Question: Problem 2 [ 2 5 points ] . A mixture of albumen and lysozyme is separated by a column chromatography with a 1 m length,

Problem 2[25 points].
A mixture of albumen and lysozyme is separated by a column chromatography with a 1m length,
which is filled with 500 grams of resins. The resin having a 1.2gcm3 density and 0.5 fractional
participle porosity (Ep=0.5). Assume the resin has cylindrical pores and an average pore diameter
is 25A(10-10(m)). Albumin peak is detected after 5,000 seconds having a width of 600 seconds
and a 0.3 absorbance peak (Cmax). Lysozyme peak is detected after 5,500 seconds having a width
of 800 seconds and a 0.8 absorbance peak (Cmax). Both peaks follow Gaussian distribution with
standard deviations.
2.1. What were the individual velocities of albumen and lysozyme?
2.2. What is the resolution?
2.3. What is the mass fraction of albumin in the feed mixture?
(Assume there exist only albumin and lysozyme proteins in the feed.)
