velocity that increases their deposition on the surface of collectors (e.g., sand filter). Although researchers conducted bench-scale experiments to verify the effectiveness of electrofiltration, few studies have reported on the applications of electrofiltration in larger scale facilities. In this study, a prototype pilot-scale electrofiltration unit, consisting of an acrylic tank (0.3Â0.3Â1.2 m) with vertically placed stainless steel mesh electrodes embedded in a sand filter was tested at a local drinking water plant. Presedimentation basin water was used as the influent with a turbidity ranging from 12 to 37 NTU. At an approach velocity of 0.84 mm=s, an electrode voltage at 8 and 12 V increased the particle removal coefficient pC* [defined as Àlog(Cout=Cin)] to 1.79 and 1.86, respectively, compared to 1.48 when there was no electric field.

The permeate was enriched with arginine and lysine of negative electrophoretic mobility, while the retentate was enriched with the amino acid characterized by the lowest pl value, aspartic acid. A model which assumes no retention of amino acids by ultrafiltration (UF) membranes describes rea- sonably weil their transmission to the permeate. The peptide mixture permeate was enriched with peptides which were either positively or negatively charged according to the electric field direction. The effect was significant even under low electric field. The model did not quantily satisfactorily the experi- mental transmission probably because of significant retention of sorne peptides by the ultrafiltration mem- branes. The present study shows that electrofiltration (EF) may be a useful and efficient process for achieving selective separation of charged biological molecules provided that further work is aimed at a better understanding of which mechanisms rule the retention in EF and of the effect of process vari- ables (flux, electric field, conductivity, charge of the molecules).

One important aspect of modern drying technology consists in the integration of the process steps before and behind the thermal dryer to gain an overall optimal process design. Thus the mechanical liquid separation as an important process step, which is located upstream the thermal dryer and should be discussed here in more detail. The thermal drying procedures are not discussed further on in this chapter. As a rule the thermal methods are usually quite energy-intensive compared with the mechanical liquid separation because they require a phase transition from the liquid to the gaseous aggregate state and the appropriate vaporization enthalpy must be raised.

    1 ELECTROPHORESIS Electrophoresis is a general term that describe the migration and separation of charge particles under the influence of an electric field. The particle may be simple ions, complex macromolecules and colloids or particulate matter- either living cells such as bacteria or inert material such as oil emulsion, droplet and clay. If a foreign phase which is charge, is subjected to a potential gradient, the foreign phase will migrate through the continuous medium to the cathode or anode according to the sign of charge on the particles. This phenomenon is called electrophoresis. Migration can occur also in a non-uniform alternative current, provided the particles are polarisable, and its transport phenomenon is called dielectrophoresis. Some of the techniques result in complete separation of the component into distinct zone, this is referred to as zone electrophoresis. Electrophoresis is the most useful separation techniques for the analysis and characterization of complex biological mixture of protein. The analysis of protein mixture was first established by Tiselius in 1937. His separation of serum proteins into four major component are serum albumin , alpha, beta and gama- globulins. Electrophoresis is to relate the experimentally measurable electrophoretic velocity to move fundamental parameter of ions interactions, charge and structure in the neighbourhood of charge particles or surface. The theory of the electric double layer deals with these parameters and is necessitated by the colloidal particle create their own ionic environment, being much larger and having a higher charge than small ions. The most useful criterion for classification is whether electrophoresis is carried out in free solution or non supporting media.
