Session: Extractions in Bioprocessing

Extraction has become an important unit operation for bioproduct separations because it is able to isolate, concentrate, and purify these products from dilute solutions. We seek papers that describe fundamentals and novel applications of extraction in bioproduct recovery and purification. Examples include, but are not limited to, biofuel recovery from fermentation broth, primary recovery of proteins from cell cultures, two aqueous phase extraction and micellar systems for selective partitioning of proteins, and reversible chemical complexation for the recovery of complex organics.
