The simulated moving bed (SMB)technology is amature one with above 100 applications in chemical industry (UOP sorbex processes). Now it is finding applications in the chemistry and pharmaceuticals (chiral separations). In this work, separation is coupled with reaction. The test systems is enzymatic inversion of sucrose coupled with a Ca2 resin as adsorbent. Modeling, simulation and operation of a pilot plants i...
The Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) technology is a mature one with above 100 applications in chemical industry (UOP Sorbex processes). Now it is finding applications in fine chemistry and pharmaceuticals (chiral separations). In this work, separation is coupled with reaction. The test system is enzymatic inversion of sucrose coupled with glucose/fructose separation using Ca2+ resin as adsorbent. Modeling, simulatio...
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 leadin...
