WHAT IS SMBC?
In manufacturing, thesimulated moving bed(SMB) process is a highly engineered
process for implementing chromatographic separation. It is used to separate one
chemical compound or one class of chemical compounds from one or more other
chemical compounds to provide significant quantities of the purified or enriched
material at a lower cost than could be obtained using simple (batch) chromatography.
It cannot provide any separation or purification that cannot be done by a simple
column purification. The process is rather complicated. The single advantage which it
brings to a chromatographic purification is that it allows the production of large
quantities of highly purified material at a dramatically reduced cost. The cost
reductions come about as a result of: the use of a smaller amount of chromatographic
separation mediastationary phase, a continuous and high rate of production, and
decreased solvent and energy requirements. This improved economic performance is
brought about by a valve-and-column arrangement that is used to lengthen the
stationary phase indefinitely and allow very high solute loadings to the process.
In the conventionalmoving bed techniqueof production chromatography the feed
entry and the analyte recovery are simultaneous and continuous, but because of
practical difficulties with a continuously moving bed, simulated moving bed technique
was proposed. In thesimulated moving bed techniqueinstead of moving the bed,
the feed inlet, the solvent or eluent inlet and the desired product exit and undesired
product exit positions are moved continuously, giving the impression of a moving bed,
with continuous flow of solid particles and continuous flow of liquid in the opposite
direction of the solid particles.
