Development of advanced adsorptive separation technology for environmental and biopharmaceutical applications

吸附和层析在分离和提纯有价值的化学和生化产品方面起着至关重要的作用。操作成本高和分离能力低仍然是将其应用于环境和生物制药分离的主要瓶颈。在过去的几年里，我的研究主要集中在开发新的可持续吸附剂和先进的基于吸附的分离工艺。在过去研究工作的基础上，拟议的研究计划旨在解决以下具有挑战性的课题：(I)开发用于选择吸附和回收贵金属的新型多孔多糖基吸附剂；(Ii)探索通过制备液相色谱分离和纯化治疗性蛋白质的新技术。

Adsorption and chromatography play a critical role in separating and purifying valuable chemical and biochemical products. High cost of operation and low separation capacity remain the major bottlenecks in their implementation to environmental and biopharmaceutical separations. My research in the past several years has focused on developing new sustainable adsorbents and advanced adsorption-based separation processes. Building on the strengths of past research efforts, the proposed research program aims to address the challenging topics of (i) developing new porous polysaccharide-based adsorbents for selective adsorption and recovery of precious metals; and (ii) exploring new techniques for isolation and purification of therapeutic proteins by preparative liquid chromatography.
