Merck, 573698-500G, Ambersorb® L-493 Polymeric Adsorbent

General description
AmberSep® OPTIPORE L-493 is a polymeric adsorbent developed for the concentration of organic compounds from air and water. It is a highly cross-linked styrenic polymer that is insoluble in strong acids, strong bases, and organic solvents. It has a unique pore size distribution and high surface area. It is a wet material intended for liquid applications and can be easily dried in a flowing stream of ambient temperature air. The adsorbent possesses a hydrophobic surface and has non-catalytic nature.
Application
Polyaromatic adsorbent for the concentration of organics from water; considered a better option than carbon.
Hydrophobic adsorbent with non-catalytic activity
High capacity for organic compounds
Macroporous beads with good mechanical strength

AmberSep® OPTIPORE L-493 Polymeric Adsorbent may be used in the:
Solid phase extraction of copper, lead, and iron from water and food samples
Kinetics study to examine the adsorption of acrylonitrile using zero-length columns
Extraction of desired complex in the evaluation of common laboratory methods for measuring cadmium content using ELECTRE technique
Comparative study to examine the adsorption behaviors of common polymeric adsorbents in the separation of phenol and BPA
Study to compare the adsorptive ability of resins in recovering alcohols
Determination of chromium in contaminated water samples from industries using FI-FAAS
Separation of acetic acid from volatile fatty acids (VFAs) mixture
