Separation of glucose/fructose mixture: counter-current adsorption system

In the present study a simulated counted current adsorption system was used to separate two components with different adsorption selectivity. The system consists of four columns connected in series, packed with Lewatit MDS 1368. The mathematical model was developed to calculate concentration profiles in the adsorbers where the adsorption isotherms were presented by linear equations. Concentration profiles were calculated from a dispersed flow model. On the basis of this model a theoretical system analysis was carried aout showing that there is an optimal ration of process parameters (feed/eluent) where the effectiveness of separation in counter current adsorption system can be improved.
