Simulated Moving Bed Technology. Principles, Design and Process Applications

  • Book

  • June 2015
  • Elsevier Science and Technology
  • ID: 3148987

Simulated Moving Bed Technology is one of only a few books solely dedicated to SMB. It aims to equip you with the tools and skills needed for SMB modelling, simulation, design and operation. The theory presented is supported by real-world examples from the petrochemical, sugar and pharma industries.

The core of the book focuses on SMB process development and model validation. It explains basic process concepts and definitions, fundamental principles and equations, as well as typical applications and recent advances made to address challenges. Its specialist content makes it a must have book for people working with SMB technology, chemical engineering post-graduate students and process and R&D engineers in industry.

Please Note: This is an On Demand product, delivery may take up to 11 working days after payment has been received.
