TRILITE

Ion exchange resins for chromatography separation should have the following characteristics.

TRILITE® chromatography separation ion exchange resins satisfy all the criteria mentioned above and can achieve optimal separation efficiency through various cross linkages, ion types, size adjustments, and other modifications. We have a diverse product lineup including SAC exchange resins (gel type) and SBA exchange resins (gel type 1, 2)

• 

  Fructose/Glucose Separation

  · TRILITE® MCK Series is a Ca-form strong acid cation exchange resin for fructose/glucose separation, producing products with 90% or higher fructose content by exploiting the difference in affinity between fructose and calcium ions.
  · With 8% cross-linking and an average particle size of 210 µm, it meets the recommended conditions for F/G separation of 5–8% cross-linking and a particle size of 150–300 µm.
  · Its uniform particle size, with a uniformity coefficient of 1.1 or less, increases utilization of the effective resin bed to maximize operating capacity and reduces resin breakage during long-term use.

• 

  Allulose Purification

  · TRILITE® MCK Series is applied in the ion exchange step downstream of activated carbon pre-treatment to remove ionic substances from the allulose reaction solution.
  · It is used to obtain a high-purity allulose solution before crystallization.
  · Removing colored components in advance with activated carbon pre-treatment prevents resin overload, preserving exchange efficiency and resin life.

• 

  Oligosaccharide Separation

  · TRILITE® MCK Series is a Na-form strong acid cation exchange resin for size-exclusion chromatography, separating glucose and oligosaccharides based on differences in molecular weight.
  · With 6% cross-linking and an average particle size of 220 µm, it has a pore structure suited to excluding polysaccharides.
  · In a three-fraction separation at a flow rate of 0.027 L/h, an eluent volume ratio of 4.00, and 60°C, it upgrades a feed containing 46.03% disaccharides to 81.98%, with a recovery rate of 86.07%.

• 

  Sugar Recovery from Molasses

  · TRILITE® MCK Series is a K-form strong acid cation exchange resin for ion-exclusion chromatography, recovering residual sugar from molasses.
  · Owing to its ion-exclusion characteristics, in which electrolyte components such as reducing sugars and salts elute before sucrose, it selectively separates sucrose, a non-electrolyte.
  · It is applied in the recovery processes of many sugar refiners to increase sugar production.

• 

  Acid Purification — MA-23F

  · TRILITE® MA-23F is a UPS SBA Gel Type 2 Cl-form strong base anion exchange resin for acid recovery.
  · Based on the ion-exclusion principle, metal salts pass through and are discharged while free acid is temporarily retained; the acid is then recovered by elution with water.
  · Because recovery requires only water and no regenerant chemicals, it reduces both the cost of outsourced waste acid treatment and the cost of purchasing new acid.
