A chiral stationary phase comprises a porous framework material and biomolecules. The porous framework material includes one of the metal-organic framework (MOF) material, the covalent organic framework (COF) material and the hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) material. The biomolecules are biological chiral resolving agents. A pore size of the porous framework material is 0.2-15 nm. The porous framework material serves as a solid carrier. The biomolecules are loaded into the porous framework material. The porous framework material is modified with one or more of carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino, aldehyde, double bonds and mercapto groups.

A product having powder-like properties, the product comprising animal fibres, e.g. wool, having a length less than 10 mm, preferably less than about 3 mm, more preferably less than about 2 mm. Surprisingly, animal fibres having a length below a certain fibre length have powder-like properties, such as improved rheological properties, increased density, increased surface area and increased porosity. Also described are processes for preparing compositions and composites thereof, and uses thereof, e.g., as a filter aid, in a dietary supplement, in a filler and in a hair thickener.

A method for producing a modified sawdust sorbent. The method involves sulfonating sawdust with sulfuric acid and oxidizing the sulfonated sawdust with hydrogen peroxide. The method yields a modified sawdust sorbent containing sulfonated and oxidized cellulose. The modified sawdust sorbent has a higher surface area, higher organic dye adsorption capacity, and more rapid organic dye adsorption rate than unmodified sawdust. A method of using the modified sawdust sorbent for organic dye removal from water is included.
