리모넨은 오렌지 향이 있는 천연의 키랄 화합물로 주로 감귤껍질과 레몬껍질에 함유되어 있다. $4^{\circ}C$로 냉장 보관한 감귤 껍질을 에탄올을 용매로 속슬렛 추출기에서 2시간동안 $120^{\circ}C$에서 추출하였다. 역상 HPLC 분석을 통해 d-리모넨과 불순물의 헨리 상수를 계산하여 $H_{Lim}=8.55$, $H_{imp}=0.223$를 얻었다. Aspen chromatography 프로그램을 사용해서 $0.46{\times}25cm$ 칼럼으로 이루어진 4-bed SMB의 리모넨 전산모사를 수행하였고 삼각도내의 $m_2$, $m_3$ 값을 변경하면서 순도가 가장 높은 분리 조건을 찾았다. 그 결과 가장 높은 순도는 98.59%이고, $m_2=2.57$, $m_3=9.55$였다. 이 때의 feed 유량은 1 mL/min, desorbent 유량은 1.19 mL/min, extract 유량은 0.857 mL/min, raffinate 유량은 1.34 mL/min이었다. Scale-up 전산모사를 위해 칼럼의 직경을 1.6 cm로 늘린 4-bed SMB에서 직경이 0.46 cm인 4-bed SMB와 같은 결과를 갖는 조건을 찾기 위해 유량을 칼럼 부피 비에 정비례하여 증가시켰다. 이 때 feed, desorbent, extract, raffinate의 유량은 각각 12 mL/min, 14 mL/min, 10 mL/min, 16 mL/min이었다. 리모넨과 불순물의 등온흡착곡선을 선형으로 가정하였기에 칼럼 부피에 정비례하여 유량을 증가시키는 scale-up이 가능하였다.

A simulation study for finding purity changes of extract and raffinate as well as the best purity of (S)-ketoprofen in simulated moving bed (SMB) was performed with changing parameters of $m_2$ and $m_3$ from triangle theory. Aspen simulator allowed separation process simulation of (R)- and (S)-ketoprofen in SMB and compared 4-bed SMB and 8-bed SMB based on the same Henry constant and mass transfer coefficient. The 4-bed SMB consisted of 4 columns (200 mm of length, 10 mm of diameter) and the 8-bed SMB constructed by 8 columns (100 mm of length, 10 mm of diameter), and therefore total column length was made the same as 800 mm. Considering purities of both (R)-and (S)-ketoprofen, both 4-bed SMB and 8-bed SMB had the best purity when $m_2$ and $m_3$ were on 12.0 and 13.0 in the center of triangle. Taking only (S)-ketoprofen into account, 4-bed SMB as well as 8-bed SMB had the best purity when $m_2$ and $m_3$ were on 10.9 and 12.6 in the left outside triangle, and their purities were 93.3 % for 4-bed SMB and 96.9 % for 8-bed SMB.

A new one-column chromatography process, analogous to a four-zone simulated moving bed (SMB), was presented. The basic principle of the process was identical to that of a four-zone SMB. The process consisted of one chromatographic column and four tanks, instead of the four columns in the four-zone SMB (1-1-1-1), and has been used for the separation of two amino acids, phenylalanine and tryptophan, using an ion exchange resin. The operating parameters for the one-column process and four-zone SMB were obtained from equilibrium theory. Computer simulations were used to compare the performances of the new one column process to that of the general four-zone SMB, using Aspen $Chromatography^{TM}$ v 11.1. The differences between the one-column and SMB processes in terms of the purities and yields of phenylalanine and tryptophan were less than 4 and about $6\%$, respectively. The lower purities of the one-column process were due to the loss of the developed concentration profiles in the column when the liquid was stored in tanks. The one-column process gave great flexibility, and would be useful for reconstructing an existing conventional chromatography process to one of a SMB.
