Flushing and Regeneration of Column with Polymer Matrix
1 Introduction of Column with Polymer Matrix Polymer matrix columns (Sugar-H, Sugar-Ca) may be contaminated, resulting in decreased column efficiency. Thus, flushing and regeneration are required. However, when flushing these columns with strong organic solvent, the column packing materials which exposed to some organic solvents will swell and column bed will be damaged. The swelling degree of the packing materials depends on the cross-linking degree of the polymer. Generally, the polymer whose cross-linking degree is higher than 8-10% has better physical stability. The shrinkage in the aqueous solution and the expansion in the organic solvent are both small, but limitation of using condition still need to be paid attention. 02 Daily Flushing 03 Regeneration and Flushing 04 Precaution 1. There is no need to worry that 85 °C is so high that it will damage the column. Activation and use of polymer matrix column at 85 °C is better than at 50-60 °C. 2. Before the column temperature reac
