Article Synopsis
- Hydrophobic adsorption offers a novel method for recovering and purifying Penicillin G (PenG) as a greener alternative to traditional organic solvent extraction, although more research is needed regarding variables and product stability.
- Amberlite XAD-4 was identified as the most effective adsorbent; adsorption yield rose from 36% at pH 6 to 44% at pH 4, with over 90% capture efficiency during a 45-minute batch process at low pH and temperature, showing no degradation of PenG.
- The process allows for 95% recovery of PenG in a single batch using a new water-ethanol desorption method, demonstrating high selectivity and efficiency, making
