ABE 455-455L/555-555L - Principles of Biological Separation Processing and Lab

Credits: 3

Biological separation principle and process development for isolation of value added products from renewable agricultural based materials. The mass and heat transfer as well as engineering scale up will be applied to chromatography separation (gel filtration, ion exchange, affinity, hydrophobic interaction and affinity), membrane separation (microfiltration, ultrafiltration and diafiltration) and liquid-liquid extraction (aqueous two phase, micelle extraction and solvent extraction). Hands on laboratory experiments will be an integral part of this course. Students will be expected to complete comprehensive laboratory reports which include scale up computations.
