Recovery of Magnetic Catalysts: Advanced Design for Process Intensification.

ABSTRACT: The design of microdevices in which components with magnetic character must be separated and recovered from reactive media benefits from the advantages of microfluidics and meets the criteria for process intensification; however, there are open questions, such as the design of the most appropriate magnet arrangement, that need further research in order to increase the magnetic gradient exerted on the particles. Herein, we focus on the continuous recovery of magnetic microparticles, that can be used as support to facilitate the recovery of biocatalysts (magnetic microcatalysts, MMCs) from biological fluids. We analyze and compare the performance of two typical magnetophoretic microdevices for addressing bead recovery: (i) annular channels with a quadrupole orientation of the permanent magne
