  • Dynamics and control of continuous crystallizers

    Creator:
    Leu, Lii-ping
    Abstract:
    The theoretical analysis of an unseeded, isothermal mixed-suspension mixed-product-removal (MSMPR) crystallizer with a fines trap is developed. The lumped parameter system equations are presented for a homogeneous nucleation and a number-dependent secondary-nucleation model. Linear stability analysis and system simulations are used to investigate the system's dynamic behavior. Modal control algorithms...

  • β-lactoglubin adsorption equilibrium and kinetics at silanized silica surfaces

    Creator:
    Krisdhasima, Viwat
    Abstract:
    The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior exhibited by β-lactoglobulin at silanized silicon surfaces of varying hydrophobicity were examined using ellipsometry. Adsorption equilibrium results were used to construct adsorption isotherms; the adsorbed mass of β-lactoglobulin was observed to increase with increasing surface hydrophobicity, within a defined range of hydrophobicity. Adsorption kinetics...
