“…As in conventional affinity chromatography, an affinity filtration process is composed of three steps, i.e., broth feeding (adsorption), contaminant washing, and desired protein elution. A key element in the development of such a purification technique is the process modeling, not only for experimental data analysis but also for the process design and optimization (Sun et al, 1995, 1997; Dong et al, 1996). Recently, Herak and Merrill (1989, 1990) used a lumped kinetic model to describe the affinity cross‐flow filtration.…”
