  • Title: Adsorption behaviour of sugars versus their activity in single and multicomponent liquid solutions.
    Author: Nowak J, Poplewska I, Antos D, Seidel-Morgenstern A.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2009 Dec 11; 1216(50):8697-704. PubMed ID: 19201417.
    Abstract:
    In this work the activity of three carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose and fructose) in highly concentrated aqueous solutions was studied along with its effect on the adsorption behaviour of the investigated compounds. Activities of individual sugars in aqueous solutions of single solute as well as in binary mixtures were quantified on the basis of solubility properties. Solid-liquid equilibria of sugars were correlated with the NRTL (nonrandom, two liquid) model of activity coefficient formulation. Activities of individual sugars were incorporated into the single component adsorption isotherm model, which reproduced accurately the course of the adsorption equilibria of sugars in aqueous solutions obtained experimentally in previous work using an ion-exchange resin. Activities of sugars determined in binary solute systems along with the single component isotherms were used to predict competitive adsorption equilibria. To calculate adsorbed phase concentrations of individual sugars in binary mixtures the adsorbed solution theory was adopted. The isotherm shapes calculated were compared to the data of competitive adsorption from the former study and found to be able to describe these experimental results.
