Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Separation and purification are major steps in most industrial processes. The development of new products often requires the design and establishment of new separation processes. In the case of life science industries, for example, the evolution of the pharmaceutical industry towards biopharmaceuticals has led to many innovations in chromatographic separation technologies. Similar challenges have arisen with the need to recover critical metals. Recycling or extraction of these metals from inorganic chemistry by-products previously considered as waste allows the purification and concentration of highly diluted target species in complex matrices. To meet these challenges, innovations in chromatography processes can be implemented at different scales, i.e., at the stationary phase scale, at the column scale, and at the scale of process architecture. The development of new, more selective phases, which allow for better ageing, in a material process approach, is essential. As far as the column is concerned, modeling and instrumentation development leads to a better understanding of the limiting steps and a better control of the process. In addition, many bottlenecks can be overcome through multi-column, continuous, or sequential process architectures or through hybrid processes.

This Special Issue entitled "New Frontiers in Chromatographic Separation Technology" aims to give an overview of the recent developments in chromatographic techniques to meet new industrial challenges. Progress in liquid chromatography will be more specifically addressed.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • New stationary phases for life sciences
  • Specific functional groups grafted on resins for metal ion/species separation
  • Modeling and instrumentation of columns
  • Specific column technologies (fluidized bed, etc.)
  • Multicolumn processes (continuous or sequential)
  • Hybrid ion exchange processes (electrodeionization, electro-regeneration, etc.)

Original research papers as well as reviews are welcome.

Chromatography modeling for simulation is a tool that can help to predict the separation of molecules inside the column. Knowledge of sorption isotherms in chromatography modeling is a crucial step and methods such as frontal analysis or batch are used to obtain sorption isotherm parameters, but they require a significant quantity of samples. This study aims to predict Langmuir isotherm parameters from Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) affinity data (requiring less quantity of sample) to simulate metal chelating peptides (MCPs) separation in Immobilized Metal ion Affinity Chromatography (IMAC), thanks to the analogy between both techniques. The validity of simulation was evaluated by comparing the peptide’s simulated retention time with its experimental retention time obtained by IMAC. Results showed that the peptide affinity constant (KA) can be conserved between SPR and IMAC. However, the maximal capacity (qmax) must be adjusted by a correction factor to overcome the geometry differences between IMAC (spherical particles) and SPR (plane sensor ship). Therefore, three approaches were studied; the best one was to use qmax,IMAC imidazole determined experimentally while a correction factor was applied on qmax,SPR to obtain the qmax,IMAC of the peptide, thus minimizing the discrepancy between the experimental and simulated retention times of a peptide.

The deleterious consequences of snake envenomation are due to the extreme protein complexity of snake venoms. Therefore, the identification of their components is crucial for understanding the clinical manifestations of envenomation pathophysiology and for the development of effective antivenoms. In addition, snake venoms are considered as libraries of bioactive molecules that can be used to develop innovative drugs. Numerous separation and analytical techniques are combined to study snake venom composition including chromatographic techniques such as size exclusion and RP-HPLC and electrophoretic techniques. Herein, we present in detail these existing techniques and their applications in snake venom research. In the first part, we discuss the different possible technical combinations that could be used to isolate and purify SV proteins using what is known as bioassay-guided fractionation. In the second part, we describe four different proteomic strategies that could be applied for venomics studies to evaluate whole venom composition, including the mostly used technique: RP-HPLC. Eventually, we show that to date, there is no standard technique used for the separation of all snake venoms. Thus, different combinations might be developed, taking into consideration the main objective of the study, the available resources, and the properties of the target molecules to be isolated.
