Separation of protein mixtures by an integrated electro-ultrafiltration–electrodialysis process

An integrated process for improving selectivity and permeate flux in ultrafiltration based protein fractionation was developed by combining electrodialysis (ED) with electro-ultrafiltration (EUF). The performance of such a process was first investigated using individual proteins (bovine serum albumin and lysozyme) and then with a mixture of the two. The experimental results showed that as with EUF on its own, the build-up of lysozyme …
