Abstract

The adsorption effects of several macroporous adsorption resins for gibberellic acid (GA3) were investigated. The dynamic adsorption capacity is 58.38 mg/g dry beads for resin R4 and 96.46 mg/g dry beads for resin R5 which is consistent with the surface area. Aqueous methanol (50%, V/V) is a good eluent and the yield of GA3 is above 95%. The concentration of GA3 could increase five-fold after an adsorption-elution cycle and this is important when considering further crystallization of GA3 in an industrial process.
