Benzyl Alcohol Removal
A 2% solution of benzyl alcohol in water has been identified as a suitable alternative to 20% ethanol as a preservative in resin storage solutions. A sample of TOYOPEARL SuperQ-650M resin was prepared by adding 100 mL of aqueous 2% benzyl alcohol to 100 mL of suction filtered resin. A 100 mL aliquot of DI water was added to the filtered resin and stirred to make a slurry. This resin/ DI water slurry was allowed to stand for 5 minutes and was then suction filtered to remove the supernatant. This procedure was repeated 14 more times, for a total of 15 washes.
Samples of the filtered supernatant from the TOYOPEARL SuperQ-650M resin was taken after the 5th, 10th, and 15th washes and analyzed for benzyl alcohol concentration. As demonstrated in the figure, a 2% benzyl alcohol solution can be removed from the TOYOPEARL SuperQ-650M resin by thorough washing with DI water.
