Abstract
Abstract Acylated chitin derivatives prepared by acylating a soluble derivative of chitin using an organic acid anhydride hitherto have not been able to effectively adsorb or separate substances with a molecular weight greater than 70,000. This problem has now been overcome by effecting acylation in the presence of a diluent, a porosity-regulating agent and one or more surfactant so as to obtain a porous acylated chitin derivative. In one embodiment an aqueous solution of the soluble derivative of chitin containing the diluent, the porosity-regulating agent and a surfactant is contacted with a liquid containing the organic acid anhydride and a surfactant. Typically, the porosity regulating agent is benzene or a volatile alkylbenzene, such as toluene or xylene, and the surfactant is a monolaurate, monopalmitate, monostearate, monooleate or trioleate of sorbitan or of polyoxyethylene sorbitan. The porous product can be employed as an ion-exchanger or in chromatographic columns as a filler.
