  • Publication number: 20210116425
    Abstract: A sample is stored in a container (125) disposed upstream of a back-pressure control valve (140). A mixed fluid of carbon dioxide in a supercritical state and a modifier is introduced into the container, and a component contained in the sample is extracted. The extracted component is introduced into a trap column (135) together with the carbon dioxide and the modifier and collected in the trap column. The trap column is loaded with polymer beads as a filler.

  • Publication number: 20190176126
    Abstract: Disclosed is a separation material comprising: a porous polymer particle containing a crosslinked polymer containing a structural unit derived from a crosslinkable monomer having an aromatic group and two or more vinyl groups bonded to the aromatic group; and a coating layer coating at least part of the surface of the porous polymer. The coating layer contains a first graft chain that is a polymer having a hydroxyl group bonded to the crosslinked polymer, and a second graft chain that is a polymer having a hydroxyl group, bonded to the first graft chain, and being different from the first graft chain.
