Simulated countercurrent moving‐bed chromatography is a thermal separation process which, due to its high selectivity, is often used to separate very similar molecules. As with a rectification column, a conventional chromatographic separator unit is designed with two product outlets for each component of the binary mixture. However, since multicomponent mixtures are more likely to be encountered in reality, the current work extends distillation's use of side‐stream withdrawal to moving‐bed chromatography in order to investigate the suitability of a side‐stream SMB for separating multicomponent systems.
