The inhibitor removal capacity for this column is 2.5 L at 100 ppm hydroquinone. No indicator identifies when the column reaches saturation. Single use is therefore generally recommended.

General description
Inhibitor-remover packings and ready-to-use, disposable prepacked columns conveniently remove small amounts of inhibitors which are added to reagents or solvents that would otherwise be unstable. R: 20-37 S: 22-38-36
• Useful in applications which require that the stabilizer or inhibitor (hydroquinone (HQ), hydro-quinone monomethyl ether (MEHQ, 4-methoxyphenol), or 4-tert-butylcatechol (TBC) be removed prior to use.
• Columns may be discarded1 when exhausted or reused by filling column approximately 3/4 full with new packing material. HQ/MEHQ columns refill vol.: ~21g. TBC column refill vol.:~30g.
• Approx. column capacity:
HQ/MEHQ: 3L at 100ppm
TBC: 4L at 15ppm
• TBC columns and packings are not recommended for use with polar solvents, including acrylic acid. Vacuum distillation is suggested for such applications.
Easy-to-use:
1. Prewashing of prepacked glass columns with a small amount of monomer is recommended.
2. Add monomer (or solvent) to an addition funnel which is secured above column.
3. Add monomer dropwise to the column. Monitor rate of addition to prevent overflow of the column. Collect monomer in an appropriate container.
4. For low-melting solid monomers, keep temperature of column above the melting point during use.
Caution: Overheating may cause monomer to polymerize on the column. Viscous or high-melting monomers may be diluted in an appropriate solvent before addition to the column.
1Unused columns can be discarded with other solid chemical waste. After use, the toxicity and hazards of the monomer, from which the inhibitor is being removed, should be considered in deciding how to dispose of the packing material or column.

Application
Inhibitor remover is mainly used in the purification of methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA) and the removal of hydroquinone, which can be used for the synthesis of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It can also be used to purify and remove the inhibitor in N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and hydroxylethyl methacrylate (HEMA), that can be used to fabricate a low-cost absorbent for metal absorption.

What is the MEHQ removal capacity of one column? How does one know when the column is saturated?
1 answer-
Helpful?
-
-
I want to use it for removing MEHQ from MPC. Can i do this way? prepare MPC in methanol solution, for example 30 mL solution(Conc?), then pass through the column. Do i need to use additional methanol (e.g. another 20mL) to help MPC elute out completely?
1 answer-
Instructions for use of this column are available in the documentation section. The monomer can be added dropwise to the column. For very viscous or high-melting solid monomers, dilution in an appropriate solvent before addition to the column is recommended. As long as the monomer is fully dissolved, there should not be an issue with elution from the column. An additional rinse with solvent can be performed to ensure complete elution.

How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?
1 answer-
If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

Would these work for removal of Topanol A, 2,4-Dimethyl-6-tert-butylphenol CAS Number:1879-09-0?
1 answer-
This product is not tested for removal of Topanol A, but is expected to be suitable. The product is used for inhibitor removal for product 276685. Methacrylic anhydride, which contains 2,000 ppm Topanol A as inhibitor.

Which side of the column is the top versus the bottom?
1 answer-
The label is placed at the top of the column and will include the lot number. The column is provided with a cap on each end; these caps would need to be removed when the column is in use, but replaced between uses.
The glass wool plugs are present to hold the beads inside the column. Initially, a small volume of liquid will wet the glass wool. As more volume is added, the column will become saturated and then eventually pass through and out at the bottom of the column.
