Lewatit® VP OC 1074 is a food grade, macroporous, strongly basic (type I) anion exchange resin based on a crosslinked polyacrylate. It is bead-shaped and has a special bead size distribution for a use in the following processes:- Lewatit WS system (fluidized bed)
- Lewatit VWS system (compound fluidized bed)
- Standard co current regenerated system
On account of its excellent mechanical stability, very good chemical stability and its osmotic properties, in the chloride form Lewatit VP OC 1074 is suitable for the decolorization of:- juices from sugar production, especially cane sugar
- solutions of organic products, e.g. glycerin, amino acids
The macroporous structure and balanced resin matrix of Lewatit VP OC 1074 facilitate the kinetic os adsorption and desorption. Substance adsorbed, e.g. high-molecular hydrophilic anionic organic substances and colorants from sugar solutions, can be desorbed easily by regeneration with a neutral or alkaline sodium chloride solution. Lewatit VP OC 1074 is therefore highly recommended for use wherever complete and rapid removal of a relatively high concentration of organic substances is required. Use in combination with other Lewatit adsorber resins such as Lewaitt S 6328 A or Lewatit S 6368 SULFATE allows simultaneous fine polishing.Information provided by Lanxess. |
