Abstract
Abstract Ionically modified cellulose material in which the ionic moiety is linked to the cellulose moiety via the carbonyl group of the bridge member --CO--NH--CH 2 --O-- is suitable for being employed as the stationary phase in processes for separating mixtures of ionically charged components by chromatography, if the ionically modified cellulose material is obtainable from microcrystalline wood cellulose in the form of powder, as the starting material, the cellulose having a degree of polymerization of 490 to 550, and the cellulose powder consisting of particles having a specific BET surface area of 0.8 to 1.1 m 2 /g and a degree of swelling in water at 20° C. of 4 to 6 ml/g.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
An ionically modified cellulose material in which each ionic moiety is linked to the cellulose moiety via a group of the formula --O--CH.sub.2 --NH--CO--, the carbonyl group being attached to the ionic moiety of the material and the oxygen atom being attached to the cellulose moiety of the material, which material is obtained from microcrystalline wood cellulose in the form of powder as the starting material, said cellulose powder having a degree of polymerisation of 490 to 550 and consisting of particles having a specific BET surface area of 0.8 to 1.1 m 2 /g and a degree of swelling in water at 20° C. of 4 to 6 ml/g.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
An ionically modified cellulose material in which each ionic moiety is linked to the cellulose moiety via a group of the formula --O--CH.sub.2 --NH--CO--, the carbonyl group being attached to the ionic moiety of the material and the oxygen atom being attached to the cellulose moiety of the material, which material is obtained from microcrystalline wood cellulose in the form of powder as the starting material, said cellulose powder having a degree of polymerisation of 490 to 550 and consisting of particles having a specific BET surface area of 0.8 to 1.1 m 2 /g and a degree of swelling in water at 20° C. of 4 to 6 ml/g.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
86 words
A process for the preparation of the ionically modified cellulose material of claim 1 by reacting cellulose with a compound containing an N-methylolamide group, which comprises employing, as the starting material, microcrystalline wood cellulose in the form of powder, the cellulose having a degree of polymerisation of 490 to 550 and the cellulose powder consisting of spherical particles having a specific BET surface area of 0.8 to 1.1 m 2 /g and a degree of swelling in water at 20° C. of 4 to 6 ml/g.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
In a method of separating a mixture of substances by contacting a fluid containing said mixture with a reversible absorbant, at least a fraction of the components of said mixture having an ionic charge, the improvement comprising contacting said mixture-containing fluid with the ionically modified cellulose material of claim 1 as the solid absorbent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
In a method of chromatographically separating a mixture of substances, at least a fraction of the components of said mixture having an ionic charge, by causing a mobile phase containing said mixture of components to flow through a stationary phase, the improvement comprising passing said mobile phase through the cellulose material of claim 1 as stationary phase.
