Adsorption of components of enzymatic synthesis of ampicillin on different hydrophobic resins.

This work compared the performance of three hydrophobic resins for the adsorption of ampicillin (AMP), D-phenylglycine (PG), D-phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME), and 6- aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). The influence of pH on adsorption efficiencies was assessed in the range of 4.5-8.5, at 4 and 25 degrees C. The values at 4 degrees C were slightly higher than those at 25 degrees C. The adsorption efficiency of AMP and 6-APA decreased at higher pHs, for the three resins. An opposite behavior was found for PGME, and the pH did not affect PG adsorption efficiency. Isotherm models were fitted to experimental equilibrium data and the best models were discriminated.

Continuous clavulanic acid adsorption process.

Adsorption kinetics and equilibrium data of clavulanic acid, a beta-lactam antibiotic, on ion-exchange resin Amberlite IRA 400 were utilized to carry out the modeling and simulation of a continuous adsorption process. These simulations allowed the estimation of yield, concentration, and purification factors of the process utilizing the product final concentration. Experimental runs of this process were carried out using the conditions pointed out by simulation studies. Comparison of the experimental results and those calculated by the proposed model showed that the model could describe very well the main features of the continuous process.
