Tailored chromatographic media and methods for using the tailored chromatographic media to purify mixtures extracted from cannabis to obtain a cannabinoid having greater than about 90% purity. In an embodiment, the tailored chromatographic media may comprise a porous resin and/or porous carbon and have a surface area of greater than about 900 m2/g, wherein the tailored chromatographic media may further comprise micropores, mesopores, macropores, wherein the tailored chromatographic media may further comprise at least two distributions of macroporous pore sizes, wherein the at least two distributions of macroporous pore sizes may comprise a first population having a macroporous pore size denoted x and a second population having a macroporous pore size denoted y, wherein a ratio of x/y may be about 1:1, and wherein the tailored chromatographic media may further comprise an anionic polysaccharide and a functional moiety.

The present inventions relates to the preparation of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexylidene bisphenol. Especially, the present invention relates to the preparation of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexylidene bisphenol from 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone and phenol in the presence of a gaseous acidic catalyst. The preparation comprises a first drying step and a second drying step wherein in the second drying step the temperature is increased in comparison to first drying step or in the second drying step the pressure is lowered in comparison to first drying step, or in second drying step both the temperature is increased and the pressure is lowered in comparison to the first drying step (d1).

A method of removing THC and/or THCA from a mixture, the mixture including THC and/or THCA and at least one cannabinoid is provided. The method comprises passing a first feedstock stream through a first chromatographic resin arranged in a simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography configuration to provide a primary raffinate stream, preparing a second feedstock stream, the second feedstock stream comprising the primary raffinate stream or a concentrated primary raffinate stream, and passing the second feedstock stream through a second chromatographic resin to provide an eluate stream, the eluate stream having less than 0.3 wt % THC on a solvent free basis. The cannabinoid products can be used in various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
