In this work, supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol as cosolvent was employed to extract bioactive compounds fromPolygonum Cuspidatum. Effect of temperature for 40 and 50 C on the extraction at 35 MPa was examined. It was found that extraction at 50 C resulted in high yield. A two-stage extraction at 50 C and 35 MPa was then designed to investigate effect of cosolvent on the recovery of resveratrol and emodin. The first stage extraction by solely using carbon dioxide can rarely extract resveratrol, but adding ethanol as cosolvent in the second stage significantly increases the extraction of resverarol and emodin. The crude extract obtained in the second stage was very stable against agglomeration and precipitation, because the first stage extraction helped to remove impurities from thePolygonum Cuspidatum. The stable crude extract was subsequently used as the feed for the SMB (simulated moving bed) separation. In this work, experimental validation was completed by solely using single SMB to isolate resveratrol, emodin, and physcion from the crude extract. As conducting the SMB experiments, the Triangle theory was used to help to determine the separable operating conditions. From the discussion of the experimental results, the criterion to obtain the pure resveratrol and physcion, and the concentrated emodin were depicted. Since both the extraction and the purification are conducted at low temperature, the bioactivity of the produced natural products will totally be preserved. The two-stage extraction and subsequent purification in this paper will provide greener and effective alternative for the development of botanical drugs.

Simulated moving bed reactor (SMBR), a multicolumn multifunctional integrated reactor system, which can be exploited with on-site adsorptive separation to enhance conversion of equilibrium-limited reversible chemical reaction. In this article, for generality, a dimensionless SMBR model was developed and effects of five representative temperature distributions among different zones on the performance of an SMBR for reversible reaction in the general form of a reactant decomposed to two products were evaluated based on simultaneous maximization of unit throughput and product purity. Multipliers were applied to adjust some of the model parameters such that different operation modes can be compared under various conditions in the parametric space. The multiobjective optimization problems were solved using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. All simulations were carried out using FORTRAN codes. The results showed that both kinetics and adsorptive separation play important roles in SMBR. When kinetics is fast or adsorptive potency of the reactant is higher than the desired product (B) but lower than byproduct (C), non-isothermal operation can significantly improve unit throughput. On the contrary, feed concentration and reaction enthalpy have minor effects on the optimal solutions. Decision variables based on flow rate ratios and internal concentration profiles were used to explain the trends of Pareto optimal solution.

Abstract A mixture of galacto-oligosaccharides and non-prebiotic sugars was separated using a simulated moving bed unit equipped with eight packed-bed columns of a cation exchanger. In order to determine operating conditions using triangle theory, equilibrium adsorption isotherms of galactose, glucose, lactose, tri- and tetragalacto-oligosaccharide were measured. It was found that each column of the SMB unit had a maximum separation efficiency of more than 3000 theoretical plates. The achieved purity of galacto-oligosaccharides in the raffinate stream was 99.9 %, similarly 99.9 % of extract was formed by non-prebiotic sugars lactose, glucose and galactose. The productivities in the raffinate and extract, were 0.6 g/(L h) and 2.4 g/(L h), respectively.
