Adsorption rates of gibberellic acid (GA3) on S‐8 and X‐5 resins were measured with the results indicating that the adsorption attained equilibrium for adsorption times longer than 4 h. The adsorption isotherms of GA3 on AB‐8, X‐5, S‐8, D4020, D3520, D4006 and NKA‐9 were determined at 20 °C. S‐8 resin had the largest solid/liquid distribution coefficient of 10.5 and was selected as the adsorbent for separation of GA3 from the aqueous solution. The breakthrough curves of GA3 from the aqueous solution on S‐8 resin were determined at different flow rates. The dynamic adsorption capacity of GA3 was measured as 4.56 mgg −1 wet resin at a flow rate of 0.5 cm 3 min −1 . GA3 adsorbed on S‐8 resin was eluted with several eluents with 80% (v%) acetone aqueous solution having the best desorption performance. When GA3 was adsorbed by S‐8 resin from the fermentation liquor, the dynamic adsorption capacity of GA3 was increased to 12.02 mgg −1 wet resin in virtue of the salting‐out effect of the ammonium sulfate in the fermentation liquor. The yield of GA3 was above 90% after GA3 was adsorbed by S‐8 resin from the fermentation liquor at pH 2 and eluted by 80% (v%) acetone aqueous solution. The GA3 concentration was increased seven‐fold from the fermentation liquor after an adsorption and desorption cycle. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry
