The present invention discloses a method for purifying indole-3-lactic acid from a Lactobacillus plantarum fermentation supernatant, using a fermentation supernatant of Lactobacillus plantarum ZJ316 with a deposit number CCTCC NO: M 208077, including the following steps: adsorbing the fermentation supernatant with a macroporous resin XAD-16 first, then performing elution, collecting an eluate corresponding to 50% methanol with a pH of 7, and concentrating the eluate to obtain a concentrate; performing separation on the concentrate through dextrangel G25 to obtain a G25-2 fraction; and purifying the G25-2 fraction by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography, and concentrating the collected eluate to obtain the indole-3-lactic acid. The indole-3-lactic acid obtained in the present invention has a purity of 99.00%, and has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.

A method for separating classes of hydrocarbon compounds from a feed stream including a hydrocarbon mixture is disclosed. The method includes the steps of passing a feed stream through a plurality of separation units arranged in a series in any order, wherein each separation unit has an adsorbent material; and separating classes of hydrocarbon compounds from the feed stream. When one of the plurality of separation units comprises an adsorbent material that is a metal organic framework selected from a zirconium, hafnium, cerium, or titanium-based metal organic framework, then another plurality of separation units includes an adsorption material that is different from the metal organic framework. The method is conducted in a liquid phase. The method can also use a single separation unit with a continuous cyclic bed apparatus. The method can be combined with refining and downstream processes.

Favorable isomerization conditions for producing normal paraffins can produce olefins. The process for separating normal paraffins from non-normal paraffins by adsorption has a limit on olefin concentration, so the olefins must be removed. We propose to remove olefins from the isomerization effluent stream that is recycled to the adsorption separation process.

The present invention relates to a method for separating poly-isoprene and/or other apolar valuable substances from vegetable feedstock, with a first pretreatment (100) of the vegetable feedstock; a percussive, cutting and/or rubbing mechanical processing (102) of the vegetable feedstock after the pre-treatment in a wet phase, during which the polyisoprene and/or other apolar valuable substances contained in the processed raw plant materials are extracted from the vegetable feedstock; and after the mechanical processing (102), a separation (104) of the polyisoprene and/or the other apolar valuable substances from the wet phase. The invention proposes that, before or during the mechanical processing (102) in the wet phase, an adsorber material (106) be added to the ground product mixture to create a method which makes it possible to obtain polyisoprene and other apolar valuable substances from plants having a low rubber content in a technically simpler manner.

A Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) device and method of using the same for manufacturing peptides is taught herein. The system comprises at least two reactors, each reactor including a quantity of SPPS resin. The reactors are positioned in series. A de-protecting agent is added to the first reactor and then transferred to the second and third reactors, in series, thereby operating to de-protect the protected N-group. Wash solvent is added to the first reactor and then transferred to the second and this operation repeated several times. Likewise, an amino acid activated ester solution is added, in series, to the first, second and third reactors, thereby operating to couple the amino acid to the de-protected N-group. Wash solvent is added to the first reactor and then transferred to the second and this operation repeated several times prior to the next cycle. The use of the reactors in series reduces the overall solvent required. Online LCMS is also used to monitor progress and identity of reactions happening within the solid phase resin particles.
