THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME POROUS CROSS—LINKED POLY （VINYLACETOPHENONE） RESINS AND THEIR CAPACITIES IN ADSORBING GYPENOSIDES

In search of a suitable adsorbent used for the enrichment and separation of natural saponins from an aqueous solution,a series of porous cross-linked poly (vinylaceto-phenone) resins I-Ⅸ were synthesized via the Friedel-Crafts acylation of styrene-divinyl-benzene copolymer beads.Their carbonyl contents were characterized by infrared spectra and elemental analysis.Their physical properties such as bulk densities,skeleton densities,and specific surface areas were also determined.The tests for the resins adsorption of gypenosides showed that only those resins with high carbonyl contents and large specific surface areas could favorably adsorb gypenosides from an aqueous solution with much higher capacities.
