Abstract

Three kinds of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based immobilized metal affinity membranes (IMAM), namely, Cu (II)-IMAM, Co (II)-IMAM and Ni (II)-IMAM were prepared to recover bovine serum albumin (BSA) from the solutions. Adsorption of the aforementioned membranes towards BSA were studied with the presence of Ca (II) and PO43–. The adsorption performance of the membranes followed the order of Co (II)-IMAM > Cu (II)-IMAM > Ni (II)-IMAM. The existent PO43– exhibited a larger interference on BSA uptake than Ca (II).
