An alternative process to separate the isomeric mixture of fructose and glucose is presented. A laboratory study of a two-column, selectivity inverted, direct-mode parametric pump is reported. An anionic resin in carbonate form and a cationic resin in calcium form are used as adsorbents for the columns. The experimental results show that it is possible to simultaneously obtain separation and concentration with this system. A kinetic model assuming linear equilibrium, intraparticle pore diffusion, and axial dispersion is proposed and solved. The model solutions are compared with experimental results, and the comparisons indicate good prediction capabilities.
