The refined cotton was dissolved in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solution to prepare the cellulose/NMMO/H2O viscous solutions. Using the reversedphase suspension and the sequential cooling technique, the spherical cellulose composite beads were prepared with cellulose/NMMO/H2O solution and tungsten carbide powder as the inert densified component. Results indicated that the composite beads had regular spherical appearance, the relative high density of 1.6~2.4 g/mL, the porosity of 70%, the mean pore diameter of 25 nm, the specific surface of 60~70 m2/mL, and the suitable logarithmic symmetrical size distribution. The composite beads showed good expansion in the column, with Bo number above 40 and the axial dispersion coefficient at the order of 10-6 magnitude, which can meet the demand of expanded bed adsorption (EBA). Compared with the commercial Streamline adsorbent for EBA, the composite beads can be used at higher flow rate, resulting in the relative higher throughout for EBA process.
