Systems and methods for separation of chiral compounds using magnetic interaction

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for use in the separation of chiral compounds and in particular enantiomers. The system includes a cavity 110 for containing a fluid mixture comprising one or more types of chiral molecules, which may also include enantiomers, and at least one ferromagnetic providing at least one interface 130 with the fluid mixture. Or a paramagnetic substrate 120. Substrate 120 is magnetized to provide a magnetic field Bz perpendicular to the ferromagnetic or paramagnetic interface 130, whereby the interaction energy of chiral molecules of different orientations known as enantiomers and the interaction energy of the substrate 120 Provide change.
