Determination of the liquid pool surfactant and protein concentration for semi-batch foam fractionation columns

A model is derived for the change with time of the concentration of a surface-active component in the liquid pool of a semi-batch foam fractionation process. The transport of surface-active material to the gas-liquid interface was assumed to be limited by the mass transfer rates, and the concentrati...
