✦ Synopsis

The characterization of Bovine Serum Albumin mass transfer mechanisms in a spray column using an aqueous two-phase system composed of poly(ethylene glycol) and a modified starch-Reppal PES 100-is done. The poly(ethylene glycol) rich phase is used as the dispersed phase and protein transfer takes place from the dispersed phase to the continuous phase. The effect of dispersed phase superficial velocity, system composition, continuous phase height and distribution system design on either overall protein mass transfer coefficient or column hold-up is described. It is shown that continuous phase superficial velocity and phase composition are the main controlling factors for protein transfer. It is also observed that, with the tested system, only at very low dispersed phase superficial velocities is it possible to operate the spray column as an extraction column. In this system the upper operating limit of the dispersed phase velocity is ten times smaller than in other aqueous two-phase systems.
