SLIDE 12 Resin Adsorption/Desorption of OMW ROc
- XAD4 and XAD16N yielded the best results. Even though the sample contained more carbohydrates than
phenols, resins adsorbed the dissolved phenols at a higher percentage.
- When water was used as a desorption solvent, the small amount of carbohydrates that was adsorbed on the
resin was desorbed at a high percentage (60%). Ethanol, on the other hand, almost selectively removed the adsorbed phenols, while acetone removed both, carbohydrates and phenols.
- Kinetic experiments allowed the optimization of flow rates and total volume of treated sample before the
resin surface was saturated.
