Project: Selective biosurfactant separation by a continuous foam stripping operation
Foam fractionation is a useful surfactant separation technique. Simple and
economical it offers an attractive approach to provide a crude
separation of proteins from solution such as fermentation broths.
However, many surface active species are present often with very
different adsorption dynamics. This experimental project seeks to use a
foam stripping operation to change protein/surfactant selectivity by
adjusting fractionator residence time.
