Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for carrying out adsorptive material separations by means of permeation of liquids through porous adsorbers and a plant for carrying out the process on a process scale.
- the method according to the invention and the system according to the invention can be used for the selective separation and purification of substances, such as bio-specific molecules, proteins, enzymes, ionogenic substances, metal ions, in particular heavy metal ions from different media.
- substances such as bio-specific molecules, proteins, enzymes, ionogenic substances, metal ions, in particular heavy metal ions from different media.
- the invention is primarily intended for corresponding work in the technical center and in production.
- the process and the system can be used in the fields of biotechnology, genetic engineering, pharmacy, chemistry, the beverage and food industry and environmental protection.
- Adsorptive material separation is understood to mean a specific separation or purification of substances (components) from a liquid phase (medium) which are reversibly specifically adsorbed by a solid adsorbent.
- a medium which contains the substances to be separated or purified is placed on the adsorbent or pressed through and separated by means of one or more elution liquids (eluents) which are pressed through the adsorbent under pressure.
- elution liquids eluents
- the one in the medium contained substances to be separated can be adsorbed on the adsorbent either alone or together.
- the medium with the mixture of substances to be separated is, for example, filtered through an adsorber module until the desired substance appears at the outlet of the module.
- suitable elution liquids which are filtered through the module, for example, it can be eluted separately from other substances attached to the adsorbent (step elution).
- an undesired substance (contaminant) can also be separated from the medium.
- the interactions between solid and liquid phases play an important role in adsorptive material separation, where the solid phase must have a high specific surface area in order to achieve high effectiveness and should therefore have either a small particle size or a high porosity.
- porous matrices Since the use of extremely fine solids is limited in practice, highly porous matrices are generally used as solid phases.
- the use of porous matrices means that the kinetics of the elementary process of adsorption / desorption, ie the interaction between the component of the liquid phase and the solid phase, is superimposed on the kinetics with which the mass transport into and out of the porous matrix he follows.
- the mass transfer in known matrices is predominantly dif usive (such as in the case of the particulate and porous matrices)
- a diffusion limitation which is disadvantageous for the effectiveness of the process occurs because, owing to the generally low diffusion coefficients in liquid phases, the kinetics of the overall process are influenced by the kinetics of the Mass transport is determined.
- Non-particulate matrices such as porous membranes, which have continuous pore structures, on the other hand, offer the possibility of predominantly convective mass transport under the action of a pressure difference and thus of effectively eliminating the unde
- Adsorption membranes are understood to mean membranes that have functional groups on their inner and outer surfaces. Wear ligands or reactants that are capable of interacting with at least one substance in a liquid phase in contact with it.
- the term adsorption membrane is to be understood as a generic term * for different types of adsorption membranes, such as cation, anion, ligand, affinity or activated membranes, which in turn are divided into different types of adsorption membranes depending on the functional groups, ligands or reactants become.
- Porous adsorption membranes are membranes whose average pore diameter is in the microfiltration range and is between approximately 0.1 ⁇ m to approximately 15 ⁇ m.
- the thickness of the porous adsorption membranes used is between approximately 100 ⁇ m and approximately 500 ⁇ m.
- fibrous adsorbents with adsorptive properties are also known (for example US Pat. No. 4,986,909), which are shaped into a flat, deep filter-like sheet material. Adsorptive groups were applied to the fibers of this web material by surface modification.
- WO 9103297 AI describes a technical process and a device for adsorptive material separation. In this separation with a flat adsorbent, which is transported relative to the medium to be separated, the medium flows through the adsorbent. The liquids to be treated are then convectively transported through the adsorbent.
- the adsorbent which is preferably in the form of a belt, is transported at a suitable speed, and after flowing through it with the medium to be separated, it can either be rolled up for subsequent treatment (rinsing, desorption, regeneration) or can be immediately exposed to treatment media in further steps.
- a disadvantage is the high mechanical stress on the adsorber as a moving endless belt.
- the high binding capacity adsorbers required in the process scale usually do not have the sharp breakthrough of the target substance, as is achieved with small units for analytical separation purposes, especially when adsorber units are operated in parallel to install the required amount of adsorbent. As a result, only a part of the theoretical binding capacity can be used.
- the target substance here means that component of the medium which is reversibly bound to the adsorbent. This can be both the usable component (product) and a disruptive component (contaminant).
- another disadvantageous consequence of this is that the adsorber is not fully loaded at the time of the elution and the achievable concentration of target substance in the eluate is smaller than is theoretically possible.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved method and a system which is suitable for adsorptive material separation on a process scale in order to isolate a certain amount of a target substance from a liquid medium per unit of time.
- a method called a tandem method is used instead of a method with adsorber modules in a rigid series connection. It is based on the fact that the breakthrough of the target substance in an adsorber only occurs in the last phase of loading with the adsorbable substances and the series connection therefore only brings advantages in this phase. Therefore, adsorber modules are used in two identical stages A and B and at least two pumps, with either one stage being cyclically loaded and the other being eluted or regenerated, or both being operated in series.
- stage A is loaded. Before the target substance breaks through in the permeate, the permeate is switched to the freshly regenerated stage B. As soon as stage A is fully loaded, the remaining medium is rinsed with buffer from stage A in stage B and the stage B which has been preloaded in this way is directly loaded with medium, while stage A is eluted, so that the described initial state is reached again with exchanged stages.
- stage A is loaded.
- stage B which has been preloaded in this way is directly loaded with medium, while stage A is eluted, so that the described initial state is reached again with exchanged stages.
- a system for carrying out such a tandem process requires the use of a large number of shut-off and changeover valves, the design of which has a considerable influence on the effectiveness of the overall process.
- the presence of dead (i.e. not flushed) line parts can be particularly disadvantageous impact. If, for example, the switch from one medium to the other takes place, this is possible in principle using a T-piece with two separate shut-off devices, but there is always a line part which has not been flushed out and from which the subsequent medium is contaminated by the previous one.

- Numbers 1-42 denote the individual open-close functions of the valves, whereby valve functions with identical tasks have the same numbers in the two stages and are differentiated by the addition A or B.

- the valve with functions 36-40 serves to reverse the direction.
- bold valve symbols mean that the valve is blocked, open valve symbols that are not printed in bold mean that the valve is open. Lines highlighted mean that liquids are conveyed through these lines.

- FIG. 5 shows the state of the tandem system, in which a product from stage A is obtained which was previously eluted with an eluent in the circuit by flushing the circuit line with buffer.

- FIG. 6 shows the application of this tandem principle to an individual stage, the term “throughput” being used to designate the permeate collected in the intermediate tank.
