Abstract

The article deals with the synthesis of water-soluble derivatives of chitin and chitosan from cysts of crustaceans of the genus Artemia Parthenogenetica of the Aral Sea by carboxymethylation of OH and NH2 groups of their chains. The elution, viscosity and polyelectrolyte properties in size exclusion liquid chromatography of carboxymethylchitin and carboxymethylchitosan were studied. The suppression of electrostatic effects and the implementation of the exclusion mechanism for the separation of these polysaccharides were achieved by using an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate with a concentration of 0.1 mol/l as an eluent, which was recommended for determining molecular weight characteristics.
