Investigations on cephalosporin C adsorption kinetics and equilibria
1Effem, Verden, FRG.
Abstract:
The kinetics and equilibria of cephalosporin C adsorption on different commercial adsorbents were investigated. Adsorption isotherms could be analysed according to the Brunauer, Emmett and Teller theory. For the interpretation of adsorption kinetics it was necessary to develop a more complex model comprising both a rapid and a slower step. An integrated approach combining kinetics and equilibria allowed for simulation of the experimental data and can be used as a basis for predicting technical approaches such as fluidized-bed technology.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Michaelis-Menten Equation
Vmax represents the maximum achievable process rate, while KM, known as the Michaelis constant, signifies the drug concentration at which the process rate reaches half its maximum. This relationship between Vmax, KM, and Cp gives rise to three distinct...
