Abstract | In this study, a three-section simulated moving bed (SMB) with an open-loop design is used to fractionate polyethylene glycol (PEG) with different molecular weights. The purchased PEGs are mixed and separated by the open-loop SMB. A size-exclusion column with a pore size ranging from 10 to 100 nm, TOSOH GMPW 7.5 mm × 30 cm, is used to separate the mixtures. Based on the Triangle theory, the operating parameters of the SMB are determined and used to separate the three binary mixtures. The results show that the PEG mixtures with molecular weights of 400 and 8000, and those of 1500 and 20,000, are separable, yet those of 1500 and 3500 are difficult to separate by the selected column. The relative elution for molecular weights of 400 and 8000, and 1500 and 2000, is 1.49 and 1.54, respectively, resulting in easy separation. However, the difference in the elution volume for mixtures with molecular weights of 1500 and 3500 is so small that the operation condition is confined to a tiny area on the (m(2), m(3)) plane defined by the Triangle theory. This makes robust application of the SMB impossible. Fortunately, it is still possible to obtain pure raffinate with low recovery, but a pure extract is still not possible. It is concluded that the low selectivity of the binary mixture and the fluctuation of the operation result in the difficulty in separating the 1500 and 3000 molecular weight mixtures. This paper presents the operation procedures, including the selection of the column, the discovery of selectivity, the application of the Triangle theory and the experimental results, in order to illustrate how to apply an SMB to the fractionation of PEGs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
