“…This intensified reaction-separation technology adopts the name simulated moving bed reactor (SMBR). A considerable number of applications have been reported considering SMBRs, among others: enzymatic reaction for higher-fructose syrup production [137][138][139][140], intensified synthesis of fructooligosaccharides [12], esterification from acetic acid and b-phenethyl alcohol to produce b-phenethyl acetate [141] or methyl/ethyl acetate ester from methanol/ethanol [142][143][144], synthesis and separation of methanol from syngas [145], lactosucrose production [146], MTBE synthesis [147], diethylacetal (dimethylacetal) synthesis [148][149][150][151], ethyl lactate synthesis from lactic acid and ethanol [152], biodiesel synthesis [153,154], in situ isomerization and separation of p-xylene [155,156], and, more recently, in the production of single enantiomers [157]. These examples prove the potential of this technique.…”
