  • SIMULATED COUNTERCURRENT CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION PROCESS AND DEVICE WITH LOW PRESSURE DROP AND HIGH NUMBER OF ZONES
    Publication number: 20140148633
    Abstract: A simulated moving bed separation process is characterized in that the feed and desorbant injection streams are each divided into N streams (N being a whole number strictly greater than 1) injected respectively at N distinct feed injection points and at N distinct desorbant injection points, and in that the extract and raffinate withdrawal points are also each divided into N streams each withdrawn from N distinct withdrawal points, the device being constituted by 4×N chromatographic zones.

  • Simulated moving bed separation device
    Patent number: 8722955
    Abstract: A device (SMB) for separation by simulated moving bed adsorption comprises a plurality of elementary adsorption zones Zi in series operating in a closed loop, and at least one singular adsorption zone with a dead volume which is greater than the adsorption zones Zi, the solid adsorbant of said singular adsorption zone having a granulometry which is lower than that of the solid adsorbant of the ordinary adsorption zones.
    Type: Grant
