Alginate as immobilization material: III. Diffusional properties.

Abstract:

:The rate of diffusion of serum albumin (MW 6.9 x 10(4) D) out of beads of calcium alginate gels depends upon the concentration and uronic acid composition of the alginate (ManA/GulA ratio), the conditions under which the beads are produced, the pH, and the temperature. The diffusion coefficient decreases with increasing alginate concentration, and (ManA/GulA) ratio and with decreasing pH. Diffusion out of the beads, in which the alginate is uniformly distributed (homogeneous gel), is faster than out of the beads in which the alginate is concentrated at the surface (inhomogeneous gel). The temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient follows the Arrhenius law, with an activation energy of approximately 23 kJ x mol(-1).
