Conceptual design and simulation of a plant for the production of high purity (S)-ibuprofen acid using innovative enzymatic membrane technology

(S)-Ibuprofen is a low volume but high value pharmaceutical product which is categorized as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This precious chiral drug may be produced using racemic ibuprofen as raw material through the dynamic kinetic resolution. In this work, a simulation of (S)-ibupro...
