Intermittent simulated moving bed chromatography: 2. Separation of Tröger's base enantiomers

Katsuo, Shigeharu | Mazzotti, Marco
The intermittent simulated moving bed (I-SMB) process is a modification of the conventional SMB process that has been recently analyzed theoretically . Here, we present a comparative analysis of the two processes, each operated in a six column 1-2-2-1 configuration (one column in sections 1 and 4 and two columns in sections 2 and 3) and in a four-column 1-1-1-1 configuration. Experiments are carried out on a properly modified laboratory unit to separate racemic mixtures of the enantiomers of Tröger's base in ethanol on ChiralPak AD at a total feed concentration of 1g/L. Simulations are carried out for the same system using the equilibrium dispersive model and a bi-Langmuir isotherm, whose parameters have been preliminarily estimated from pulse and breakthrough experiments. Experiments and simulations are fully consistent and demonstrate that the four-column I-SMB process (but not the four-column SMB process) can separate the two enantiomers at very high purity and achieve a productivity twice as large as that of the six-column I-SMB and conventional SMB processes with the same solvent consumption.
