[Nisin sorption and desorption on different silica adsorbents].

Abstract

Nisin sorption on some silica adsorbents in columns was studied. Silica gels, silochromes and sintered glass with various pore diameters, various specific surfaces, etc. were tested. Correlation between the adsorbent adsorption capacity with respect to nisin and the adsorbent pore diameter was observed. The tested silochromes, silica gels with the pore diameters of 70-80 nm and sintered glass with the pore diameters of 65-112 nm had the highest adsorption capacity with respect to nisin.
