Investigation of the separation efficiency in one-stage and multistage extractions by a numerical method

Theoretical separation efficiencies in one-stage static and multistage dynamic models of liquid-liquid extraction have been studied mathematically. By the use of the iterative numerical method the maximum difference between separation efficiencies in these two models, as well as the absolute values of the respective separation efficiencies were calculated at this maximum. The maximum difference between multistage and one-stage separation efficiencies amounts to 20.36%, when the respective separation efficiencies are about 91.89% and 71.56%.     

Hydrodynamic separation of grain and stover components in corn silage

Mixing fresh silage in water resulted in partial segregation of grain from stover. Grain concentration was 75% in the sunk material when silage was relatively dry (64% moisture content [MC]) and 41% when silage was relatively wet (74% MC). Partial drying to remove 20 percentage units of moisture prior to water separation increased grain concentration to 92%, and complete drying increased grain concentration to 99%. Sieving without drying followed by water separation resulted in a grain concentration of 79%. A byproduct of water separation is a large amount of soluble and deposited fine particles in the effluent: 18% of original dry matter after one separation, and between 21 and 26% after eight separations. In an industrial setting, hydrodynamic separation of silage with minimal pretreatment could provide a feedstock with a high concentration of grain (75–80%). In a laboratory setting, hydrodynamic separation with prior oven drying could provide a method to separate grain from stover in corn silage by reaching a grain concentration higher than 99%.

Elution-extrusion counter-current chromatography separation of five bioactive compounds from Dendrobium chrysototxum Lindl

The elution-extrusion counter-current chromatography (EECCC) method was firstly developed by Berthod in 2003 and has been used in natural products separation in recent years. The advantages of this method have been well documented such as reducing the separation time and solvent consumption. In the EECCC method, the time point of the extrusion step is very important during the whole separation process as it directly affects the resolutions, separation time and solvent consumption. However, how to choose a suitable time point to perform the extrusion step without decreasing the resolution has not been studied yet. In the present study, a strategy for systematically calculating the time point for extrusion was developed in theory and five bioactive compounds from the extract of Dendrobium chrysototxum Lindl. were separated and compared using normal CCC and EECCC method. Our results demonstrated that the accurate time point to perform the extrusion could be calculated and reduced both separation time and solvent consumption without losing separation performance. Using this EECCC method, five bioactive compounds were separated and purified with high purity. The separation time and solvent consumption were decreased from 200 min to 100 min and 5-2.5L during the separation process while the resolutions were still acceptable. Finally, 63 mg, 48 mg, 97 mg, 162 mg and 43 mg of hydroxyl phenanthrenes and bibenzyls with the purity of 98.7%, 98.0%, 98.2%, 99.0% and 98.7%, respectively were isolated from 1.2 g crude extract of D. chrysototxum Lindl. initially purified by column chromatography in one step separation. The purities of compounds were determined by HPLC. Their structures were identified by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and NMR.

High molecular weight syndiotacticity-rich poly(vinyl alcohol) gel in aging process

The properties of the aged gels of high molecular weight syndiotacticity-rich poly(vinyl alcohol)s (HMW S-PVAs) with different syndiotactic diad (s-diad) contents were investigated. HMW S-PVA gels with s-diad content of 61.5% and 58.2% showed the rapid increases of the syneresis and the turbidity from the early stage of aging time, which is ascribable to the phase separation, while that with s-diad content of 55.7% did not. From the morphological study, it was confirmed that the phase separation in HMW S-PVA gel with s-diad content of 61.5% occurred without the liquid-liquid phase separation in sol state, whereas both the liquid-liquid phase separation in sol state and the subsequent phase separation in gel state occurred in the case of HMW S-PVA gel with s-diad content of 58.2%. On the other hand, HMW S-PVA gel with s-diad content of 55.7% showed neither the liquid-liquid phase separation in sol state nor the phase separation in gel state in the long period of time. It was also confirmed from wide angle X-ray diffractogram that the crystallization was accompanied by the phase separation in gel state in the aging process of PVA gel. However, the crystallization was hindered by the fast network formation at the initial stage of time. Later the syndiotacticity promoted the crystallization. The tensile modulus of HMW S-PVA gel with higher syndiotacticity increased more significantly with time. Received: 2 December 1999/Accepted: 12 July 2000

Microalgae separation by inertia-enhanced pinched flow fractionation

To improve the accuracy and efficiency of ships’ ballast water detection, the separation of microalgae according to size is significant. In this article, a method to separate microalgae based on inertia-enhanced pinched flow fractionation (iPFF) was reported. The method utilized the inertial lift force induced by flow to separate microalgae according to size continuously. The experimental results show that, as the Reynolds number increases, the separation effect becomes better at first, but then stays unchanged. The best separation effect can be obtained when the Reynolds number is 12.3. In addition, with the increase of the flow rate ratio between sheath fluid and microalgae mixture, the separation effect becomes better and the best separation effect can be obtained when the flow rate ratio reaches 10. In this case, the recovery rate of Tetraselmis sp. is about 90%, and the purity is about 86%; the recovery rate of Chlorella sp. is as high as 99%, and the purity is about 99%. After that, the separation effect keeps getting better but very slowly. In general, this study provides a simple method for the separation of microalgae with different sizes, and lays a foundation for the accurate detection of microalgae in the ballast water.     

Optimizing separation conditions for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in micellar electrokinetic chromatography

We report the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using 0.1% poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). In the presence of PEO, adsorption of PAHs on the capillary wall was reduced, leading to better resolution and reproducibility. Effects of tetrapentylammonium iodide (TPAI), dextran sulfate (DS), methanol, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS) on the separation of PAHs were elucidated. In terms of resolution and speed, DS, compared to TPAI, is a better additive for separation of PAHs. When using 0.1% PEO solution containing 45% methanol, 50 mM SDS, and 0.02% DS, separation of 10 PAHs containing 2 to 5 benzene rings was accomplished in less than 12 min at 15 kV in a commercial CE system. The method has also been tested for separating seven PAHs with high quantum yields when excited at 325 nm using a He-Cd laser. Unfortunately, separation of the seven PAHs was not achieved and sensitivity diminished under the same conditions. To optimize sensitivity, resolution and speed, a stepwise technique in MEKC has been proposed. The seven PAHs were resolved in 35 min at 15 kV when separation was performed in 0.1% PEO solution containing 35 mM SDS, 40% methanol and 0.02% DS for 2 min, and subsequently in 0.1% PEO solution containing 20 mM SDS, 50% methanol, and 0.02% DS.     

Capillary zone electrophoretic separation of basic proteins and drugs using guaran as a buffer modifier

Summary Guaran, a neutral polysaccharide, has been used as a buffer modifier to improve the separation of basic proteins and drugs. Migration reproductibility, peak shape and efficiency were improved when 0.1% guaran was added to the buffer. The concentration of guaran, ionic strength, and pH of buffer solution were optimized to obtain the optimum separation of proteins. Possible separation efficiencies of 700,000 plates per meter were obtained for test proteins. The relative standard deviation (% RSD) of the migration time of all test proteins was less than 0.5%. Improved separation of β-blockers was also observed when guaran was added to the buffer.     

Ultrahigh throughput beehive-like device for blood plasma separation

We report here a low-cost, rapid-prototyping, and beehive-like multilayer polymer microfluidic device for ultrahigh-throughput blood plasma separation. To understand the device physics and optimize the device structure, the effect of cross-sectional dimension and operational parameter on particle focusing behavior was explored using a single spiral microchannel device. Then, the blood plasma separation performance of the determined channel structure was validated using the blood samples with different hematocrits (HCTs). It was found that a high separation efficiency of 99% could be achieved using the blood sample with an HCT of 0.5% at a high throughput of 1 mL/min. Finally, a multilayer microfluidic device with a novel beehive-like multiplexing channel arrangement was developed for ultrahigh-throughput blood plasma separation. The prototype device could be fabricated within ∼1 hour utilizing the laser cutting and thermal lamination methods. The total processing throughput could reach up to 72 mL/min for 0.5% HCT sample with a plasma separation ratio close to 90%. Our device may hold potentials for the ultrahigh-throughput separation of blood plasma from large volume blood samples for downstream disease diagnosis.
