The effect of complex growth media on microbial flocculation by the cationic polyelectrolyte chitosan

Characterization of cell removal and protein purification from fermentation broth by polyelectrolyte flocculation

“…Polyelectrolyte dosage requirements can vary significantly depending on the specific application, and on the polyelectrolyte properties. Other processing factors such as pH, ion content, mixing, solids concentration, and temperature are also important factors influencing polyelectrolyte selection and its effectiveness Clark and Glatz, 1987;weir et al, 1993).…”

“…There are several factors that influence the flocculation behavior of a process stream such a.s fermentation broth. Changes in broth pH , ionic strength (Claesson et al, 1994;, composition (Weir et al, 1993) and temperature can all influence the. degree of flocculation.…”
