Summary
A moving column-bundle counter-current chromatographic system consisting of twelve 0.9 cm id×72.5 cm long glass columns has been used for the separation of glucose-starch and glucose-maltose mixtures. The system was packed with Spherosil XOBO75 for the glucose-starch separation and with Dowex-5OW-X4K+ for the glucose-maltose separation.
Purities of up to 100% were obtained and the operating throughputs were up to 4.4 kg sugar solids/m3 resin/hr.
