Adsorption and Mass-Transfer Behaviors of Amino Acids in a Fixed Bed Packed with PVP Resin

초록

Since amino acids are used to synthesize proteins, they play important roles in the function of the human body. In order to separate amino acids, a fixed bed packed with PVP (poly-4-vinylpyridine) resin has been used previously. In this work, a series of moment analyses are used to investigate the adsorption and mass-transfer behaviors of some amino acids in a fixed bed packed with PVP (poly-4-vinylpyridine) resin. The experimental results will also be compared with the results from detailed rate-model simulations.
