Abstract
Abstract A composite porous material comprising a particulate inorganic porous material and, contained in the pores of the material, an organic resin having a micro-void. The composite porous material has a surface area larger than that of the inorganic porous material. The composite porous material has a high dimensional stability comparable to that of an inorganic porous material while exhibiting a high separating and adsorbing capacity comparable to that of the conventional ion exchange resin or chelate resin. Therefore, it can advantageously be used as an adsorbent for various compounds or ions as well as a packing material for gas or liquid chromatography.
