The combination of a chemical or biochemical reaction and a chromatographic process in a single unit‐operation may improve the course of reaction as well as the chromatographic separation efficiency. In a chromatographic reactor the products are continuously removed from the reaction zone. Therefore, a higher conversion and better yield or even an enhanced selectivity in comparison to conventional processes is achieved by the integrated process. Additionally, the combination of two unit operations in one apparatus leads to smaller capital expenditure.
