Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of monolithic moldings, such as chromatography columns or capillaries with monolithic sorbents, which are produced directly in their
- the invention further relates to moldings, such as chromatography columns or capillaries with monolithic sorbents, which were produced by the process according to the invention.
- Monolithic sorbents are becoming increasingly important in the field of chromatography, in particular HPLC, micro-LC or electrochromatography. They show significantly better mass transport properties than columns or capillaries with particulate sorbents. For this reason, columns with monolithic
- Sorbents can be operated at a higher linear flow rate with constant performance.
- Monolithic sorbents can be formed on the basis of organic or inorganic polymers. Due to the different properties of the polymers, different processes are currently used to manufacture chromatography columns based on monolithic sorbents.
- Polymers with low shrinkage rates can be produced directly in the tubes used for chromatography as a gelling mold.
- Hjerten et al. (Nature, 356, pp. 810-811, 1992) describe, for example, monoliths made of a polyacrylamide material, which are produced within a chromatographic tube.
- Frechet et al. (Anal. Chem., 64, pp. 820-822, 1992) describe the preparation of polyacrylate materials and polystyrene / divinylbenzene copolymers which are described in The presence of porogens become monolithic materials with a macroporous structure and can remain in the form used after production.
- Monolithic porous inorganic moldings or, in some cases, strongly cross-linked, hard organic polymer gels show significantly better separation properties.
- these materials shrink during their manufacture so that they cannot be manufactured directly in the chromatography tubes.
- the resulting dead volume between the molded body and the chromatography tube would reduce the separation performance too much.
- the shrinkage after aging is, for example, up to 20% of the starting diameter. Therefore, the materials must be removed from the gelling molds after they have been manufactured and then covered with tight-fitting tubes.
- WO 99/38006 and WO 99/50654 disclose processes for the production of capillaries which are filled with monolithic silica material. This material can remain directly in the capillary after manufacture. However, the methods disclosed there are only suitable for the production of capillary columns with a smaller diameter.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a method for
- the method should be particularly suitable for inorganic materials and allow the filling of column tubes with a diameter between 0.05 mm and 100 mm.
- monolithic shaped articles can be produced in their gelling form without shrinkage resulting in a dead volume between the shaped article and the gelling form if the inner surface of the gelling form is activated before the synthesis.
- Suitable activation methods are e.g. Etching, enlargement or chemical modification of the inner surface of the gelling mold. In this way, the monolith can remain in the original gelling form and be used directly for the chromatographic separation.
- the present invention therefore relates to a process for producing monolithic porous moldings which completely fill their gelling mold, characterized by the following process steps: a) providing a gelling mold; b) activation of the gelling mold by etching, enlarging the surface and / or chemical modification; c) filling the gelling mold with monomer sol; d) polymerizing the monomer sol and aging the resulting gel to form pores.
- a gelling mold made of glass, glass-coated stainless steel or fused silica is provided in step a).
- the activation takes place in step b) by enlarging the inner surface of the gelling mold by treating the inner surface with alkoxysilanes and / or organoalkoxysilanes and / or slurries of particles.
- the activation takes place in step b) by chemical modification of the inner surface of the gelling mold by treating the surface with bifunctional reagents.
- a sol-gel process is used to produce the monolithic porous moldings.
- a monomer sol is used in step c), the particles and / or fibers and / or
- the present invention also relates to monolithic porous moldings which are polymerized into their gelling mold and can be produced by the process according to the invention.
- the present invention relates to the use of the moldings according to the invention in the gelling mold for the chromatographic separation of at least two substances.
- the process according to the invention is particularly suitable for the production of inorganic porous monolithic moldings by a sol-gel process.
- WO 95/03256 and particularly WO 98/29350 disclose preferred methods according to the invention for the production of inorganic monolithic moldings by a sol-gel process.
- This Materials contain mesopores with a diameter between 2 and 100 nm and macropores with an average diameter of over 0.1 ⁇ m and are therefore particularly well suited for chromatographic applications.
- the method according to the invention is also suitable for the production of materials with a different pore distribution.
- materials with a monomodal pore distribution can also be produced, e.g. Materials with an average pore diameter between 10 nm and 200 nm.
- the shaped articles can be produced, for example, by using alkoxysilanes in a gelling mold under acidic conditions in the presence of a pore-forming phase, e.g. an aqueous solution of an organic polymer, hydrolysed to a porous gel body and polycondensed.
- a pore-forming phase e.g. an aqueous solution of an organic polymer
- the gel is then aged and the pore-forming substance is finally separated off.
- the polymerization or polycondensation leads to a change in the gel structure and to a shrinking of the gel. This results in a dead volume between the gelling mold and the shaped body in the prior art methods.
- pore formers Depending on the type of monomers used and, if appropriate, pore formers, the specific implementation of the process according to the invention can vary. For example, when organoalkoxysilanes are used, an additional mesopore former (eg urea) can be dispensed with. In such cases, it is often not possible to differentiate between a gelling step and an aging step carried out independently of it, since aging takes place during the gelling step. According to the invention "Polymerizing the monomer sol and aging the resulting gel to form pores" therefore means that gelling and aging can take place in succession, for example under different temperature conditions, or also virtually in parallel, in that no further changes in the gelation conditions
- the gelling mold is the form into which the monolithic moldings are completely, i.e. polymerized with a perfect fit without dead volume. Since the molded bodies copolymerized according to the invention are preferably used as separation columns for chromatography, the gelling mold also represents the sheathing of the chromatography column. According to the invention, it is no longer necessary to remove the shaped bodies from the gelling mold for chromatographic use and to provide them with a new sheathing.
- the gelling form is therefore typically of a size and shape customary for capillaries, analytical or preparative chromatography columns.
- the gelling mold can also be used for other applications
- Shapes e.g. Have a conical or cuboid shape.
- the method according to the invention is also suitable for providing monolithic moldings for use in SPE (Solid Phase Extraction) or SPME (Solid Phase Microextraction) or generally for sample preparation.
- the gelling form is, for example, a cartridge or pipette tip.
- the gelling mold can consist of metal (eg stainless steel) or plastic or preferably of materials that are coated on the inside with glass (eg stainless steel with glass inliner), ceramic, glass or other silica materials, such as fused silica. Those skilled in the art will be able to choose from these materials based on the intended application To meet conditions for the activation of the surface of the gelling mold, the reaction conditions and the reactants used.
- completely means i.e. polymerized in a precisely fitting manner without dead volume, so that the gelling mold is filled by the molded body in such a way that the chromatographic separation performance is no longer impaired by cavities which occur in the edge regions between the monolithic molded body and the gelling mold due to shrinkage processes.
- the method according to the invention can be used for the production of chromatography columns with internal diameters of 50 ⁇ m to 100 mm, preferably between 0.5 mm and 50 mm.
- the inventive activation of the inner surface of the gelling mold intensifies the contact between the monomer sol or the resulting monolithic shaped body and the surface of the gelling mold. This is preferably done by increasing the formation of chemical bonds between the molded body and the gelling mold. It has been found that various types of activation of the surface of the gelling mold are suitable. Which type of activation is suitable for the particular synthesis depends on the material of the gelling mold and the composition of the monomer sol.
- This method is particularly suitable for gelling molds made of ceramic, glass or other silica-based materials or for molds coated with such materials. At least the inner surface of the gelling molds is etched with strong acids or strong bases. In this way, e.g. increasingly activated
- Silanol groups on the inner surface of the mold, which are associated with the monomer sol can react. Furthermore, strong bases partially dissolve the silicate structure of the glass, which results in an increase in surface area. Examples of suitable strong acids or bases are HF, HCl, HN0 3 or H 2 S0 4) NaOH, KOH, NH 4 OH, preferably HF and HCl or NaOH. The duration of the
- Treatment depends on the material of the gelling mold. As a rule, the molds are treated at temperatures between 25 ° C and 80 ° C between 5 minutes and 24 hours. The treatment can be carried out by immersing the entire mold or rinsing or filling the inside of the gelling mold. Finally, when using a base with dilute acid (for neutralization), with water and finally with an organic solvent, e.g. Rinsed ethanol or, in the case of acid, rinsed with water and an organic solvent and the mold filled with monomer sol.
- a base with dilute acid for neutralization
- an organic solvent e.g. Rinsed ethanol or, in the case of acid, rinsed with water and an organic solvent and the mold filled with monomer sol.
- Another very effective method for the production of monolithic chromatography columns according to the invention is the enlargement of the inside surface of the mold.
- the gelling mold is pretreated with a solution or slurry.
- the solution consists of a monomer sol similar to that which will later be used to form the monolithic shaped body, ie, like the monomer sol, it contains alkoxysilanes. These alkoxysilanes can react with the inner surface of the gelling mold and be polymerized and / or sintered there. In this way, a coating of the inner surface of the gelling mold is formed, which increases the inner surface due to its structure and structure.
- Suitable alkoxysilanes are tetraalkoxysilanes (RO) 4 Si, where R is typically an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl radical, such as C1 to C20 alkyl, C2 to C20 alkenyl or C5 to C20 aryl, preferably a C1 to C8 alkyl radical. Tetraethoxy and in particular tetramethoxysilane are particularly preferred.
- the tetraalkoxysilane can also contain various alkyl radicals.
- organoalkoxysilanes or mixtures of organoalkoxysilanes with tetraalkoxysilanes can be used.
- Suitable organoalkoxysilanes are those in which one to three, preferably one, alkoxy groups of a tetraalkoxysilane are replaced by organic radicals, such as preferably C1 to C20 alkyl, C2 to C20 alkenyl or C5 to C20 aryl.
- Further organoalkoxysilanes are disclosed, for example, in WO 03/014450 or US 4,017,528.
- the alkoxysilanes or organoalkoxysilanes can also be used in prepolymerized form, for example as oligomers.

- the treatment of the gelling mold is preferably carried out at an elevated temperature between 50 and 150 ° C, e.g. is refluxed in toluene.
- the duration of the treatment is usually between 1 to 40 hours, typically 10 to 25 hours.
- the solution additionally contains particles and is therefore a particle suspension or slurry.
- the particles typically have a diameter between 25 nm and 10 ⁇ m, preferably between 50 nm and 1 ⁇ m and typically consist of plastic, ceramic, glass or inorganic oxides, such as Ti, Al, Zr or Si oxides. They preferably have a hydrophilic surface.
- hydrophobically derivatized particles for example with C1-C20 alkyl residues, are also particularly suitable if the monomer sol consists of organoalkoxysilanes and or mixtures of organoalkoxysilanes with alkoxysilanes. Due to hydrophobic interactions, the polymerization takes place at the beginning, preferably on the inner surface.
- the particles can be non-porous or porous. Spherical or irregularly shaped particles are suitable. Are particularly preferred
- the gels are treated with the solution or slurry at temperatures between 25 ° C and 100 ° C for 1 to 24 hours.
- the treatment can be carried out by immersing the entire mold or rinsing or filling the inside of the gelling mold. Then the gelling molds from the
- the gelling molds can still be heated.
- Tetraalkoxysilanes or purely inorganic particles can be calcined up to 600 ° C. If organoalkoxysilanes or particles with organic components were used, the temperatures should be between 100 and 300 ° C, unless the organic residues are to be burned out.
- the inner surface of the gelling mold is treated with reagents that have at least two, preferably three or four, functionalities.
- suitable reagents with at least two functionalities are referred to as bifunctional reagents.
- the reduction in shrinkage after treatment of the surface with these reagents is believed to result from the fact that at least one functionality reacts with the surface of the gelling mold and at least one functionality is available for reaction with the monomer sol.
- Alkoxysilanes or organoalkoxysilanes are suitable. Are particularly preferred
- R is typically an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl radical, such as C1 to C20 alkyl, C2 to C20 alkenyl or C5 to C20 aryl, preferably a C1 to C8 alkyl radical and n is preferably 1 to 8.

That is, R * is, for example, alkylamino, alkenylamino or arylamino, preferably a C1 to C8 alkylamino or glycidoxyalkyl, glycidoxyalkenyl or glycidoxyaryl, preferably C1 to C8 glycidoxyalkyl.
- m is 0, 1 or 2
- n + m gives 3.
- Examples of suitable compounds of the formula II are 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane or 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane as well as 3-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyldimethylethoxysilane-3-aminopropyl-aminopropyl-3-aminoxysiloxysilane-3-aminopropyl-3-aminoxysiloxysilane ,
- the bifunctional reagents are typically used as a 2 to 25%, preferably 5 to 10% (% by weight) solution in an organic solvent such as toluene.
- the gelling mold is preferably treated at an elevated temperature between 50 and 150 ° C .; For example, the mixture is boiled under reflux in toluene.
- the duration of the treatment is usually between 1 to 40 hours, typically 10 to 25 hours.
- the treatment can be carried out by immersing the entire mold or rinsing or filling the inside of the gelling mold. Finally, it is rinsed with an organic solvent and the mold is filled with monomer sol.
- the process according to the invention for the production of monolithic moldings in the gelling mold is further supported by the choice of the monomer sol.
- Another possibility of reducing or suppressing the shrinkage of the shaped bodies during their production is the choice of a particular composition of the monomer sol. For example, it has been found that adding particles to the monomer sol greatly reduces the rate of shrinkage.
- Japanese published patent application JP (A) 2002-293657 discloses the addition of particles in sol-gel processes for the production of porous moldings. Here, however, the goal of adding particles is to reduce them the energy expenditure in the production. There is no indication that a similar principle can also be used, under certain conditions, to reduce the shrinkage rate of the shaped bodies during aging.
- silica particles are preferably used in the present invention, which due to their chemical structure can also form a chemical bond with the monomer sol.
- JP (A) 2002-293657 e.g. Polymerized aluminum oxide particles using a sol-gel process with alkoxysilanes, i.e. here there is only an inclusion of particles but no chemical bond with the silicate network.
- the particles are preferably added at a later point in time, namely when the hydrolysis and polycondensation of the monomer sol has already taken place for about 5 to 120 minutes, preferably 15 to 45 minutes. At this point in time there are already oligomers or a loose network consisting of Si0 2 , into which the particles are then incorporated and mechanically stabilize the network due to their rigid properties. It has been found that with an addition preferred according to the invention in the prepolymerized state of the monomer sol, the particles then added are better distributed and suspended. In addition, this process control has the effect that the macropore size remains largely unaffected by the addition of particles.
- the method according to JP (A) 2002-293657 shows a dependence of the macro pore size on the amount of particles added, for example a macro pore size of 1 ⁇ m for 0.25 g aluminum oxide particles or a size of 0.7 ⁇ m for 0.5 g of the same particles.
- the macroporous size remains largely unaffected by the synthesis guide according to the invention.
- the macro-pore size is not changed for particle quantities of up to 1 g (on 50 ml of tetramethoxysilane).
- fibers are elongated structures whose length is at least 5 times greater than their average diameter.
- the fibers can be round, oval, irregularly shaped or even flat in diameter.
- Suitable fibers are mineral fibers or chemical fibers, such as in particular glass ceramic or particularly preferably glass fibers. It has been found that when fibers are added, the gel or the monolithic shaped body is effectively stabilized and the shrinkage is greatly reduced. This process is also particularly well suited for the production of shaped articles with larger diameters (> 3 mm).
- the fibers are added to the monomer sol in amounts between 1 and 50% by weight, preferably 2-30%.
- the stabilizing effect can be adjusted by choosing the fibers (for example glass fibers with a length of 0.1-5 mm (preferably 0.3-3 mm) and a diameter of 1-25 ⁇ m (preferably 5-10 ⁇ m)).
- the fibers for example glass fibers with a length of 0.1-5 mm (preferably 0.3-3 mm) and a diameter of 1-25 ⁇ m (preferably 5-10 ⁇ m)
- long fibers length> 3 mm
- long fibers for molded articles with larger diameters or a combination of long and shorter fibers.
- the shrinkage rate in the production of monolithic moldings can be reduced if the monomer sol contains not only alkoxysilanes but also at least 10%, preferably 20 to 100%, organoalkoxysilanes.
- Organoalkoxysilanes are silanes in which one to three alkoxy groups, preferably one alkoxy group, of a tetraalkoxysilane by organic
- Residues such as C1 to C20 alkyl, C2 to C20 alkenyl or C5 to C20 aryl, particularly preferably C1 to C8 alkyl, are replaced.
- Further organoalkoxysilanes are disclosed, for example, in WO 03/014450 or US 4,017,528. These documents also disclose the production of particles or monolithic moldings from organoalkoxysilanes. However, there is no indication that the use of Organoalkoxysilanes brings a reduction in shrinkage with aging.
- the concentration of certain substances must be varied slightly, since organoalkoxysilanes show a different polarity, reactivity or solubility than alkoxysilanes and thus influence, for example, the phase separation or the formation of the gel body.
- a water-miscible organic solvent e.g. Ethanol or preferably methanol, the molar ratio of water to solvent typically being between 10: 1 and 1: 5, preferably between 3: 1 and 1: 2.
- the formation of the pores can be influenced in different ways.
- a porogen such as polyethylene glycol
- a detergent can be added (eg cationic detergents such as CTAB (CH 3 (CH 2 ) ⁇ 5 N + (CH 3 ) 3 Br " ), non-ionic detergents such as PEG
- a calcination step is often carried out after the gelation and aging of the gel. This removes all organic compounds or residues remaining in the molded body. Also when using organoalkoxysilanes in the monomer sol
- ' ⁇ can be calcined in the last synthesis step, so that the organic residues are removed from the shaped body and a completely inorganic shaped body is obtained.
- this can be used to create pores.
- Calcination is usually carried out at temperatures between 300 and 600 ° C. However, it is also possible to dispense with the calcination step or to choose the temperature so that the organic residues are not attacked. In this way, there is the possibility of the material properties of the shaped bodies 5 e.g. with regard to their chromatographic separation properties.
- the temperatures in this case are typically between 100 and 300 ° C.
- organoalkoxysilanes influences the stability and porosity of the shaped bodies, it can be used for certain applications e.g. be advantageous not only to use organoalkoxysilanes but also mixtures of alkoxysilanes and organoalkoxysilanes. Then a treatment of the gelling mold according to the invention can optionally additionally reduce the shrinkage.
- Particles or fibers are particularly preferably added to a monomer sol containing organoalkoxysilanes.
- a gelling mold is first activated by etching and then filled with a mixture of an organoalkoxysilane (e.g. MTMS), a detergent, an acid (e.g. dilute nitric acid) and methanol. After gelation and parallel aging at elevated temperature, a sorbent which is well suited for chromatography is obtained.
- an organoalkoxysilane e.g. MTMS
- a detergent e.g. dilute nitric acid
- acid e.g. dilute nitric acid
- the shaped articles are also used after aging or calcination for use in chromatography Separation effectors provided.
- the various separation effectors and methods for their introduction are known to the person skilled in the art. Examples can be found, for example, in WO 98/29350.
- the method according to the invention can be used to produce monolithic, homogeneous, porous molded articles which completely fill their gelling mold.
- the shaped bodies can remain in the gelling mold for chromatographic purposes and show an equally homogeneous pore structure and equally good separation performance as subsequently coated shaped bodies.
- the method according to the invention therefore greatly simplifies the production of the monolithic moldings.
- Capillaries which are produced by the method according to the invention show significantly better separation performances than capillaries from the prior art. The reason for this is that through
- the present invention accordingly also relates to monolithic porous moldings which are polymerized into their gelling mold, can be produced by the process according to the invention by activating the surface of the gelling mold and / or adding particles, fibers or organoalkoxysilanes to the monomer sol.
- the moldings according to the invention are distinguished by a structure which is homogeneous over the entire cross section. Furthermore, the activation of the inner surface of the gelling mold forms chemical bonds between the molded body and the gelling mold, which bring about particularly effective stabilization.
