Abstract

The sorption of riboflavin by Amberlite FPX66 resin was studied using downward flow of riboflavin containing solutions through packed columns at different temperatures and flow rates. In recycled batch mode, the adsorption rate followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model at a low temperature and the pseudo-second-order model at a higher temperature. During the initial stage of a continuous run the adsorption processes followed the zero-order model. The intra-particle diffusivity D was found to increase linearly with increasing adsorbent/sorbate ratio and flow rates and decreased in lactose solution compared to lactose-free solution. Continuous sorption was superior, removing 1.5 times more riboflavin than the batch mode after two hours.
