In order to optimize operability of the adsorbents in the extraction chromatography system and to enhance the performance of the adsorbent, CMPO/SiO-P adsorbents with various pore and particle sizes were prepared, and characteristics of the adsorbents were evaluated through distribution coefficient, adsorption isotherm, adsorption rate, and breakthrough/elution behavior. Adsorption capacity was dominated not by the structure of the adsorbent but by amount of the extractant impregnated. The adsorbent with the largest pore size were revealed to show quick elution with short tail. Enlargement in the pore size must be one of the most effective improvements of the adsorbents to enhance the adsorption/elution performance. Adsorbent with particle size of more than 200 m formed channeling or voids inside the bed. They are suspected to lead slow adsorption/elution behavior, and smaller adsorbents must be desirable in the respect of performance of the column.
