ABSTRACT
The mesoporous monolithic carbon (MMC) foams and carbon tubes were newly fabricated in cm-scale using the mixture of triblock copolymers and phenol/HCHO resin precursors. The regular mesoporosity were formed in the body of MMC foam and carbon fibers. In this work, the organic phases containing chiral ARCA adsorbent and a phase transfer catalyst were coated on the surfaces of mesoporous carbon support, and this ARCA/carbon mixture was adopted for the enantioselective separation of amino acid in the circulation system. (S)-ARCA coated MMC support showed high selcetivity up to 90% for the separation of D-type phenylalanine, serine and tryptophan from racemic mixtures.
