A chitosan glutamate/cellulose composite membrane is reported here, providing a large liquid flow rate through the membrane and good mechanical properties. This membrane was prepared by coating chitosan glutamate to cellulosic filter paper in presence and absence of glutraldhyde. Factors affecting membrane formation such as chitosan glutamate/PEG ratio, evaporation time, gelling bath temperature and the concentration of the cross linking agent were studied. The effect of the coating parameters on the physico-chemical properties of the composite membrane, such as pore size of the prepared membrane, the bursting strength, the air permeability and nitrogen percent of the composite membrane were evaluated. The binding and eluting patterns of these composite membranes are tested with bovine serum albumin and water melon urease. In conclusion, this work is the first study used composite membrane containing chitostan as ionexchange material for adsorption and separation of proteins and isoenzymes.  ISSN : 1991-8178  Journal Name : Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences  Volume : 4  Issue Number : 6  Publishing Year : 1431 AH 2010 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, November 14, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email A S Aly Aly, A S Researcher Doctorate   Hala A Salah Salah, Hala A Researcher Doctorate   Afaf S Fahmy Fahmy, Afaf S Researcher Doctorate   صالح أحمد محمد Mohamed, Saleh Ahmed Researcher Doctorate saleh38@hotmail.com Files File Name Type Description  31245.pdf pdf Abstract Back To Researches Page
