PROCESS OF SEPARATING PRECIPITATED PROTEINS FROM ALBUMIN-CONTAINING SUSPENSIONS

摘要

The production of albumin for non-therapeutic applications from a suspension obtained from blood plasma is carried out by flotation filtration of the suspension on a fabric filter element. The non-albumin-containing constituents of the emulsion are collected on the fabric filter element and a clear albumin solution is obtained as the filtrate. The process enables the separation of heat-precipitated proteins from the suspension with a substantially smaller outlay compared with known filtration processes, within a shorter filtration time and avoiding a blockage of the filter inserts.
