Optimization of azeotropic protein separations in gradient and isocratic ion-exchange simulated moving bed chromatography

The separation of dilute binary mixtures of proteins by salt aided ion-exchange simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography is optimized with respect to throughput, desorbent consumption and salt consumption. The optimal flow-rate ratios are analytically determined via an adopted "triangle theory". Azeotropic phenomena are included in this procedure. The salt concentrations in the feed and recycled liquid are subsequently determined by numerical optimization. The azeotropic separation of bovine serum albumin and a yeast protein is used to illustrate the procedure. Gradient operation of the SMB is generally preferred over isocratic operation. A feed of azeotropic salt concentration can only be separated in a gradient SMB. Desorbent and salt consumption are always lower in gradient than in isocratic SMB chromatography.     

Less common applications of simulated moving bed chromatography in the pharmaceutical industry

Simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography is often perceived in the pharmaceutical industry as chromatographic method for separating binary mixtures, like racemates. However, SMB can also be used for unbalanced separations, i.e. binary mixtures of varying compositions and multi-component mixtures. These less common application modes of isocratic SMB chromatography are exemplified for four different compounds (racemates and diastereomers) and discussed in view of the so-called 'triangle theory' from an industrial perspective.     

Simulated moving bed chromatography for the separation of enantiomers

Simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography, a continuous multi-column chromatographic process, has become one of the preferred techniques for the separation of the enantiomers of a chiral compound. Several active pharmaceutical ingredients, including blockbuster drugs, are manufactured using the SMB technology. Compared to single column preparative chromatography, SMB separations achieve higher productivity and purity, while reducing the solvent consumption. The SMB technology has found applications both at small and large scales. Design methods have been developed for robust operation and scale-up, using data obtained from analytical experiments. In the last few years, rapid developments have been made in the areas of design, improved process schemes, optimization and robust control. This review addresses these developments, as well as both the fundamentals of the SMB science and technology and some practical issues concerning the operation of SMB units. Particular emphasis is placed on the consolidation of the “triangle theory”, a design tool that is used both in the academia and industry for the design of SMB processes.     

Optimization strategy for simulated moving bed systems

Simulated moving bed (SMB) systems are of rising interest in the purification of pharmaceuticals or specialty chemicals (racemic mixtures, proteins, organic acids, etc.). This is particularly due to their advantage in solvent reduction, obtained productivity and purities as well as investment costs in comparison to eluent chromatography. This paper evolved from the need for a readily available algorithm in order to find optimal operating conditions for SMB chromatography systems with nonlinear or coupled adsorption isotherms. The herein developed algorithm is based on a semi-deterministic two-step approach. First, optimal operating conditions with regard to an objective function are found by knowing adsorption measurements only. In a second step actual SMB results are used to adapt the initial isotherm measurements and match the simulation with the experiment. The algorithm is verified on a bench-scale SMB unit applied for the separation of a racemic epoxide with Chiralcel-OD as stationary phase. The developed algorithm improved the productivity of the investigated experimental design by 24%.     

Optimization of simulated moving bed and column chromatography for a plasmid DNA purification step and for a chiral separation

This work analyzes the performance of the SMB and the column chromatography processes for two different case studies: the first stage of the plasmid DNA (pDNA) polishing, and the Tr?ger's base enantiomer separation, in which the adsorption isotherms are linear and non-linear, respectively. Simulation tools are used together with an optimization routine (Non-Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA)) in order to find the optimum operating conditions leading to maximum productivity and minimum solvent consumption; the optimum solution for each of the processes is a curve on the productivity-solvent consumption plane, the so-called Pareto set. The comparison between the column and the SMB processes is based on the relative position of the two Pareto sets calculated at equal conditions and for the same final purity and recovery of the target species. The results show that SMB is superior to column chromatography in the two case studies investigated, i.e. in the case of the linear isotherm (pDNA), the productivity gain is up to a factor two for a given value of the solvent consumption. Furthermore, the flexibility of the SMB operation is larger, since the Pareto sets are flatter and they prolong into regions of the productivity-solvent consumption plane that are not accessible with the column chromatography process.     

Enantioseparation of a chiral epoxide by simulated moving bed chromatography using Chiralcel-OD

Summary The feasibility of using simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography for the chiral separation of a racemic epoxide with Chiralcel-OD as the stationary phase is demonstrated on a semi-preparative scale. Operating conditions for the separation are chosen with the help of a simple chart that depicts visually the interrelationships between the system flow rates and the SMB design criteria. The 12 column (each 100 mm×16 mm ID) SMB system continuously resolved the racemic mixture at a rate of 11.5 g/24 hr into streams with 95% and 94.4% e.e. (enantiomeric excess). A comparison of the SMB process with an optimized multiple-injection conventional chromatographic separation showed similar specific production rates for both methods, but a seven-fold lower solvent consumption for the SMB.     

Separation of stereoisomers in a simulated moving bed-supercritical fluid chromatography plant

The combination of two techniques, simulated moving bed (SMB) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), leads to an apparatus with unique features. Besides the known advantages of the SMB process, like reduced solvent consumption and its continuity, the use of supercritical carbon dioxide as the mobile phase offers an easy product recovery by depressurizing the supercritical fluid. Details of a SMB-SFC plant are presented for the first time. Due to the large number of process parameters a simulation of the SMB process is necessary to achieve optimal operating conditions. The most important thermodynamic information for a SMB process is the adsorption isotherms. Therefore, isotherms for two phytol isomers are measured and correlated. A fast dynamic model for the simulation of SMB is used to calculate the region of complete separation taking different column configurations and the compressibility of the mobile phase into account.     

Optimization of a hybrid chromatography-crystallization process for the separation of Tröger's base enantiomers

This paper presents an analysis of a hybrid process consisting of simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography and crystallization and studies its performance for the separation of the Tr?ger's base enantiomers. The SMB is simulated using a detailed model including column efficiency, thus, implying a proper evaluation of the effect of column size on column efficiency and separation performance. The crystallization operations are accounted for through material balances, assuming equilibrium between enantiopure crystals and mother liquor. A genetic algorithm is used to optimize the combined process, using proper definitions of objective functions. Multi-objective optimization of this hybrid process for productivity and evaporation cost in terms of operating parameters, column length, and SMB feed concentration shows an optimum SMB purity value as a trade off between increased SMB performance and recycle of the mother liquor.     

Micellar gradients in size-exclusion simulated moving bed chromatography

The selectivity of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) can be modified by adding non-ionic micelles to the mobile phase. Surfactant-aided size-exclusion chromatography (SASEC) can therefore very well be performed in a gradient mode on an SMB, as is reported in this paper. A method has been developed for correctly positioning a micellar gradient over an SMB. The method is applied for size-exclusion chromatography with the non-ionic surfactant C12E23 as gradient forming solute, and demonstrated by applying it to a relevant chromatographic protein separation problem.
