“…The product can be then recovered by elution of the loaded bed. A survey of relevant publications and patents [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] shows that although the principles of organic acids separation by the ion-exchange method are known, there are still many details which need to be further developed in particular systems. Such effort seems to be justified, because the technology based on the ion-exchange method allows one to obtain pure products in a single adsorption/desorption operation and makes possible an integration of the biosynthesis process with product separation and purification.…”
