  • Protein adsorption by very dense porous zirconium oxide particles in expanded beds
    Patent number: 6036861
    Abstract: Porous Zirconia particles of specific gravity of 2.5-3.5 g/cm.sup.3 and mean particle sizes of 30-400 .mu.m can be synthesized using oil emulsion methods from colloids and used for protein adsorption in stable expanded beds. Expanded beds of less than 1.0 settled bed height to diameter (approximately 10 ml bed volume) are stable at linear fluid velocities of at least about 100 cm/hour.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 1998
    Date of Patent: March 14, 2000
    Assignee: Regents of the University of Minnesota
    Inventors: Michael C. Flickinger, Michael J. Robichaud, John E. Morris, Colleen M. Griffith, Michael J. Annen, Peter W. Carr, Christopher Dunlap
