Abstract
Bentonite-acrylamide-histidine with an average particle diameter of 200-1000 (mu)m was produced by bulk polymerisation of bentonite, acrylamide, bisacrylamide, AIBN and histidine. Bentonite-acrylamide-histidineCu(II) microcomposite was prepared by loading copper ions. The microcomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), specific surface area and elemental analysis. Cytochrome c adsorption studies were performed, for the first time, by using the new metal chelated affinity support (bentonite-acrylamide-histidineCu(II)) microcomposite in batchwise experiments. 47 Refs.
