Separation of magnetic affinity biopolymer adsorbents in
22/10/2004#0183;#32;A Davis tube (a matrixfree, flowthrough magnetic separator used mainly in mineral processing) has been tested for separation of magnetic affinity biopolymer adsorbents from larger volumes of suspensions. Both magnetic chitosan and magnetic crosslinked erythrocytes could be efficiently separated from litre volumes of suspensions. Up to 90% adsorbent recovery was achieved
