The aim of this work was to separate 1,3-PDO from a synthetic mixture using polymeric resins, Amberlite XAD-7 and XAD-16 resins. The equilibrium adsorption of 1,3-PDO onto two polymeric resins were investigated in binary and tertiary systems. Experimental results of binary component adsorption equilibrium indicated that the adsorption capacity (q) of 1,3-PDO at 160 g/L onto XAD-7 and XAD-16 was 835.96 and 584.61 mg 1,3-PDO/g dry resin, respectively. The adsorption isotherms were closely predicted by the Langmuir-Freundlich model among the two isotherm model tested. The value of n of 1,3-PDO adsorbed on XAD-7 are much higher than those on XAD-16. This result suggested that XAD-7 resin has a higher affinity for the 1,3-PDO adsorption than XAD-16 resin. Moreover, the value of adsorption capacity of 1,3-PDO in the binary and tertiary component were compared at the same conditions. In the tertiary system, although the selectivity of 1,3-PDO from XAD-7 was approximately six times higher than XAD-16, the adsorption capacity of 1,3-PDO at 160 g/L onto XAD-16 was higher than XAD-7. Interestingly, the reusability of XAD-7 and XAD-16 resins in the three cycle times shows a slight loss of adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the investigation about desorption by an ethanol/water mixture at 50% (V/V) indicated that the desorption yield of 1,3-PDO from XAD-7 was lower than XAD-16 resin for both the binary and tertiary component. This was due to the more favorable adsorption characteristics of XAD-7 resin than XAD-16 resin.
