Abstract:
Bio-based industries need efficient downstream solutions to process complex streams. This was addressed through a technology integration approach, where expanded-bed adsorption (EBA) is integrated with simulated moving-bed (SMB) technology. Current work involved adaptation of an SMB apparatus and control principle to implement expanded-bed level control. As an outcome, EBA-SMB technology was successfully applied for purification of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This resulted in two-fold increase in productivity and a GABA purity ≥ 92 % in one step from unclarified fermentation broth, compared to ≥ 93 % purity in case of clarified broth and packed-bed SMB. These results proved that EBA-SMB technology is able to enhance process efficiency and economics of bioprocesses.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
