Abstract: β-cyclodextrin derivative modified with L-Tryptophan (L-Trp-CD) was prepared for recognitive chiral separation of tartaric acid enantiomers from ethanol solution. Kinetic properties were successfully investigated by pseudo-first-order model and pseudo-second-order model. Equilibrium data were described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The thermodynamics parameters (positive values of Δ Ho and Δ So, negative values of Δ Go) indicated that binding system for L-Trp-CD was endothermic, entropy gained and spontaneous. Selective adsorption result of L-Tartaric acid (L-TA)/D-Tartaric acid (D-TA) by L-Trp-CD indicated that L-Trp-CD has significantly higher adsorption capacity for L-TA compared with D-TA, and the selectivity coefficient is 3.36
