General description

AmberSep® OPTIPORE L-493 is a polymeric adsorbent developed for the concentration of organic compounds from air and water. It is a highly cross-linked styrenic polymer that is insoluble in strong acids, strong bases, and organic solvents. It has a unique pore size distribution and high surface area. It is a wet material intended for liquid applications and can be easily dried in a flowing stream of ambient temperature air. The adsorbent possesses a hydrophobic surface and has non-catalytic nature.

Application

AmberSep® OPTIPORE L-493 Polymeric Adsorbent may be used in the:
  • Solid phase extraction of copper, lead, and iron from water and food samples
  • Kinetics study to examine the adsorption of acrylonitrile using zero-length columns
  • Extraction of desired complex in the evaluation of common laboratory methods for measuring cadmium content using ELECTRE technique
  • Comparative study to examine the adsorption behaviors of common polymeric adsorbents in the separation of phenol and BPA
  • Study to compare the adsorptive ability of resins in recovering alcohols
  • Determination of chromium in contaminated water samples from industries using FI-FAAS
  • Separation of acetic acid from volatile fatty acids (VFAs) mixture
Polyaromatic adsorbent for the concentration of organics from water; considered a better option than carbon.
  • Hydrophobic adsorbent with non-catalytic activity
  • High capacity for organic compounds
  • Macroporous beads with good mechanical strength
