Comparison of Efficiency in Separation of Maltose and Glucose between Conventional Batch Chromatography and Simulated Moving-Bed Adsorber

Abstract

Maltose and glucose were separated either in a batchwise chromatographic column or in a simulated moving -bed adsorber packed with ion -exchange resin. Feeding rates of the sample solution per unit bed volume, P, were compared between these operation modes. P was three or four times higher in the simulated moving bed system than in the batchwise one. This tendency was confirmed experimentally.
