The invention relates to efficient modified resin for adsorbing epicatechin. According to the method, alkalescent resin D301G is taken as a
raw material, and chloromethylation is carried out to prepare the D301G-Cl resin. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding D301G-Cl resin and N, N-
dimethylformamide into a three-necked flask with a stirrer and a
thermometer, sealing a cover, soaking, and adding NaCl, p-aminobenzene
sulfonic acid and NaOH into the flask; stirring the
mixed solution by using a stirrer, and reacting for a period of time at constant temperature; and after the reaction is finished, filtering by adopting a filter screen with a certain mesh number, and recycling filtrate. Repeatedly washing the resin with
ethanol and
distilled water until the added AgNO3 solution does not precipitate; the modified resin (D301G-SO3 <->) with the
sulfonic acid group is obtained. The
macroporous resin contains amino groups and
sulfonic acid groups, so that the adsorption of epicatechin hydroxyl groups is further enhanced on the basis of
benzene ring pi-pi adsorption. The adsorption capacity of the D301G-SO3-resin is larger than that of AB-8 under the condition that the pore volume is small, the
adsorption effect of the D301G-SO3-resin on epicatechin is remarkably improved, the maximum adsorption capacity is improved by one time, the maximum adsorption capacity is kept within the
PH range of 7-9, and the adsorption efficiency on the epicatechin is greatly improved.
