Correlation between Adsorbabilities and the Functional Groups of Glycidyl Jomo Polymer*

Synopsis: Glycidyl homo polymer obtained from the reaction of epichlorohydrin with sodium llydroxide in bulk was converted to acetylated-, butyrated-, oxydated-, cleaved-GHP etc. in order in compare the adsorbabilities of the derived polymers for methylene blue in liquid phase and air. The adorbabilities for methylre blue : Purified-, 0.181 ; cleaved-, 0.178 ; oxydated-, 0.177 ; butyrated-, 0.137 ; acetyrated-GHP, 0.121 etc. (cf. GHP, 0.192). The difference of volume (V__<He>-V__<Air>)/V__<He> : cleaved-, 9.2 ; butyrated-, 3.1 ; acetyrated-, 1.5 ; oxydated-GHP, 0.0 (cf. GHP, 4.9). It was noted that the adsorbability of a molecule is not in proportion lo the surface area and under the influence of functional groups included according to the experimental results
