Abstract

A mathematical model describing single-component and multi-component adsorption in columns with bidisperse perfusive or bidisperse purely diffusive adsorbent particles is constructed and presented. The model is used to study the adsorption of lysozyme onto monocional anti-lysozyme in columns with bidisperse porous adsorbent particles. The influence of the effective pore diffusion coefficient of the adsorbate in the microparticles (microspheres) and the effects of particle size and intraparticle convective flow on column performance are examined. The results for the systems studied indicate that the systems with bidisperse perfusive particles provide a higher dynamic utilization of the adsorptive capacity of the column than the systems having bidisperse purely diffusive particles.
