A New Method for Preparation of Anion Exchange Resins Based on Crosslinked Polvstvrene

摘要

This paper presents a new method for preparing anion exchange resins based on crosslinked polystyrene which consists in the acylation of crosslinked polystyrene by FriedelCrafts reaction followed by reductive amination. Aminated resins are quaternized to formcorresponding strong base anion exchange resins. The method avoids the use of carcinogenic chloromethyl methyl ether which is widely used in the preparation of commercial anion exchange resins.
