Influence of the Molecular Weight and Structural Organization of Cationic Polyelectrolytes on Protein Flocculation

摘要

A complex on-line procedure based on combined use of integral(spectroturbidimetry)and differential(nephelometry)light scattering methods was applied to studying the size and formation kinetics of dispersed particles in solutions containing a protein and synthetic cationic soluble polymers.The influence of pH of the medium and of the molecular weight and structural organization of polymers on the floccule size and flocculation kinetics was evaluated.
