Monitoring of bioprocess by thin layer chromatography in a horizontal rotating tubular bioreactor for removal of heavy metals

This paper presents an innovative idea of application of thin layer chromatography (TLC) to characterize the bioprocess in horizontal rotating tubular bioreactor (HRTB) during heavy metals removal ions (Co2+, Cr6+ and Mn2+) from wastewaters. HRTB was designed as a combination of thin-layer and biodisc reactor and therefore had characteristics of both reactors. Before analysis of waste water samples, optimization of chromatographic system for separating metal ions was performed: retention factors (RF values) were calculated and the best chromatographic system for separation and identification of analyzed metal ions was chosen.
