Thermoanalytical investigation of ion exchange resins. The swelling water of anion exchange resins

The water uptakes of completely swollen and air dried anion exchange resins were investigated by traditional and also by thermoanalytical measurements. In investigations on the air dried resin samples of HSO₄, H₂PO₄, SO₄, HPO₄ and PO₄ forms, two types of water (strongly and loosely bound) were found. The sequence of water uptake on the resins investigated was compared to the opposite order of the adsorption strengths of the anions and to the entropies of the hydrated anions. A conclusion was made regarding the role of the hydration of the anions in the selectivity sequence of anion exchange.

Zusammenfassung Die Wasseraufnahme vollständig angequollener und lufttrockener Anionenaustauscherharze wurde mittels herkömmlicher sowie auch thermoanalytischer Messungen untersucht. Bei den Prüfungen der lufttrockenen Harzproben in den HSO₄-, H₂PO₄-, SO₄-, HPO₄-, und PO₄-Formen wurden zwei Arten von Wasser gefunden: stark und schwach gebundenes. Die Reihenfolge der Wasseraufnahme wurde mit der umgekehrten Reihenfolge der Adsorptionsstärke der Anionen und mit der Entropie der hydratisierten Anionen verglichen. Schlüsse bezüglich der Rolle der Hydratisierung der Anionen bei der Selektvititätsreihenfolge des Anionenaustausch wurden gezogen.

Separation of uranium from iron in ground water samples using ion exchange resins

Uranium determination in environmental samples is faced with problems due to presence of iron and other major elements. Iron is also used many a times for pre-concentration of uranium and actinides. Separation of milligram quantity of Fe from microgram quantity of uranium becomes essential during the estimation step. A simple two step procedure has been standardized for separating uranium and iron using anion exchange in 0.025 M H₂SO₄. Quantitative recovery of uranium was obtained as well as good separation from iron. This method was applied for estimation of uranium in water samples.

Protonation and ion exchange equilibria of weak base anion-exchange resins

Protonation and ion exchange equilibria of weak base anion-exchange resins, in which tertiary amine moieties were introduced as a functional group, were investigated by applying NMR spectroscopy to species adsorbed into the resins. ³¹P NMR signals of the phosphinate ion in the resin phases shifted to a lower field due to the influence of protonation of the tertiary amine groups of the resins in the pH range of 4-10. Protonation constants of the tertiary amine groups in styrene-divinylbenzene (DVB)-based resins were estimated to be K_H = 10^6.4 for Amberlite IRA96 and 10^6.5 for DIAION WA30 by the ³¹P NMR method using the phosphinate ion as a probe species. In addition to the low field shift caused by the protonation of the tertiary amine moieties, another low field shift was observed for the phosphinate ion in acrylic acid-DVB-based resins at a rather high pH. This shift should be due to an unexpected deprotonation in the acrylic resin: a tautomerism accompanying the proton release from the amide form to the imide one in the functional group, thus, the resin could exhibit a cation exchange property at the high pH. Protonation constants of the tertiary amine moieties in the acrylic resins were estimated to be 10^8.8 for DIAION WA10, 10^9.0 for Amberlite IRA67 and 10^9.3 for Bio-Rad AG 4-X4 on the basis of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation using the resin phase pH estimated by the ¹³³Cs and ¹H NMR signal intensities.     

Evaluation of new high-density ion exchange adsorbents for expanded bed adsorption chromatography

New adsorbents Q HyperZ and CM HyperZ composed of hydrogel-filled porous zirconium oxide particles were evaluated for expanded bed adsorption applications in the present work. The HyperZ adsorbents have wet density of 3.16 g ml(-1), particle size of 44.5-100.8 microm and average sphere diameter of 67 microm. The bed expansion as the function of flow velocity and fluid viscosity was measured and correlated with Richardson-Zaki equation. The suitable expansion factor was considered less than 2.5, while the corresponding flow velocity was about 450 cmh(-1). Liquid mixing in the bed was determined to evaluate the stability of expanded bed. The Bodenstein numbers tested were higher than 40 and the axial mixing coefficients (D(ax)) were between 0.5 and 9.7x10(-6)m(2)s(-1), which demonstrated that a stable expanded bed could be formed under suitable operation conditions. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme were used as model proteins to estimate the adsorption capacities of Q and CM HyperZ, respectively. The maximum equilibrium adsorption of Q and CM HyperZ could reach 45.7 and 27.2 mg g(-1) drained adsorbents, respectively. It was found that yeast cells had little influence on the adsorption capacities of the two adsorbents tested. The dynamic adsorption capacity of BSA at 10% breakthrough with Q HyperZ was 35.9 mg g(-1) drained adsorbent at flow velocity of 100 cm h(-1) for packed bed adsorption. The values for expanded bed adsorption were 34.4 mg g(-1) drained adsorbent at flow velocity of 200 cm h(-1), 33.6 mg g(-1) drained adsorbent at 300 cm h(-1) and 31.7 mg g(-1) drained adsorbent 400 cm h(-1). The results demonstrated that Q HyperZ and CM HyperZ are suitable for expanded bed adsorption of biomolecules.     

Phenol removal from aqueous solution by adsorption and ion exchange mechanisms onto polymeric resins

The removal of phenol from aqueous solution was evaluated by using a nonfunctionalized hyper-cross-linked polymer Macronet MN200 and two ion exchange resins, Dowex XZ (strong anion exchange resin) and AuRIX 100 (weak anion exchange). Equilibrium experimental data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms at different pHs. The Langmuir model describes successfully the phenol removal onto the three resins. The extent of the phenol adsorption was affected by the pH of the solution; thus, the nonfunctionalized resin reported the maximum loading adsorption under acidic conditions, where the molecular phenol form predominates. In contrast both ion exchange resins reported the maximum removal under alkaline conditions where the phenolate may be removed by a combined effect of both adsorption and ion exchange mechanisms. A theoretical model proposed in the literature was used to fit the experimental data and a double contribution was observed from the parameters obtained by the model. Kinetic experiments under different initial phenol concentrations and under the best pH conditions observed in the equilibrium experiments were performed. Two different models were used to define the controlling mechanism of the overall adsorption process: the homogeneous particle diffusion model and the shell progressive model fit the kinetic experimental data and determined the resin phase mechanism as the rate-limiting diffusion for the phenol removal. Resins charged after the kinetic experiments were further eluted by different methods. Desorption of nonfunctionalized resin was achieved by using the solution (50% v/v) of methanol/water with a recovery close to 90%. In the case of the ion exchange resins the desorption process was performed at different pHs and considering the effect of the competitive ion Cl⁻. The desorption processes were controlled by the ion exchange mechanism for Dowex XZ and AuRIX 100 resins; thus, no significant effect for the addition of Cl⁻ under acidic conditions was observed, while under alkaline conditions the total recovery increased, specially for Dowex XZ resin.

Removal of nickel from water and synthetic nuclear power plant coolant water by ion exchange resins

A method for the removal of nickel from waste water by adsorption process on ion exchange resin was studied. The percentage removal of nickel depends upon the contact time, pH and dose of adsorbent. Adsorption of nickel on ion exchange resins obeys Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The applicability of Lagergren kinetic model has also been investigated. In order to understand the adsorption behavior of nickel, a number of batch experiments were conducted at various pH values. The results show that the adsorption is maximum in the pH range 2 to 8. The studies showed that the ion exchange resins IRN77 and SKN1 can be used as an efficient adsorbent material for the removal of Ni(II) from water and coolant water.     

Neutron activation analysis of LWR ion exchange mixed-bed resins for129I

Iodine-129 was determined by neutron activation analysis (NAA) in mixed-bed ion exchange resins from four light water reactors (LWR), including two pressurized water reactors (PWR) and two boiling water reactors (BWR). Published procedures for NAA of¹²⁹I in LWR resins were modified and adapted to the particular requirements of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) irradiation system. Observed¹²⁹I concentrations, ranging from 1E-09 to 4E-07 Ci/g, were about 1000 times lower than the beta-gamma detection limits currently reported.     

Study on a stable destruction method of radioactive waste ion exchange resins

This paper is a study on a stable destruction method of radioactive waste ion exchange resins. According to the resin TGA results, its decomposition occurred through three stages. And a sufficient retention time of the resins and an effective retention capacity of SO₂ gases and the doped metal compounds were required to destruct resins doped with radioactive metals stably. The resins doped with radioactive metal surrogates were effectively destructed in the lab-scale MCO system. CO and SO₂ emissions were below 100 and 1 ppm, respectively. And the surrogates were collected more than 99.9% in the molten carbonate. Thus, the resins can be destructed stably in the MCO process.

Determination of equilibrium constants of strong acidic ion exchange resins by potentiometric titrations

A new method for the determination of ion exchange equilibrium constants is developed. A technique based in the application of potentiometric titrations is used in the study of non selective strong acidic resins. Potentiometric titrations are carried out without constant ionic strength, so a mathematical treatment is developed in order to take into account the estimation of the activity coefficients and the liquid junction potentials. The ion exchange thermodynamic equilibrium constants for two resins, Dowex CM-15 and Dowex C650, between the proton form and the alkaline metals at 25 degrees C are given.

Aqueous-phase ion solvation and the selectivity of anion exchange resins for monovalent ions

This research examines and quantifies the influence of ion solvation parameters on the affinity of monovalent anions for strong-base anion resins. A data set comprising resin selectivity coefficients and solvation parameters from the literature is statistically analyzed using correlation and multiple regression techniques. The affinity of monovalent anions for the resin phase correlated well to ionic radii. Solvation parameters such as the hydration number, and entropy, enthalpy and free energy of hydration are also strongly correlated to selectivity. Using the stepwise regression procedure on subsets of independent variables, the entropy of hydration, which characterizes the structure-influencing nature of ions in solution, is incorporated as the sole parameter in the predictive model for resin selectivity. The data are best correlated by the exponential form of the regression equation, and the physical meaning of the correlation is shown to be reasonable. A simple rule for categorizing ions as structure-makers and structure-breakers is proposed, and the results are consistent with conventional classifications.     

The use of carbonaceous adsorbents for the extraction of silver ions from solutions and slurries

The adsorption of silver(I) ions from aqueous solutions on carbonaceous adsorbents synthesized from hard coals was studied. Adsorption isotherms were measured under static and dynamic conditions at various temperatures. Adsorption was shown to be maximum in alkaline media. The isotherms obtained at low silver concentrations were described by the Freundlich equation. A decrease in adsorption as the temperature increased was evidence that the process was exothermic. The kinetics of the process was studied and the thermodynamic parameters of adsorption determined.
