The ion-exchange adsorption kinetics of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and γ-globulin into an anion exchanger
DEAE-Spherodex M
has been studied by batch adsorption experiments.The pore diffusion model was used to predict pore diffusivity.The effect of initial protein concentration and average adsorption density on pore diffusivity was investigated.The results showed that pore diffusivity decreased exponentially with increasing initial protein concentration and average adsorption density. Moreover
the larger the dimension of the protein
the greater the decline of pore diffusivity was observed.
