The invention relates to a method for separating proteins from liquid media. Said method involves the preparation of a liquid medium containing a protein and the preparation of a clay material, which has a specific surface greater than 150 m<SUP>2</SUP>/g, a pore volume greater than 0.35 ml/g, an ion-exchange capacity greater than 40 meq/100g and a sediment volume in water of less than 15 ml/2g. The clay material is equilibrated to a pH value of between 3.5 and 9.0, the liquid medium is treated with the equilibrated clay material and the purified liquid medium that is rich in protein is separated from the clay material. |
