example i
[0021] Porous chitosan resin was synthesized according to a phase inversion technique. This was accomplished by preparing a 7% chitosan solution by dissolving approximately 20 grams of chitosan flakes (practical grade) in 3.5% acetic acid. The mixture increased in viscosity and gelled upon the completion of the chitosan addition. Further dilution with acetic acid resulted in a solution having approximately 3% chitosan flake. This provided for a chitosan solution having a more manageable viscosity. The total amount of acetic acid used to dissolve the chitosan flake was approximately 665 milliliters. The solution was then filtered to separate any undissolved materials. This chitosan solution was then added dropwise to a precipitation bath of 2 molar sodium hydroxide to yield water swollen gel beads. The gel beads were then filtered and washed with deionized water until neutral, pH of the wash water being approximately 7.

example ii
[0023] Porous chitosan resin was synthesized according to the phase inversion technique in Example 1. In this example the heterogeneous cross-linking of the chitosan beads was accomplished by suspending the beads for several hours in a 2.5% aqueous solution of glyoxal. After cross-linking, the beads were filtered and washed with warm deionized water to remove any excess glyoxal. The beads were then freeze dried which resulted in porous glyoxal cross-linked chitosan resin beads.
example iii
[0024] Porous chitosan resin was prepared according to a thermally induced phase separation procedure. A 4% chitosan solution was prepared by dissolution of chitosan powder (Vansen Chemical; 92% deacetylation) in 3.5% acetic acid. A precipitation bath of sodium hydroxide (2 molar) in 20:80 methanol / water solution was prepared and cooled to 0° C. The chitosan solution was then added dropwise to the precipitation bath with moderate stirring. Precipitation of chitosan occurred shortly after addition of the solution to the precipitation bath. The precipitation bath having the chitosan precipitate was then allowed to return to room temperature. The resulting beads were filtered and washed with deionized water until the wash water became neutral, having a pH of approximately 7.
[0025] Heterogeneous cross-linking of the chitosan beads was then accomplished by suspending approximately 396 grams of wet beads in approximately 1980 milliliters of 2.5% aqueous glutaraldehyde solution for severa...
