Abstract
In the purification of acarbose by contacting an acarbose-containing solution with a cation exchanger to adsorb the acarbose, eluting the ion exchanger and collecting an eluate fraction enriched in purified acarbose, the improvement wherein the cation exchanger is a polymer obtained by polymerizing an aromatic compound possessing at least one vinyl group and at least one hydrophilic monomer in the presence of a solvent for the monomer which is a precipitant for the crosslinked polymer formed, isolating the resistant polymer, and sulphonating the polymer in the presence of a swelling agent for the polymer. The invention gives sharp separation and other processing advantages.
