Abstract

A continuous simulated moving bed chromatographic focusing process is disclosed for separating and concentrating multiple components from a complex mixture. Said process comprises a number of zones that are connected in series. An eluent flows unidirectionally along the zones and decreases its desorption strength by sequential dilutions zone after zone. Each zone is detachably installed with a chromatographic column and the columns are periodically relocated one zone upstream. Multiple components of a sample are introduced into a downstream zone, absorbed on the column in the zone, brought zone by zone upstream by column relocations, and selectively desorbed from different zones to get separations. A component desorbed from one zone is reabsorbed by the column in the adjacent downstream zone and is again brought back to said zone by column relocation said component is thus retained between said zone and said adjacent downstream zone and is accumulated by continuous sample feeding and repeatedly column relocation.

Description

Simulated moving bed chromatographic focusing
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of using the simulation moving-bed structure of multizone to carry out continuous chromatography.More precisely be a kind of focus on separate and enriched mixture in different single composition in the invention in zone separately.
Background technology
Chromatography can be divided into dual mode: chromatography mode and continuous chromatography mode in batches.Most conventional chromatography takes in batches the chromatography mode to carry out.Usually, chromatography separates sample in batches in batches.The separation process of each batch constitutes by steps such as identical last sample, wash-out and fraction collection, chromatographic column regeneration.The advantage of chromatography is to be used for the separate complex compound in batches.But for to guarantee good separating effect, applied sample amount should be lower than 1% of chromatographic column cumulative volume.This is one of chromatography mode defective in process of production in batches.Owing to finishing back next batch separation fully, last batch of separation process just can begin again, so another shortcoming of chromatography mode is to need the separation of cost plenty of time obtain quantitative product in batches.Simultaneously, limited chromatographic column length has hindered the separation of analogue compounds, and this is the another one shortcoming of chromatography in batches.
Be different from chromatography in batches, continuous chromatography is a process that goes up sample, wash-out, fraction collection continuously.The injection of sample, wash-out and fraction collection carry out simultaneously.Thus, increased applied sample amount; Improved production efficiency; Eluant, eluent and filler have been saved.Simulated moving bed chromatography system (hereinafter to be referred as the SMB system) is typical continuous chromatography.Fig. 1 has shown the course of work of SMB system.As shown in the figure, the SMB system is made up of several districts, and these districts are connected into a cover can be by the circular loop of liquid.Chromatographic column be placed in each district and can be simultaneously in the same way from move to next district when the proparea.Two inlets and two liquid outlets are arranged respectively in this loop.Import F is used to supply with sample, and import D is as the input stripping liquid.Outlet R is as collecting weak adsorption component (raffinate), and outlet E is as collecting strong adsorption component (extract).Liquid flow direction is opposite with the chromatographic column moving direction in the loop.Sample is by the continuous injected system of import F.Weak adsorption component is come out by wash-out from outlet R, and strong adsorption component is retained in the chromatographic column, along with chromatographic column is distinguished to moving to the next one along the back washing off-square.Final strong adsorption component is come out by wash-out from outlet E.The separation that is applied to two constituents mixts of SMB system success, as: separation mirror isomers, sucrose and non-sugar ingredient, dimethyl benzene and isomer thereof.Outstanding high yield makes chromatography have more the major advantage that economy is the SMB technology.Yet it can only be used to separate two constituents mixts the characteristic limitations of SMB technology, and can not be used to a plurality of compositions in complex mixture of separation and purification simultaneously.Even be used to once in a while extract some compositions from complex mixture, it must be the strongest or the most weak also requiring the adsorption capacity of this composition on filler to compare with the adsorption capacity of other composition, otherwise the SMB system can't extract it from mixture.
The limitation of SMB system applies comes from its separation principle.A composition in the mixture may move along both direction in the SMB system.One is the stripping liquid wash-out, and composition (along the wash-out direction) downstream moves, two for chromatographic column reset drive composition upstream (back washing off-square to) mobile.When the chromatographic column travel frequency is fast, all become branch's upstream direction to move.If the adsorption capacity difference of two compositions on chromatographic column, when they by simultaneously from import F injected system the time, they have different translational speeds.If the travel frequency of the flow velocity of stripping liquid and chromatographic column is suitably regulated, then the one-tenth branch upstream direction of high adsorption capacity moves and comes out from outlet E wash-out, and the weak composition downstream of adsorption capacity moves and comes out from outlet R wash-out.
But when also being mixed with other composition in this mixture, they will move and its pollution the most at last along with the composition of high adsorption capacity or with the composition a little less than the adsorption capacity.By the same token, for the separate complex mixture more multi-region and the more also not success of trial of multiple exit are set in the SMB system.When the adsorption capacity of certain composition in the complex mixture when not being strong or the most weak, other component separation that the SMB system equally can not be similar to adsorption capacity with it comes.Therefore, be the separate complex mixture, separation principle must be different with the principle of SMB system.
SMB chromatography process is a dilution.The concentration of composition behind the purifying in cut be its in sample original content 1/tens.Be cut and the saving eluent that obtains high concentration, several patents have in the past been used gradient elution in the SMB system.These patents comprise: United States Patent (USP) (patent No.: US 4031155, US 4031156); U.S. Patent application (20020017492, WO 0033943).The way of gradient elution is: utilizes stripping liquid and sample solvent desorption ability different in chromatographic column, produces two desorb intensity along the wash-out direction, thereby with gradient mode sample separation composition.This can be saved stripping liquid by the improvement of patent protection, and makes its concentration in raw sample of concentration ratio of extract in the cut higher.Yet the principle of typical SMB system has been continued to use in these several inventions, so still can only separate two composition samples.Use the purpose of gradient elution to be that the composition that upstream direction is moved is come out by wash-out from system faster, saves stripping liquid simultaneously.Same gradient elution mode is also described in following article: Dorota Antos et al. (Chemical Engineering Science, VOL.56, (2001) 6667-6682), Thomas.B.Jensen et al. (Journal of Chromatography A, 873 (2000) 149-162), Stefanie Abel etal. (Journal of Chromatography A, 944 (2002) 23-29), Joukje Houwing et al. (Journalof Chromatography A, 944 (2002) 189-201), Dorota Antos et al. (Journal ofChromatography A, 944 (2002) 77-91), Joukje Houwing et al. (Journal of ChromatographyA, 952 (2002) 85-98).United States Patent (USP) (patent No.: US 6069289) discloses another one and has used two kinds of stripping liquids to carry out the process of gradient elution.This method can be used for separation and contain three kinds of mixture of ingredients.This patent focuses on three kinds of compositions in the separating mixture how, the low concentration problem of cut is not improved.Because the production process of this patent requires to contain 2.2-10 that the volume of the cut of extract is necessary for sample volume on the sample doubly.Also be that the concentration of separating composition in the tails is 0.1-0.45 times of concentration in raw sample.Simultaneously, this patent has also adopted typical SMB system principle.
In sum, for separating a complex mixture, the continuous chromatography process must be used the principle that is different from typical SMB system.This system should be able to the separate complex mixture, should be a low consumed continuous process of high production, effectively to save filler and eluant, eluent, higher productive rate is arranged, and can obtain the cut concentration higher than raw sample concentration.
Summary of the invention
Be the separate complex mixture, the focusing unit (hereinafter to be referred as the F unit) that simulated moving bed chromatographic focusing system (hereinafter to be referred as SMBCF) forms be designed to key features of the present invention.The F unit constitutes by being marked as F (1) several districts to F (f), and these districts are connected on together, and a chromatographic column is installed in each district.The main eluent of system enters from F (f) district and flows out from F (1) district.When main eluent flow out from a district, when entering contiguous next one district, system modifies to reduce its desorption ability main eluent.At least comprise several districts in the F unit, the desorption ability of the eluent that wherein passes through differs from one another.F (1) district and F (f) district can adjacently put, and make these districts that are cascaded form an annulus.But may not having liquid between F (1) district and F (f) district exchanges.Chromatographic column in all districts all periodically flows direction from moving to adjacent region when the proparea against main eluent simultaneously.Sample mixture injects from a certain district in downstream, be adsorbed on the chromatographic column in this district, and along with chromatographic column back washing off-square to move met a district by a district band upstream.Each composition in the sample in same district not successively under the desorb, thereby separated.The composition that is focused is present in F (i+1) district that the F (i) that contains low desorb intensity eluent distinguished and contained higher desorb intensity eluent dynamically.The weak composition of absorption affinity is entered F (i) district by main eluent downstream wash-out in F (i+1) district, and moves into mixture in F (i) district with chromatographic column converge and be adsorbed on again in the chromatographic column in F (i) district from the catchment.Composition comes to this and is accumulated and along with moving of chromatographic column is brought into again in F (i+1) district.Because what chromatographic column did not stop moves and the continuous sample introduction of system, be focused just accumulating gradually between F (i) and F (i+1) distinguish of composition.If between F (i) and F (i+1) district, from main eluent, collect a small size cut, can obtain the high concentration composition that a purifying is crossed at every turn.
The present invention has realized with this target of continuous chromatography method separate complex mixture, and this target almost is not reached with existing chromatography method.Method of the present invention can effectively increase productivity, reduce the processing procedure after production consumption, increase product yield and purity, the simplification chromatography.Contrast chromatography mode in batches, mode of the present invention can effectively be saved chromatography media, solvent and disengaging time, and can effectively improve productive rate.With the comparison of SMB chromatography mode, the present invention afterwards obtains to have superiority aspect the high concentration composition with separating in the separation of complex mixture.

The specific embodiment
The present invention uses the focusing unit that comprises several districts to realize that continuous chromatography focuses on.Shown in accompanying drawing 2a, there are a chromatographic column liquid feeding end interface 1 and a chromatographic column outlet end interface 2 in each district.Interface 1 is connected with ascending pipe 3, and leaves opening 5 on ascending pipe 3.Equally, interface 2 is connected with discharge pipe 4, and leaves opening 6 on discharge pipe 4.Chromatographic column 7 is connected between interface 1 and the interface 2 by dismountable.Chromatographic column 7 can be filled mutually by any chromatography is fixing, comprising: positive, anti-phase, ion exchange phase, affinity phase, chelating phase, chirality phase, ligand exchange phase, molecular sieve mutually with organic polymer mutually.Chromatographic column 7 also can be filled mutually by monolithic.Interface 1 and interface 2 can be made of any connected mode, and these connected modes not only will allow liquid stream in ascending pipe 3, chromatographic column 7 and discharge pipe 4 intermediate flow, and also will guarantee does not have fluid seepage when mobile when chromatographic column 7 is rapid in the focal zone.Using the separating liquid rotary valve is the connected mode of typical interface 1 and interface 2.Opening 5 is used for carrying out liquid stream with proximity with opening 6 and is connected.Ascending pipe 3 is used for the injection of liquid stream.Discharge pipe 4 is used for the discharge of liquid stream.The injection of liquid stream and discharge all are subjected to a device control.But duration, volume and speed that this device regulator solution stream injects and discharges.
Accompanying drawing 2b has showed the operating process of the present invention.This process comprises following operation:
1.F the unit is used for chromatofocusing.The F unit comprises f district (f is the integer greater than 4).These are distinguished by continuous lining up, and with the sequence notation of F (f) to F (1).Wherein F represents the F unit, the position of a district of the digitized representation in the bracket in the F unit.F (f) district is defined as upstream extremity, and F (1) district is defined as downstream.Opening 6 in opening 5 in a certain district on the ascending pipe and the adjacent upstream on the discharge pipe links to each other, and constitutes passage 8.Because F (f) district and F (1) district are the two ends of F unit, institute thinks the discharge pipe discharge that makes main eluent enter and distinguish from F (1) from the ascending pipe in F (f) district, can be with closure of openings or the cancellation on above-mentioned two pipes.
2. in the F unit, select at least 4 ascending pipes and at least 2 discharge pipes to be used for injection and the discharge that liquid flows, seal remaining ascending pipe and discharge pipe.Set the composition and the flow velocity of the liquid stream that passes through in each selected ascending pipe and the discharge pipe, thereby in the F unit, form the desorb gradient of an expection.This gradient can be: ionic strength gradient, close ester gradient, PH gradient, chelating gradient, hydrogen bond gradient, affinity gradient, chirality gradient and other any chromatography gradient.Not chosen ascending pipe recited above and discharge pipe also can be open-minded again arbitrarily on demand, and close branch branch ostium on it simultaneously to finish liquid communication.
3. carrying out continuous chromatography focuses on
(1) by selected ascending pipe and discharge pipe, with flow velocity and the composition of setting, continuously and injection simultaneously and discharge following liquid:
Inject the main eluent that high desorb intensity is arranged from the ascending pipe in F (f) district;
Inject sample liquid from least one selected ascending pipe;
Inject the focusing liquid of low desorb intensity from remaining selected ascending pipe.Focus on liquid and mix, constitute the wash-out that a lower eluent of desorb intensity is used for this district from the ascending pipe injection in a certain district and with the eluent that elutes from adjacent upstream.The desorb gradient produces with the method exactly.Be the strongest desorb intensity of F (f) Qu Zhongyou, the most weak desorb intensity of F (1) Qu Zhongyou;
Collect corpusculum hydrops stream from selected discharge pipe, and collect main eluent from the discharge pipe in F (1) district;
(2) periodically reset chromatographic column in F (f) district to F (1) district, and make all the other chromatographic column upstream direction move a district at synchronization to carry out continuous chromatography focusing.Now focusing principle is set forth as follows: a mixture is injected the F unit by the ascending pipe from a certain district, some compositions in the mixture have very weak adsorption capacity in the chromatographic column in this district, so they are entered into the catchment by the eluent wash-out in this district.Other composition in the mixture then is adsorbed on the chromatographic column, and the band that is met a district by a district along with the replacement of chromatographic column upstream.Again because the difference of desorb intensity in the same district not, thus each composition got off by the desorb of selectivity, thereby be able to and other component separation.One in a certain district the composition under the desorb brought back to adjacent catchment by eluent, be adsorbed in (mixture that contains new injection in this chromatographic column) on the chromatographic column again at that.This composition is because the replacement next time of chromatographic column, brought back to again in the district that it was once got off by desorb.Along with the replacement repeatedly of continuous last sample and chromatographic column, this composition just is maintained between two above-mentioned districts, thereby with other component separation and concentrated.If collect corpusculum hydrops stream from the discharge pipe in above-mentioned district, just can obtain the high concentration composition that purifying is crossed.Same, those in above-mentioned two districts not the composition under the desorb will be brought to farther upstream, remain in the district that is fit to separately, with other component separation and focus on.Opposite, will be by the downstream wash-out by the composition of aforementioned two district's absorption, keep in the same way and focus on suitable separately position.
Fig. 3 has shown another concrete form of the present invention.Fig. 3 has increased a R unit that is used for chromatographic column regeneration on the basis of Fig. 2 a, 2b.This improvement is the extension to Fig. 2 a, 2b form.The R unit comprises r district (r is an integer).The sequence notation of these districts from R (r) to R (1), and with the identical connected mode connection in Fig. 2 b F unit.The R unit is placed in the upstream of Fig. 2 b F unit, makes R (1) district adjacent with F (f) district.As setting up a flow channel, can seal or remove the opening 6 on the discharge pipe 4 during the opening 5 on the ascending pipe 3 and R (1) are distinguished in R (r) district from the ascending pipe in R (r) district to the discharge pipe in R (1) district.If in the R unit, there is not extra liquid stream to inject and collection process, the preferably ascending pipe of sealing except that R (r) district in and whole ascending pipes and the discharge pipe the discharge pipe in R (1) district, or use and do not have the alternative branch of the pipeline branch ostium formation fluid course that divides branch ostium.Improvement to process shown in Fig. 2 b also comprises:
(1) injection and the discharge of additional liquid stream: inject regenerated liquid continuously and receive this regenerated liquid from the discharge pipe in R (1) district from the ascending pipe in R (r) district.
(2) improvement that chromatographic column is reset: the chromatographic column in the R (r) that periodically resets the simultaneously district is to F (1) district, and the chromatographic column in replacement F (f) district is to R (1) district, with remaining chromatographic column from be reset to corresponding adjacent upstream district when the proparea.
The described process of Fig. 3 is to remove to be adsorbed on the impurity on the chromatographic column in F (f) district securely.Regenerated liquid (regeneration solution) has than the stronger desorption ability of eluent in F (f) district.When chromatographic column when F (f) district is reset to the R unit, regenerated liquid can be from chromatographic column the aforesaid impurity of flush away.In some cases, the R unit can comprise a district, and regenerated liquid enters and discharges from discharge pipe from the ascending pipe in this district.In the R unit, use the advantage in a plurality of districts to be to save regenerated liquid.
Because chromatographic column can be reset to F (1) district in the F unit from the R the R unit (r) district, so this process will be brought the regenerated liquid of high desorption ability into F (1) district, that is to say, have the liquid of high eluting power will temporarily be present in F (1) district along with finishing that each chromatographic column is reset.If lower and stable this condition of desorb intensity is to the vital words of wash-out in F (1) district, above-mentioned situation will influence the application of native system.Form shown in Figure 4 has promptly solved this problem.Fig. 5 has increased the balance that a B unit carries out chromatographic column on the basis of Fig. 3.The B unit comprises b district (b is an integer).The sequence notation of these districts from B (b) to B (1), and with the identical connected mode connection in Fig. 3 F unit.The B unit is placed in the upstream of Fig. 3 R unit, makes B (1) district adjacent with R (r) district.As setting up a flow channel, can seal or remove the opening 6 on the discharge pipe 4 during the opening 5 on the ascending pipe 3 and B (1) are distinguished in B (b) district from the ascending pipe in B (b) district to the discharge pipe in B (1) district.If in the B unit, there is not extra liquid stream to inject and collection process, the preferably ascending pipe of sealing except that B (b) district in and whole ascending pipes and the discharge pipe the discharge pipe in B (1) district, or use and do not have the alternative branch of the pipeline branch ostium formation fluid course that divides branch ostium.Improvement to process shown in Figure 3 also comprises:
(1) injection and the discharge of additional liquid stream: inject equilibrium liquid continuously and receive this equilibrium liquid from the discharge pipe in B (1) district from the ascending pipe in B (b) district.
(2) improvement that chromatographic column is reset: the chromatographic column in the B (b) that periodically resets the simultaneously district is distinguished to F (1); Chromatographic column in replacement F (f) district is distinguished to R (1); Chromatographic column in replacement R (r) district is distinguished to B (1).Remaining chromatographic column is reset to corresponding adjacent upstream district from working as the proparea.
In some cases, the B unit can comprise a district, and equilibrium liquid enters and discharges from discharge pipe from the ascending pipe in this district.In the B unit, use the advantage in a plurality of districts to be to save equilibrium liquid.
Different with this method of sample on the ascending pipe in a certain district from the F unit shown in Fig. 2 a, the 2b, 3 and 4, beyond having shown from the F unit, goes up Fig. 5 the method for sample.Fig. 5 is adding a S unit that is used for sample on Fig. 4 basis.The S unit comprises s district (s is an integer).The sequence notation of these districts from S (s) to S (1), and with the identical connected mode connection in Fig. 4 F unit.The S unit is placed in the upstream of B unit among Fig. 4, makes S (1) district adjacent with B (b) district.As setting up a flow channel, can seal or remove the opening 6 on the discharge pipe 4 during the opening 5 on the ascending pipe 3 and S (1) are distinguished in S (s) district from the ascending pipe in S (s) district to the discharge pipe in S (1) district.If in the S unit, there is not extra liquid stream to inject and collection process, the preferably ascending pipe of sealing except that S (s) district in and whole ascending pipes and the discharge pipe the discharge pipe in S (1) district, or use and do not have the alternative branch of the pipeline branch ostium formation fluid course that divides branch ostium.Improvement to process shown in Figure 4 also comprises:
(1) injection and the discharge process of additional liquid stream: inject sample liquid continuously and flow out liquid from the discharge pipe reception in S (1) district from the ascending pipe in S (s) district.In the F unit, there is not the injection of sample.
(2) improvement that chromatographic column is reset: the chromatographic column in the R (r) that periodically resets the simultaneously district is distinguished to B (1); Chromatographic column in replacement B (b) district is distinguished to S (1); Chromatographic column in replacement S (s) district is distinguished to F (1); Chromatographic column in replacement F (f) district is distinguished to R (1).Remaining chromatographic column is reset to corresponding adjacent upstream district from working as the proparea.
In some cases, the S unit can comprise a district, and sample liquid is injected from the ascending pipe in this district, discharges from discharge pipe.In the S unit, use the advantage in a plurality of districts to be to inject a large amount of samples and to prevent sample loss.
When not having impurity absorption in F (f) district and require to keep lower and stable eluotropic strength in F (1) district, form shown in Figure 6 just can satisfy this condition.Form shown in Figure 6 is the simplification to form shown in Figure 5.B in Fig. 6 (1) district is adjacent with F (f) district, has removed the R unit among Fig. 5.Improvement to process shown in Figure 5 also comprises:
(1) to the injection of liquid stream and the improvement of discharge process: cancelled the injection and the discharge of regenerated liquid.
(2) improvement that chromatographic column is reset: the chromatographic column in the F (f) that periodically resets the simultaneously district is distinguished to B (1); Chromatographic column in replacement B (b) district is distinguished to S (1); Chromatographic column in replacement S (s) district is distinguished to F (1).Remaining chromatographic column is reset to corresponding adjacent upstream district from working as the proparea.
Same, from Fig. 6, can remove the B unit.Different unit further constitutes other combining form, has more than to be limited to several that the present invention exemplifies.
If in some applications, do not have impurity in the eluate (flow out fluid) in F (1) district and do not have then to make up shown in Fig. 2 b and can be modified to combination shown in Figure 7 on the chromatographic column of impurity absorption in F (f) district.That is: the opening 6 during the opening 5 on the ascending pipe 3 is distinguished with F (1) in F (f) district among Fig. 2 b on the discharge pipe 4 connects and composes flow channel.Liquid flow path direction control device 10 is installed in the above-mentioned flow channel, makes liquid stream flow back to F (f) district from F (1) district.Above-mentioned liquid flow path direction control device 10 comprises: check valve, fluid pump and other are used to form the conventional equipment of one-way flow.The advantage of Fig. 7 is to save eluent.
With Fig. 2 a, 2b to continuous liquid collection mode shown in Fig. 7 different be that Fig. 8 has shown a non-continuous process by liquid stream displacement carrying out fraction collection in the F unit.The displacement of liquid stream allows the special time in operating process selectively to collect cut.Collection process can carry out also can carrying out once after chromatographic column replacement several times after each chromatographic column is reset.Liquid stream substitute mode among Fig. 8 is collected for liquid elasticity is provided, and obtains to have advantage aspect the purer product how.As shown in Figure 8, the displacement of liquid stream betides F (i) district (i is an integer less than f) of F unit.Triple valve 11 is installed in the branch location of ascending pipe and discharge pipe in F (i) district.In the routine operation of Fig. 7, triple valve is in full-gear at Fig. 2.In order to carry out the displacement of liquid stream, routine operation is discontinuous.And following operation bidirectional can take place:
(1) in the F unit, suspends injection and the discharge that liquid flows at least simultaneously.
(2) switch three-way valve is closed the fluid exchange between the discharge pipe in the ascending pipe in F (i) district and F (i+1) district; Close the fluid exchange between the ascending pipe in the discharge pipe in F (i) district and F (i-1) district.Form the flow channel of a discharge pipe of distinguishing from the ascending pipe in F (i) district to F (i) as shown in Figure 8 with this.
(3) ascending pipe from F (i) district injects a replacement fluid, and collects this displacement liquid by the discharge pipe in F (i) district.
(4) switch three-way valve is got back to full-gear, restarts Fig. 2 to operating process shown in Figure 7.
Occur in conventional liq with shown in Figure 8 different, shown in Figure 9 liquid displacement and flow when carrying out, rather than occur in conventional liq flow suspend after.As shown in Figure 9, triple valve 11 is placed in the branch location of F (i) district ascending pipe.Triple valve is in full-gear during routine operation, and can be switched to a position and close fluid exchange between the discharge pipe in the ascending pipe in F (i) district and F (i+1) district, allow to collect whole liquid of coming from F (i+1) district with this from the discharge pipe in F shown in Figure 9 (i+1) district.Simultaneously, the focusing liquid that should inject from the ascending pipe in F (i) district is replaced by a displacement liquid, and this displacement liquid has and the identical desorb intensity of eluent during F (i) distinguishes.After liquid displacement, this displacement liquid is gained routine and is focused on liquid, and triple valve is switched back full-gear, and routine operation is restarted again.Above process has the advantage identical with process shown in Figure 8.
The present invention can realize chromatographic column reset process simultaneously with the similar separating liquid rotary valve of the described technology of United States Patent (USP) (US, the patent No. is 3706812) with one.This process can be realized by the separating liquid rotary valve of two rotations synchronously equally: a shunting rotary valve is installed in ascending pipe one end and connects as injecting, another is installed in discharge pipe one end as discharging connection, makes the injection of liquid stream and discharge to take place on the flow channel between two adjacent regions simultaneously.The replacement of chromatographic column also can realize by a mechanical process.This process comprises: suspend in the time of liquid flow; Chromatographic column is from breaking away from when the proparea; Reinstall chromatographic column restarting to adjacent upstream and liquid flow.Any method that is used for the chromatographic column replacement all can be used for this process of the present invention.
The present invention is the different of separation principle with former simulated moving bed chromatography system (being designated hereinafter simply as SMB) technology major different.The separation principle of SMB chromatography is that two groups or two kinds of compounds are pushed to upstream district and downstream district respectively from last sample district, and receives diluted composition respectively in these two districts.Separation principle of the present invention is heterogeneity to be retained in the given zone and from these distinguish the composition of collecting after concentrating.Because the difference of separation principle makes the present invention have many and the visibly different characteristics of prior art.
First characteristics of the present invention are: form eluent desorb gradient at the focusing unit that is connected (F unit).In theory, the eluent in each district all has desorb intensity separately.Each district all can keep a specific composition.The desorb intensity level that presents in focusing unit is many more, just has more composition energy separated.Between these districts, the effect of the more little separation of difference of desorb intensity is good more.Even, still multiple desorb strength grade need be arranged in focusing unit from complex mixture, separating under a kind of situation of composition.For example: a target component is focused between F (i) district and F (i+1) district, if the eluotropic strength difference between these two districts is excessive, then target component can be polluted by other composition in this complex mixture; If the eluotropic strength difference between these two districts is too small, then target component can be diffused into beyond these two districts, and is overlapping with other composition, weakens focussing force.For target component and other component separation are opened and made it to be accumulated between F (i) district and F (i+1) district, in the catchment in F (i) district, should there be an eluotropic strength to be lower than the eluent in F (i) district at least; At least in the upstream in F (i+1) district, should there be another eluotropic strength to be higher than the eluent in F (i+1) district simultaneously.This has just determined that each contiguous area has at least the gradient of four different eluotropic strengths to exist in the focusing unit, to carry out chromatofocusing of the present invention.Requirement to eluotropic strength number in the focusing unit is one of feature of technology before the present invention obviously is different from.Although the technology before a lot of has been used gradient separations in the SMB system, in gradient, only there are two desorb intensity and just are used for binary and separate.
Shown in Fig. 2 b, a composition is focused between two adjacent focal zone F (i) and F (i+1) dynamically.This composition should be adsorbed in the chromatographic column in F (i) district, and when this chromatographic column was reset to F (i+1) district of upstream from F (i) district, this composition should be got off by desorb from chromatographic column.Owing to this reason, the eluotropic strength of eluent must be lower than the eluotropic strength of eluent in F (i+1) district in F (i) district.Also because of same reason, the focusing liquid of a low eluotropic strength should be introduced in F (i) district and F (i+1) flow channel between distinguishing.Because of this composition by after desorb is got off from F (i+1) district again wash-out get back to F (i) district, so the collection of this composition also should occur in the flow channel between above-mentioned two districts.Both having focused on the injection of liquid and the collection of composition is to occur on the same flow channel that connects between F (i) district and F (i+1) district.The liquid that technology before all is carried out for the formation gradient injects with collecting and all occurs on the different flow channels.This is the present invention and the former obvious difference of technology.
" focusing " speech meaning in the present invention is for keeping and accumulation.In order to obtain purifying
Figure C20038010359700181
, the composition of high concentration, what the volume that composition is collected should be relative is little.Should be from a collected cut volume of given zone less than 50% of the effluent volume that passes through this district.This point obviously is different from United States Patent (USP) 6069289 disclosed technology (although this patent has been used two kinds of eluents in the SMB system).As patent 6069289 is described: " flow velocity of second stripping liquid should be raw material inject flow velocity 2.5-12 doubly.The flow velocity of collecting second cut approximately is 90% of the second stripping liquid flow velocity.Although " the 6069289 disclosed specification requirements protections of this patent be to separate a mixture to become three parts, be not that the binary of other patented technology is separated, it still all is different from the present invention fully in mechanism and operation.
Compared with prior art the present invention has many advantages.It is a high yield, low consumption, continuous chromatography process; It has saved a large amount of chromatographic stuffings and solvent; Handle the required time again after having saved separation and having separated.Technology of the present invention can accumulate the composition of low concentration in a certain district, when the concentration of this composition began to raise, pollutant wherein can be squeezed away from this district.In this way, the present invention can provide purer product.
The present invention has very high purifying productive rate equally.In the LC of routine, a certain composition is eluted in several cuts usually, but has only 1 to 2 cut that gratifying purity is arranged.Other cut is then by contaminating impurity.Be in economic consideration and abandon these cuts usually, also therefore greatly reduce productive rate.In the present invention, required composition from and only be collected from that the highest district of purity, contaminated that part of composition still is retained in the system in adjacent region, is further purified and focuses on that the highest district of purity up to them.Therefore the amount of composition is not suffered a loss.
The present invention can use in the laboratory, also can use in industrial processes.Instrument based on focusing principle of the present invention can be combined and be used for the laboratory and separate with industrial.Generally, any simulation moving-bed design that can be used for chromatofocusing process of the present invention all belongs to scope of the present invention.
