In this work, a separation of Guaifenesin via the use of a Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) process was modeled. An SMB process was designed, using the equilibrium theory to estimate the flow rates in the different sections of the SMB. Equilibrium theory is a simplified model of the SMB process, neglectin...
