Abstract

Selectivity problems may arise for the isomerization of sugars catalysed by ion-exchangers if diffusion becomes relatively slow. Therefore, experiments were carried out to determine the diffusion coefficients of glucose in a gel type (IRA 401) and a macroreticular type (IRA 938) of ion exchanger. Formulae are given that correlate diffusivity with sugar concentration, temperature and polymer fraction of the ion-exchanger.
