DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figs. 1-2 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, an electro-ultrafiltration device for separating proteins includes an electrolytic cell 1. The electrolytic cell 1 is provided with a dividing mechanism for dividing the electrolytic cell 1 into several functional chambers, so that each functional chamber of the device can be independent of each other, facilitating the separation of different protein products. The functional chambers include an anode chamber 3, a cathode chamber 4, a stock solution chamber 5, and a dialysis chamber 6. The stock solution chamber 5 and the dialysis chamber 6 are located between the anode chamber 3 and the cathode chamber 4. An anode plate 7 is installed in the anode chamber 3, a cathode plate 8 is installed in the cathode chamber 4, and an ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 9 is installed in the dialysis chamber 6. A first cation membrane 10 is installed in the stock solution chamber 5, and a second cation membrane 11 is installed in the dialysis chamber 6, thereby facilitating the cleaning and replacement of membranes. At the same time, the membranes can be recycled for a long time. The operation is simple and the operation is stable.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: The electrolytic cell 1 is provided with a plurality of partition gaskets 2, the partition gaskets 2 abutting against the inner wall of the electrolytic cell 1, and there are four partition gaskets 2, which are respectively located behind the anode plate 7, the first cation membrane 10, the second cation membrane 11, and the ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 9, so that each ion membrane in the functional chamber can be independent of each other, facilitating the separation of different protein products.
[0023] In this embodiment, the first cation membrane 10 and the second cation membrane 11 are symmetrically arranged in the electrolytic cell, with the first cation membrane 10 positioned closer to the anode plate 7 and the second cation membrane 11 positioned closer to the cathode plate 8. This allows sodium ions to pass through the cation membrane from the positive electrode, through the ultrafiltration membrane, and into the negative electrode chamber, thus generating a normal current effect inside the assembly.
[0024] In this embodiment, the ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 9 includes an ultrafiltration membrane support plate 901 installed in the dialysis chamber 6, and an ultrafiltration membrane 902 is installed on the ultrafiltration membrane support plate 901; the ultrafiltration membrane 902 is installed between the first cation membrane 10 and the second cation membrane 11. This allows ions to move in a directional manner under electrical drive, selectively passing through the ultrafiltration membrane for separation.
[0025] The working principle of the utility model is: in the electric ultrafiltration membrane device, the anode plate 7 side is equipped with the positive membrane 10, the cathode plate 8 side is equipped with the positive membrane 10, and the positive membrane 10 is equipped on both sides of the positive and negative electrode, so that sodium ions can pass through the positive membrane from the positive electrode, pass through the ultrafiltration membrane 902 and enter the cathode chamber 4. In this way, the normal current effect can be generated inside the assembly. In the raw solution chamber 5, the positive and negative protein ions migrate to the negative electrode under the action of the electric field, and the small-molecular-weight positively charged protein can pass through the ultrafiltration membrane 902. The large-molecular-weight negatively charged protein migrates to the anode. Due to the molecular weight and the electric field, the effect of separating the large-molecular-weight negatively charged protein and the small-molecular-weight positively charged protein is realized, and the concentration polarization on both sides of the membrane is greatly reduced, and the membrane pollution phenomenon is reduced.
[0026] Due to the action of the electric field, the positively charged small-molecular-weight protein migrates directionally and passes through the ultrafiltration membrane 902, and the negatively charged large-molecular-weight protein migrates to the anode, so that the purity of the target protein is greatly improved. Due to the small pore size of the cation and anion membrane, the protein molecules can be prevented from passing through the ion membrane and reacting in the electrode chamber.
[0027] If the product contains inorganic salts such as sodium chloride, the salt can be migrated to the electrode chamber in the system at the same time, and the product desalination effect is achieved. If the large-molecular-weight protein product needs to be concentrated, the pressure of the raw material chamber pump can be increased.
[0028] Without conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and superimpose the above additional technical features.
[0029] It can be understood that the utility model is described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art know that various changes or equivalent replacements can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. In addition, under the guidance of the utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific conditions and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of the present application belong to the scope protected by the utility model.
