Ion-isotopic exchange reaction kinetics using organic base anion exchange resins Indion-102 and Indion GS-400

The present study deals with the kinetic study of iodide and bromide ion-isotopic exchange reactions in organic based anion exchange resins Indion-102 (nuclear grade) and Indion GS-400 (non-nuclear grade) using radiotracer isotopes. The resins in iodide and bromide form were equilibrated respectively with iodide and bromide ion solutions which were previously spiked with ¹³¹I and ⁸²Br radiotracer isotopes. For both bromide and iodide ion-isotopic exchange reactions, it was observed that the values of specific reaction rate increase with increase in ion concentration from 0.001 to 0.004 M at a constant temperature of 40.0°C. However, at constant ion concentration of 0.003 M, the specific reaction rate was observed to decrease with rise in temperature from 30.0 to 45.0°C. Also it was observed that for iodide ion-isotopic exchange reaction by using Indion-102 resin, the values of specific reaction rate, amount of iodide ion exchanged, initial rate of iodide ion exchange and logK _d were 0.258 min^?1, 0.492 mmol, 0.127 mmol/min and 19.2, respectively, which were higher than 0.208 min^?1, 0.416 mmol, 0.087 mmol/min and 17.6, respectively, obtained by using Indion GS-400 resin under identical experimental conditions of 40.0°C, 1.000 g of ion exchange resin and 0.003M labeled iodide ion solution. The same trend was observed for the two resins during bromide ion-isotopic exchange reaction. The overall results indicate that, under identical experimental conditions, Indion-102 resin shows higher performance than Indion GS-400 resin.     

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.

Underquaternized anion exchange resins as covalent scavengers

The use of partially quaternized, chloromethylated polystyrene as a covalent scavenger of cholate ion in aqueous media has been demonstrated. The ability of such polymers to scavenge organic anions by covalent as well as by ionic means has important implications in the areas of medicinal and environmental chemistry, which are briefly discussed.     

The sorption of polymetaphosphate on anion exchange resins

From a solution of sodium polymetaphosphate, strongly basic anion exchange resins can retain a greater amount of polymetaphosphate than that corresponding to the exchange capacity. Sodium ions are held by the polymetaphosphate form of the resin and these sodium ions can be exchanged for other ions.     

The immobilisation of anion exchange resins in polymer modified cements

Organic anion exchange resins, loaded with⁹⁹Tc pertechnate were incorporated into polymer modified cements and BFS/OPC(9∶1) cements. The composites formed were tested for initial compressive strenghts, underwater and radiation stabilities and leach rates. IAEA standard leach testing was with simulated sea and ground waters. Ground water leaching was also carried out on composites subjected to 1.1 MGy (γ). Polymer modified composites performed better than the BFS/OPC mix under all the conditions studied and, in most cases, were able to encapsulate high resin loading.

Remazol Black B removal from aqueous solutions and wastewater using weakly basic anion exchange resins

In this study, the use of the weakly basic anion exchange resins of phenol-formaldehyde (Amberlyst A 23), polyacrylate (Amberlite IRA 67) and polystyrene (Lewatit MonoPlus MP 62) matrices for removal of the reactive dye Remazol Black B (RBB) from aqueous solution and wastewater were investigated. RBB sorption on the anion exchangers was a time dependent process. Color reduction percentiles of 75.2, 33.9 and 25.1% in wastewater treatment were found after 216 h of phase contact time with Lewatit MonoPlus MP 62, Amberlyst A 23 and Amberlite IRA 67, respectively. Inorganic salts and anionic surfactant action influenced RBB uptake by the anion exchangers. The amounts of dye retained by the anion exchangers increased with a rise in temperature. The maximum sorption capacities calculated from the Langmuir model were 66.4, 282.1 and 796.1 mg g⁻¹ for Amberlite IRA 67, Amberlyst A 23 and Lewatit MonoPlus MP 62, respectively. Regeneration of phenol-formaldehyde and polystyrene resins were possible using 1 M NaOH, 2 M KSCN, 1M KSCN in 40–60% methanol as well as 1 M NaOH in 60% methanol.      

Evaluation of anion exchange resins for plutonium-uranium separations in nitric acid

Pellicular, macroreticular and microreticular (gel-type) anion exchange resins were compared for the separation of plutonium from nitric acid solutions of mixed plutonium-uranium. AS Pellionex SAX (pellicular resin) and Amberlite IRA-93 (weak base macroreticular anion exchange resin) were found to have better uranium washing and plutonium eluting characteristics than any of the resins tested. However, the capacity of the pellicular resin was much lower than the other resins.     

Protein adsorption equilibrium and kinetics in multimodal cation exchange resins

Protein adsorption equilibria and kinetics are obtained experimentally for two multimodal cation exchange resins—Nuvia cPrime, which is based on a polymeric matrix, and Capto MMC, which is based on an agarose matrix. In both resins, the ligand contains a phenyl group, a carboxyl group, and a peptide bond but with a different arrangement. Transmission electron microscopy and inverse size exclusion chromatography indicate a bimodal distribution of pores in Nuvia cPrime, including small pores with 10 nm radius and pores larger than 400 nm, and a monodispersed distribution of pores in Capto MMC, averaging 32 nm in radius. Potentiometric titration curves show similar buffering ranges and pK _a values for the ligands in both resins and a slightly higher ligand density for Nuvia cPrime. Equilibrium binding capacities for lysozyme and a monoclonal antibody (mAb) are also similar for both resins at comparable pH and salt concentrations, although Capto MMC shows a weaker dependence on salt concentration as a result of its more hydrophobic character. The main difference is the adsorption kinetics of the mAb, which is the larger of the two proteins studied. For both resins, as shown by means of confocal laser scanning miscopy, the adsorption kinetics is controlled by pore diffusion. Capto MMC with its smaller pores has a slower rate of mass transfer than Nuvia cPrime. As a result, for the mAb, much higher column dynamic binding capacities are obtained for Nuvia cPrime than for Capto MMC.     

Study on thermal decomposition and oxidation kinetics of cation exchange resins using non-isothermal TG analysis

Kinetics of two successive thermal decomposition reaction steps of cationic ion exchange resins and oxidation of the first thermal decomposition residue were investigated using a non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis. Reaction mechanisms and kinetic parameters for three different reaction steps, which were identified from a FTIR gas analysis, were established from an analysis of TG analysis data using an isoconversional method and a master-plot method. Primary thermal dissociation of SO₃H⁺ from divinylbenzene copolymer was well described by an Avrami–Erofeev type reaction (n = 2, g(α) = [?ln(1 ? α)]^1/2]), and its activation energy was determined to be 46.8 ± 2.8 kJ mol^?1. Thermal decomposition of remaining polymeric materials at temperatures above 400 °C was described by one-dimensional diffusion (g(α) = α ²), and its activation energy was determined to be 49.1 ± 3.1 kJ mol^?1. The oxidation of remaining polymeric materials after thermal dissociation of SO₃H⁺ was described by a phase boundary reaction (contracting volume, g(α) = 1?(1 ? α)^1/3). The activation energy and the order of oxygen power dependency were determined to be 101.3 ± 13.4 and 1.05 ± 0.17 kJ mol^?1, respectively.     

Hydroxy double salt anion exchange kinetics: effects of precursor structure and anion size

(1)H NMR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction have been used to explore the details of anion exchange reactions of two layered hydroxy double salts (HDSs), zinc copper hydroxy acetate (ZCA), nickel zinc hydroxy acetate (NZA), and a related layered material, zinc hydroxy acetate (ZHA), at room temperature (21-22 degrees C). Reactions that followed Avrami-Erofe'ev kinetics with respect to temporal profiles for acetate release, ZCA with butyrate (k = 1.7 x 10(-3) s(-1)), and octanoate (k = 0.79 x 10(-3) s(-1)) anions, as well as ZHA with octanoate (k = 2.6 x 10(-3) s(-1)), demonstrate that rate constants for acetate release are influenced by the exchange anion relative size as well as by the solid precursor structure/composition. The reaction of NZA with octanoate deviated from expected Avrami-Erofe'ev behavior, with evidence for an intermediate species in the solid phase that may influence the rate of acetate release into solution. The reaction of ZCA with formate anions exhibited a unique zeroth-order kinetics release of acetate, providing the possibility of developing tunable nanostructured anion release sources by use of variations in the size of the exchange species.     

Application of Br-82 as a radioactive tracer isotope to study bromide ion-isotopic exchange reaction in strongly basic anion exchange resin Duolite A-161

In the present investigation Br-82 radioactive isotope was used as a tracer to study the kinetics of exchange reaction taking place between the ion exchange resin and the external bromide ion solution. In an attempt to study the reversible bromide ion-isotopic exchange reaction kinetics, it was expected that whether the initial step was the exchange of radioactive bromide ions from the solution on to the ion exchange resin (forward reaction), or from the ion exchange resin in to the solution (reverse reaction), the two ion-isotopic exchange reactions should occur simultaneously, which was further confirmed from the values of specific reaction rate 0.122 and 0.123 min⁻¹ respectively obtained under identical experimental conditions. The radioactive tracer technique employed in the present investigation will be useful for characterization of various industrial grade ion exchange resins.     

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.     

Radiation resistance of pyridine type anion exchange resins for spent fuel treatment

The resistance against radiation of the tertiary pyridine resins synthesized for the treatment of spent nuclear fuels and high level radioactive waste was evaluated. After irradiation at 10 MGy, only approximately 10% or less of the exchange groups were lost in HCl solutions regardless of their concentrations, while 3040% were lost in HNO₃. The pyridine resin has shown remarkable resistance against radiation particularly in HCl solution. It has been revealed that the decomposition of pyridine type resins results from the scission of the principal chains. An irradiation study was conducted also on the quaternary ammonium resins. Quatemization ratio was found to be reduced in HNO₃ solutions at 10 MGy irradiation.     

Specific anion binding to sulfobetaine micelles and kinetics of nucleophilic reactions

With fully micellar bound substrates reactions of OH- with benzoic anhydride, Bz(2)O, and of Br- with methyl naphthalene-2-sulfonate, MeONs, in micellized sulfobetaines are strongly inhibited by NaClO4 which displaces the nucleophilic anions from the micellar pseudophases. Micellar incorporations of ClO4- and Br- are estimated with an ion-selective electrode and by electrophoresis, and partitioning of Br- between water and micelles is related to changes in NMR spectral (79)Br- line widths. Extents of inhibition by ClO4- of these nucleophilic reactions in the micellar pseudophase are related to quantitative displacement of the reactive anions from the micelles by ClO4-. The kinetic data are correlated with physical evidence on the strong interactions between sulfobetaines and ClO4-, which turn sulfobetaine micelles anionic and effectively provoke displacement of OH- and Br-.     

Synthesis and characterization of periodic mesoporous organosilicas as anion exchange resins for perrhenate adsorption

A new methodology to immobilize ionic liquids through the use of a bridged silsesquioxane N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl), N(3)-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl-4,5-dihydroimidazolium iodide that incorporates an ionic functionality for the assembly of novel periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) materials has been developed. The resulting PMO materials were investigated for use as novel anion exchange resins for the separation of perrhenate anions in aqueous solution. As compared with cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, 1-hexadecane-3-methylimidazolium bromide has been demonstrated to be a more efficient surfactant template for the generation of mesopores and surface areas for such PMO materials.     

A general halide-to-anion switch for imidazolium-based ionic liquids and oligocationic systems using anion exchange resins (A- form)

Further studies on the application of an AER (A(-) form) method broadened the anion exchange scope of representative ionic liquids and bis(imidazolium) systems. Depending on the hydrophobicity nature of the targeted imidazolium species and counteranions, different organic solvents were used to swap halides for assorted anions, proceeding in excellent to quantitative yields.     

The kinetics of model reactions of curing epoxy resins with amines

The isothermal course of the reaction of phenylglycidyl ether and N,N-methylglycidylaniline with dibutyl amine at various temperatures was investigated DSC. The data were treated on the basis of a reaction scheme with two processes in parallel, one of them auto-catalyzed. A good fit with the experiment was reached only when the order of both processes with respect to amine had been reduced to half its original value. An assumption that the kinetics of the amine-epoxy resin rection are considerably affected by the formation of various complexes through hydrogen bonds may be an explanation. A simple mathematical model has been suggested to estimate this influence. Because of the relatively high heats of interaction for the formation of complexes, the dependence of the measured heat on the degree of conversion is not linear. The magnitude of the error caused by neglecting this fact in investigation of the kinetics by DSC has been estimated.
