Abstract:

Reverse micellar systems are nanofluids with unique properties that make them attractive in high selectivity separation processes, especially for biological compounds. Understanding the phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of these nanosystems is the first step in process design. Separation of components by these nanosystems is performed upon contact of aqueous and reverse micellar phases. Due to the complexities of components molecular interactions, phase behavior studies of these solutions are different from regular liquid-liquid systems, and few thermodynamic models have been developed to describe distribution of extract between phases. In this study, a thermodynamic model with φ-φ approach and use of equations of states (EOS) is developed for the first time to describe the protein phase equilibria in reverse micellar systems. The developed model assumes that some reverse micelles act as active surfaces which can adsorb protein molecules. Also, the non-ideal behavior of micellar solution was modeled by three EOS, i.e. vdW, PR, and SRK. Results showed that SRK EOS shows the best match with experimental data of Bovine Serum Albomin (BSA) extraction from aqueous solution using reverse micellar solution of CTAB, a cationic surfactant. In addition, results indicate that the proposed thermodynamic model can describe the changes in electrostatic forces and increase in active surfaces on equilibrium protein extraction. Also, the standard deviation shows an excellent match between experimental data and model predictions.

Investigation on the precipitation, microenvironment and recovery of protein in CO2-expanded reverse micellar solution

The effect of compressed CO2 on the properties of protein (trypsin) in the reverse micelles of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate AOT/decane/water has been studied. UV-vis spectrum was used to determine the precipitation of trypsin in the reverse micelles, which reveals that trypsin can be precipitated from the reverse micelles by compressed CO2 at suitable pressures, while the surfactant A...

A New Approach for Finding an Optimal Solution for Grey Transportation Problem

In ordinary transportation problems, it is always supposed that the mileage from every source to every destination is a definite number. But in special conditions, such as transporting emergency materials when natural calamity occurs or transporting military supplies during wartime, carrying network may be destroyed, mileage from some sources to some destinations are no longer definite. It is u...

A new modeling and solution approach for the number partitioning problem

The number partitioning problem has proven to be a challenging problem for both exact and heuristic solution methods. In this paper we present a new modeling and solution approach that consists of re-casting the problem as an unconstrained quadratic binary program that can be solved by efficient metaheuristic methods. Our approach readily accommodates both the common two-subset partition case a...
