Question: Based on the data in Problem 11.9, we want to determine the course of adsorption of the mAb if 15 liters of the adsorbent particles

Based on the data in Problem 11.9, we want to determine the course of adsorption of the mAb if 15 liters of the adsorbent particles are added to 2,000 L of a solution containing initially a 1.0 mg/cm3

concentration of the mAb in a well-mixed tank. The particle radius is 54

μm, and the binding capacity is 110 mg/cm3 of particle volume. Determine the time required to reduce the mAb concentration in solution to 25% of the initial value. What is the lowest possible concentration of the mAb that can be attained for these conditions? For this problem you can assume De = 5.0

× 10−8 cm2/s.
