Polystyrene Beads Modified with Ester Group and their Application in N-Heptane/Toluene Separation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polystyrene beads modified with ester group for the separation of n-heptane/toluene have been successfully prepared. The synthesized beads were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of ester group on equillibrium swelling ratio and toluene selectivity were studied. The selective factor firstly increases then decreases with the increasing of ester group content. When the content of ester group is 30%, selective factor reaches maximum, the value is 1.62. Polystyrene beads modified with ester group show excellent thermal stability.
