Adsorbents

PUROSORB™ Polymeric Adsorbents

Polymer Matrix	Pore Diameter (Å)	Pore Volume (ml/g)	Surface Area (m²/dry g)	Moisture Retention (%)	Remarks & Applications
Polystyrenic	350	0.7	700	58 - 64	These two polystyrene based polymeric adsorbents offer consistent enhanced performance over carbon and other adsorbents and are specifically designed for selective adsorption of molecules with a relatively low molecular weight. Polystyrenic adsorbents are more selective to non-polar products and their pore size has been tightly controlled to enhance this selectivity. The variations in surface area and pore volume give each product unique advantages in certain applications. This includes the removal of hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents from ground waters and industrial waste streams.
Polystyrenic	400	0.7	720	55 - 61
Polystyrenic	620	1.0	700	63 - 69	This unique product, characterized by medium size pores and a narrow particle size distribution, offers definitive advantages over standard grade adsorbents. Its uniform beads ensure lower pressure drop in service duty and enhanced elution profiles of the adsorbed species on desorption. Typical applications include the extraction and separation of antocyans and polyphenols from grape must and other fruit juices.
Polystyrenic	600	1.1	950	58 - 64	These three products differ in offering a range of surface areas, pore volumes and pore sizes specifically tailored for applications where medium to large molecular weight species are targeted within the application. Typical applications include the isolation and purification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.
Polystyrenic	630	1.1	830	58 - 64
Polystyrenic	700	1.2	550	56 - 62
Polystyrenic	1000	1.5	800	67 - 73	Special manufacturing techniques are employed to manufacture this range of polystyrene based adsorbents offering the largest pore sizes. They are designed to capture the largest molecular weight species in a wide range of applications such as the extraction of antibiotics from fermentation broths or bitterness removal from citrus juices.
Polystyrenic	1100	1.6	540	62 - 68
Polyacrylic	280	0.5	90	59 - 65	These products are all based on an acrylic matrix which gives them different chemical properties. Their less hydrophobic structure enables them to outperform polystyrene based synthetic adsorbents in non-polar media but does not mean they cannot be used in aqueous solutions. They have widely differing surface areas, pore volumes and pore sizes to cover a wide range of applications. The changes in these parameters alter the selectivity of each product.
