Expanded bed adsorption prevents bed clogging by characterizing biomass/adsorbent interactions. Zeta potential measurements accurately predict stable expanded bed formation for efficient bioprocessing.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemical Engineering
  • Separation Science
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Expanded bed adsorption (EBA) enables direct processing of particle-containing feedstocks, crucial for bioseparations.
  • Preventing adsorbent bed clogging by suspended biomass is essential for EBA process design.
  • Electrostatic forces significantly influence interactions between biomass and adsorbent materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and quantify electrostatic interactions between various biomass types and ion exchangers in EBA.
  • To identify key parameters predicting stable expanded bed formation.
  • To establish a predictive model for biomass/adsorbent interactions in EBA systems.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic measurement of zeta potentials for different biomass (yeast, E. coli) and ion exchangers under varying conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Zeta potential effectively characterizes biomass/adsorbent electrostatic interactions.
    • The combined parameter (-zeta(a)zeta(b)d) accurately predicts biomass/adsorbent interactions in EBA.
    • A threshold value of 120 mV²µm for (-zeta(a)zeta(b)d) ensures >90% cell transmission, indicating stable bed formation.

    Conclusions:

    • The parameter (-zeta(a)zeta(b)d) serves as a reliable indicator for designing stable EBA systems.
    • Understanding electrostatic interactions via zeta potential is critical for optimizing EBA processes.
    • This study provides a quantitative approach to prevent bed clogging and ensure efficient bioseparations in EBA.
