Abstract

The separation of valuable sugar components from a xylose mother liquor (XML) requires a pre-decolorization over a resin, however the market-available resins show a low performance. To overcome this drawback, an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) resin was designed for efficiently removing the non-sugar impurities from an XML. The prepared IPN resin showed good decolorization performance for the XML, and the decolorization effect of the XML on the resin modified with a short-chain amination reagent was better. The adsorption capacity of the resin for phenols was significantly improved after an amination-modification, but that for furfural remained constant. The theoretical study confirmed that good decolorization effect of the XML on that resin was mainly ascribed to the synergistic action of adsorption forces, such as π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding.
