Membranes and membrane processes for chiral resolution.
This critical review is devoted to an active field of research on chiral separation, membrane-based enantioseparation technique, which has potential for large-scale production of single-enantiomer compounds. Adsorption-type enantioselective membranes and membrane-assisted resolution systems with non-enantioselective solid membranes have attracted much attention recently. The principles and recent developments of both enantioselective liquid and solid membranes and membrane-assisted processes for chiral resolution will be summarized comprehensively in this review, in which the contents are of interest to a wide range of readers in a variety of fields from analytical, organic and medicinal chemistry, to pharmaceutics and materials, to process engineering for fabricating pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances and foods, and so on (148 references).
