Description

Adsorptive separations are becoming increasingly important in chemical industry. The simulated moving bed technology (SMB) developed by UOP has been used for various separations, namely the recovery of p-xylene from a mixture of C8 isomers (PAREX) or the separation Glucose/Fructose in the SAREX process. More recently flue technology has been introduced in the area of tine chemicals and pharmaceuticals by leading companies SEPAREX and UOP
