Abstract:
1. A method for producing a target substance by separating the target substance from a material, using a simulated moving bed chromatography separation system comprising an endless flow passage, the endless flow passage comprising: a plurality of columns filled with a particulate separating agent for separating the target substance; a plurality of connecting flow passages connecting the plurality of columns in series in the endless shape; and a pump supplying an eluant to the columns, wherein the material, from which the target substance in the material is separable by using a first simulated moving bed chromatography separation system satisfying a first condition, is used in a second simulated moving bed chromatography separation system satisfying a second condition, thereby the target substance is produced by separating the target substance from the material, the first condition is that a particle size of the separating agent is r the second condition is that a particle size of the separating agent is r when: Vd
