Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) systems are used for separations that are difficult using traditional separation techniques. Due to the advantage of adsorption-based chromatographic separation, SMB has shown promising application in petrochemical and sugar industries, and of late, for chiral drug separations. In recent years, the concept of integration of reaction and in-situ separation in a single unit has achieved considerable attention. The simulated moving bed reactor (SMBR) couples both these unit operations bringing down the operation costs while improving the process performance, particularly for products that require mild operating conditions. However, its application has been limited due to complexity of …
