Reactive polymers, XXXVIII. Sorption of acid gases on macroporous 2,3‐epoxypropyl methacrylate copolymers modified by a reaction with amines

Abstract

Abstract Macroporous copolymers of 2,3‐epoxypropyl methacrylate and ethylenedimethacrylate modified by aminolysis yielded sorbents with various contents of amino and hydroxy groups. The dependences of structural characteristics of these sorbents and of the sorption of sulphur dioxide on the content of crosslinking agent and on the cyclohexanol/dodecanol ratio used as the porogenic medium in the preparation of copolymers were investigated. The sorption of sulphur dioxide depends on the geometrical structure of the sorbent, concentration, chemical structure and accessibility of functional groups.
