Abstract
AbstractMicroporous polyamide membranes were activated by 1,1′‐carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and subsequently bound with hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) to amplify reactive groups. Then poly‐L‐lysine (PLL) as ligand was immobilized onto the HEC‐nylon membranes. The contents in HEC and PLL of PLL‐attached membranes were 153.2 and 63.8 mg (g nylon membrane)−1, respectively. Such PLL‐HEC affinity membranes were used to adsorb bilirubin from bilirubin‐phosphate and bilirubin‐albumin solutions. The adsorption mechanism of bilirubin and the effects of temperature and ionic strength on adsorption were investigated by batch experiments. The results showed that the adsorption capacity increased with increasing temperature but decreased with increasing NaCl concentration, and the adsorption isotherm fitted the Freundlich model well. Dynamic experiments showed that PLL‐attached membranes can readily remove the bilirubin from bilirubin‐albumin solutions. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry
