ABE 555 - Principles Biological Separation Processing

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, metal affinity, hydrophobic interaction, and bio-affinity), membrane separation (Micro-filtration, ultra-filtration, and 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.
