Abstract

See full text

The presently disclosed subject matter is a new technology, related to a simulated moving bed membrane reactor. This novel technology includes a reactor with two different separation techniques: i) chromatography (simulated moving bed—SMB); ii) selective permeable membrane (namely, pervaporation and permeation, among others) into a single device, allowing a significant increase in the unity productivity and considerable reduction of solvent consumption and consequently lowers downstream costs associated to the following separation units, for the same product purity and reactants conversion criteria. It has its main applications in the chemical industry, particularly, in the continuous production of oxygenated compounds as esters, acetals, ethers, carbonates, among others.
