  • Method for chiral resolution and device therefor
    Patent number: 10597339
    Abstract: A method is described for chiral resolution of chiral species contained in a liquid placed in a cell formed by an inner wall and an outer wall surrounding the inner wall over at least a portion of the inner wall, where each of the outer and inner walls are a solid of revolution about a longitudinal axis and are coaxial to one another, where the method comprises rotating the outer wall in one direction of rotation with respect to the inner wall for generating a Taylor-Couette flow within the liquid; collecting at least one of the chiral species.
