A Theoretical Study of Multicomponent Radial Flow Chromatography
نویسندگان
چکیده
A theoretical study of radial flow chromatography was carried out based on a general nonlinear multicomponent rate model which considers radial dispersion. external mass transfer, intraparticle diffusion. and nonlinear multicomponent isotherms. Radial dispersion and mass transfer coefficients were treated as variables which are dependent on the radial coordinate of the radial flow column. The model was solved numerically by using the finite element method and the orthogonal collocation method for the discretization of partial differential equations and Gear's stiff method for the solution of the resulting ordinary differential equation system. Computer simulations were carried out for various multicomponent chromatographic operations. Dispersion and mass transfer effects were investigated. The question of whether radial dispersion and mass transfer coefficients should be treated as variables was discussed. The difference between inward flow and outward flow in radial flow chromatography and the comparison between conventional axial flow chromatography and radial flow chromatography were studied. Langmuir isotherms were used in this work.

An experimental study on hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flow in coarse-grained porous media
The equations of fluids in porous media are very useful in designing the rockfill and diversion dams, gabions, breakwaters and ground water reserves. Researches have been showed that the Forchheimer equation is not sufficient for the analysis of hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flows; because, in these flows, in addition to the hydraulic gradient and velocity, the variable of radius is...

We have developed a capillary chromatography system using an open capillary tube made of fused-silica, polyethylene, or poly(tetrafluoroethylene), and a water-hydrophilic-hydrophobic organic mixture carrier solution. This tube radial distribution chromatography (TRDC) system works under laminar-flow conditions. In this study, the following analytical conditions in the TRDC system using a fused-...

Computational fluid dynamics analysis was employed to investigate the radial flow field patterns of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with different channel geometries at high operating current densities. 3D, non-isothermal was used with single straight channel geometry. Our study showed that new generation of fuel cells with circle stack with the same active area and inlet area gave ...
متن کاملChromatography, Radial Flow
The production of a modern biotechnology product, frequently a recombinant protein, requires a multistage downstream process because the feedstock is usually a liquid that is dilute in product concentration and contains many impurities some of which are unknown chemical compounds. Such a process typically centers on two or more liquid chromatography steps in order to achieve the desired purity....
