Question:
Briefly explain why the SMB system is much more efficient (i.e., uses less solvent and less adsorbent) than an elution chromatograph doing the same binary separation. Assume that both systems are operating in migration mode using isocratic elution. Both systems are optimized. Elution chromatography uses repeated pulses of feed.
