Particle Diameter Effects and the Use of Consolidated Media in Adsorption and Ion Exchange

普渡大学的菲利普·C·万卡特教授在使用吸收作为工业净化方法方面一直是领先的研究人员。他最新的研究提案涵盖了一系列实验，以确定扩大这一重要过程的更好方法。他提出的理论表明，随着质量通量的增加，柱长与吸收柱直径的平方之比以及周期与柱长的比值应保持不变。这种方法应该是一种改进，对商业实践具有很强的经济意义。其应用将包括吸附、离子交换和层析。我建议为普渡研究基金会提供为期3年的持续资助，以支持万卡特教授的研究。建议的金额分别为86财年56,517美元、87财年55,197美元和88财年55,117美元。

Professor Phillip C. Wankat of Purdue has been a leading investigator in the use of absorption as an industrial purification method. His latest research proposal covers a series of experiments to determine better methods to scale up this important process. The theory he has developed indicates that the ratio of column length to the square of the absorbent diameter, and cycle period to column length should be kept constant as mass through-puts are increased. This method should be an improvement with strong economic implications for commercial practice. The applications would include absorption, ion-exchange, and chromatography. I recommend that Purdue Research Foundation be given a 3-year continuing grant to support Professor Wankat's research. The amounts recommended are $56,517 for FY86, $55,197 for FY87, and $55,117 for FY88.
