The chemical industry represents ca. 7% of the global GDP and 40% of its immense energy
footprint stems from the separation/purification processes of commodity chemicals …

The provision of pure enantiomers is of increasing importance not only for the
pharmaceutical industry but also for agrochemistry and biotechnology. In general, there are …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers (PCPs) are defined as
crystalline, open, coordination network architectures with potential voids. They have drawn …

Chromatographic separation processes are widely used to isolate and purify value added
products. Most frequently, such separation processes are performed exploiting the principles …

An increased commercial interest in fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) has emerged in the last
decade due to their prebiotic activity. At large scale, the FOS are produced by microbial …

This work studied the separation of propane and propylene using carbon dioxide as a
desorbent and binderfree zeolite 13X as adsorbent. The process occurred at a mild …

This work presents a comprehensive insight about simulated moving bed (SMB) technology,
from concept to unit operation and process demonstration. A particular relevance is given to …

As the leading polyester product chain, para-xylene (PX) is the most important xylene
isomer. In industry, high purity paraxylene is mainly produced by adsorption separation …

Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) mixtures produced by fermentation contain large amounts of
non-prebiotic sugars. Here we propose a mixed culture of Aureobasidium pullulans and …

Abstract Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) was successfully separated by size-exclusion
chromatography (SEC) using a simple, yet efficient, two-column, quasi-continuous …
