Published: December 2002

The possible application of polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) of chitosan and copolymers of maleic acid with N-vinylpyrrolidone, styrene, and ethylene and/or chitin cross-linked sorbents (CCLS) synthesized on the basis of PEC for sorption of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) was studied. The synthesis of spherically granulated sorbents was shown. Compared to unmodified chitosan, there was a significant increase in sorption of WGA by the PEC: PEC, 2.5-fold, and CCLS, from 3.5-fold to 7-fold.
