Abstract
ABSTRACTSimilarly sized protein separation was investigated using a charge‐selective membrane, which prepared by grafting dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) onto ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVAL) membrane. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine hemoglobin (BHb) was used as model proteins. P(DMAEMA), the weak cationic polyelectrolyte with ionizable tertiary amine groups, contributed to the charge‐selective separation for BSA and BHb. At pH 6.0, the grafted EVAL membrane surface was positively charged and BSA was negatively charged, while BHb was positively charged. The BSA was adsorbed onto the membrane surface due to electrostatic interaction and the BHb passed through the membrane into the permeate. The charge‐selective behavior resulted in the separation of the similarly sized protein. The maximum separation factors of static adsorption separation for model protein and binary mixture were 32.4 and 37.2, respectively. In the dynamic separation process, the maximum separation factor value was 6.2. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 46374.
