  • 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.

  • Removal of Waterborne Particles by Electrofiltration: Pilot-Scale Testing

DOI: 10.1089=ees.2009.0238 Removal of Waterborne Particles by Electrofiltration: Pilot-Scale Testing Ying Li,1 Ray Ehrhard,1 Pratim Biswas,1,* Pramod Kulkarni,2 Keith Carns,3 Craig Patterson,4 Radha Krishnan,5 and Rajib Sinha5 1Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri. 2Center for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Cincinnati, Ohio. 3Global Energy Partners, LLC, Oakhurst, California. 4Office of Research and Development, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, Ohio. 5Shaw Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio. 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.

  • Advancing Electrodeionization with Conductive Ionomer Binders That
    www.nature.com/npjcleanwater ARTICLE OPEN Advancing electrodeionization with conductive ionomer binders that immobilize ion-exchange resin particles into porous wafer substrates ✉ ✉ Varada Menon Palakkal 1,3, Lauren Valentino 2,3, Qi Lei 1, Subarna Kole1, Yupo J. Lin 2 and Christopher G. Arges 1 Electrodeionization (EDI) is an electrically driven separations technology that employs ion-exchange membranes and resin particles. Deionization occurs under the influence of an applied electric field, facilitating continuous regeneration of the resins and supplementing ionic conductivity. While EDI is commercially used for ultrapure water production, material innovation is required for improving desalination performance and energy efficiency for treating alternative water supplies. This work reports a new class of ion-exchange resin-wafers (RWs) fabricated with ion-conductive binders that exhibit exceptional ionic conductivities—a3–5-fold improvement over conventional RWs that contain a non-ionic polyethylene binder. Incorporation into an EDI stack (RW-EDI) resulted in an increased desalination rate and reduced energy expenditure compared to the conventional RWs. The water-splitting phenomenon was also investigated in the RW in an external experimental setup in this work. Overall, this work demonstrates that ohmic resistances can be substantially curtailed with ionomer binder RWs at dilute salt concentrations. npj Clean Water (2020) 3:5 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41545-020-0052-z 1234567890():,; INTRODUCTION EDI stack is more thermodynamically efficient for removing ions in 10 Electrochemical separations, which primarily consist of electrodia- the more challenging dilute concentration regime. lysis (ED), electrodeionization (EDI), and membrane capacitive A drawback of conventional EDI is the utilization of loose resin deionization (MCDI/CDI),1 are a subset of technologies primarily beads that foster inconsistent process performance, stack leakage, used for deionization and other water treatment processes.

  • Wastewater Treatment by Electrodialysis System and Fouling Problems
    The Online Journal of Science and Technology - January 2016 Volume 6, Issue 1 WASTEWATER TREATMENT BY ELECTRODIALYSIS SYSTEM AND FOULING PROBLEMS Elif OZTEKIN, Sureyya ALTIN Bulent Ecevit University, Department of Environmental Engineering, Zonguldak-Turkey [email protected], VDOWÕQ#NDUDHOPDVHGXWU Abstract: Electrodialysis ED is a separation process commercially used on a large scale for production of drinking water from water bodies and treatment of industrial effluents (Ruiz and et al., 2007). ED system contains ion exchange membranes and ions are transported through ion selective membranes from one solution to another under the influence of electrical potential difference used as a driving force. ED has been widely used in the desalination process and recovery of useful matters from effluents. The performance of ED, depends on the operating conditions and device structures such as ion content of raw water, current density, flow rate, membrane properties, feed concentration, geometry of cell compartments (Chang and et al., 2009, Mohammadi and et al., 2004). The efficiency of ED systems consist in a large part on the properties of the ion exchange membranes. Fouling of ion exchange membranes is one of the common problems in ED processes (Lee and et al., 2009, Ruiz and et al., 2007). Fouling is basically caused by the precipitation of foulants such as organics, colloids and biomass on the membrane surface or inside the membrane and fouling problem reduces the transport of ions. The fouling problems are occasion to increase membrane resistance, loss in selectivity of the membranes and affect negatively to membrane performance (Lee and et al., 2002, Lindstrand and et al., 2000a, Lindstrand and et al., 2000b).

The RO system, with an effective membrane area of 1.1 m2, was operated using tap water with conductivity of 64 µs·cm−1, and the CEDI system experiments were carried out in a cell-pair stack consisting of 3 com- partments. During the parametric study of the RO-CEDI hybrid system, the optimal operating conditions were deter- mined based on the water purity. The electrical resistivity and water dissociation of the ion exchange resins and ion exchange membrane were verified as the key mechanisms of the CEDI system in the water purification. The produced water met the quality requirements as a make-up water in a nuclear power plant with a resistivity of 10-16.7 MΩ·cm.
