Preparation of Weak Cation-Exchange Packings Based on Monodisperse Porous Poly (Chloromethylstyrene-co- Divinylbenzene) Beads and Its Applications in Separation of Biopolymers
单分散树脂基质的弱阳离子交换色谱固定相的制备及其在生物大分子分离中的应用研究

Monodisperse polystyrene seed particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization of styrene in ethanol and water under a nitrogen atmosphere using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. Then the monodisperse, porous poly (chloromethylstyrene-co-divinylbenzene) beads in the range of 6 - 15 microm were prepared by one-step swelling and polymerization method. Based on this media, a new hydrophilic weak cation exchange stationary phase (WCX) for high performance liquid chromatography was synthesized by a new chemical modification method. The stationary phase was evaluated on the behavior of ion exchange, separability, and hydrophilicity. Effects of the nature of salts and pH value on the separation and retention of proteins of the stationary phase were investigated in details. It was found that the WCX resin follows ion exchange chromatographic retention mechanism. It was also used for the rapid separation and purification of lysozyme from egg white in only one step. The purity was found more than 96% and specific bioactivity of the purified lysozyme was as high as 71 184 U/mg.
