COLUMN DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR FOAM FRACTIONATING HUMAN PLACENTAL EXTRACT

ABSTRACT In the present investigation, column design parameters for foam fractionation of human placental extract have been studied. A design procedure using the transfer unit concept has been presented. The number of transfer units has been computed with the help of a quasi-equilibrium diagram especially constructed for the present system. In order to determine the height of a transfer unit, an empirical correlation for the present system has been proposed. ∗ The authors dedicate this paper to Prof. R. N. Mukherjea on his sixty-fifth birthday.
