Abstract
Abstract An ion-exchange composition comprising a substrate of a macroporous synthetic resin having ion-exchanging sites at least on its available surface; and finely divided, synthetic resin particles having a volume average diameter less than 0.1 micron and greater than about 0.005 micron and having, at least on their outer surfaces, ion-exchanging sites which attract the ion-exchanging sites of the substrate, irreversibly attached as a monolayer to the available surface of the substrate. The composition is used for removal and separation of ions, and is especially useful in liquid ion-exchange chromatography.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A composition of matter for exchanging ions comprising: Component A, a substrate which consists essentially of macroporous synthetic resin, having ion-exchanging sites at least on its available surface, having a volume average pore diameter of X; and Component B, finely divided synthetic resin particles having a volume average diameter (D) less than 0.08 micron and greater than 0.005 micron and having, at least on their outer surfaces, ion-exchanging sites which attract available sites of Component A; wherein the particles of Component B are irreversibly attached as a monolayer to the available surface of Component A; provided that, the ratio X/D is from about 4 to about 30.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A composition of matter for exchanging ions comprising: Component A, a substrate which consists essentially of macroporous synthetic resin, having ion-exchanging sites at least on its available surface, having a volume average pore diameter of X; and Component B, finely divided synthetic resin particles having a volume average diameter (D) less than 0.08 micron and greater than 0.005 micron and having, at least on their outer surfaces, ion-exchanging sites which attract available sites of Component A; wherein the particles of Component B are irreversibly attached as a monolayer to the available surface of Component A; provided that, the ratio X/D is from about 4 to about 30.
