Treatment of drinking water to remove heavy metal ions Pb^{2 +}, Cu^{2 +}, Cd^{2 +}, Co^{2 +}, Ni^{2 +}, and Zn^{2 +} with commercial fibrous carboxylic ion exchangers FIBAN Kh-1, K-3, K-4, and K-5 was studied. Features of metal ion sorption from two-component solutions were determined. A comparative evaluation of the sorption selectivity of FIBAN fibrous ion exchangers with respect to heavy metal ions was made.     

New nitrogen-and-phosphorus-containing fibrous ion exchangers for water treatment

New nitrogen-and-phosphorus-containing fibrous ion exchangers were produced by two-stage synthesis from Nitron fiber. The ion exchangers are efficient sorbents of heavy and nonferrous metals from aqueous solutions under dynamic conditions.     

Catalytic activity of iron hydroxides and manganese hydroxides in the deoxygenation of water

Catalysts prepared by the modification of FIBAN K-4 and FIBAN X-1 fibrous ion exchangers with the hydroxides of iron and manganese were developed and tested in a water deoxygenation process. It was established that the samples obtained by the supporting of Fe(III) hydroxide onto the FIBAN X-1 ampholyte were most effective. The conclusion that the high activity of the catalytic system is caused by the formation of a mixed phase of Fe(II) and Fe(III) hydroxides of the spinel type containing mobile (weakly bound) lattice oxygen was made. A reaction scheme was proposed to explain the reaction mechanism.     

Sorption of Sc(III) on phosphorus-containing cation exchangers

Kinetics of Sc(III) sorption from hydrochloric acid solutions on KRF-20t-60 cation exchanger is studied. The experimental data are analyzed in terms of the gel and film kinetic models. The Sc(III) diffusion coefficient in the resin phase is estimated. Static and dynamic sorption data are obtained on Sc(III) sorption from various process solutions on KRF-20t-60, PA-1, AFI-22 ion exchangers, and also on ion exchangers supported on polyacrylonitrile-based fibrous material. Desorption of Sc(III) from KRF-20t-60 is also studied.     

Sorption of gaseous ammonia on sulfonated macroreticular ion exchangers

The amount of gaseous ammonia sorbed on dry sulfonated macroreticular ion exchangers with different contents of divinylbenzene was found to be greater than the number of sulfonic acid groups. The excess ammonia could be removed by washing with water. With ion exchangers containing more than 20% of divinylbenzene a certain amount of chemically bonded ammonia could not be removed, even by elution with strong acid. Sorption of ammonia occurred also on dry ion exchangers fully neutralized with sodium ion, and in that case also, ammonia could only partially be removed by water from higher crosslinked samples. On desorption into a gaseous phase the amount of desorbed ammonia was proportional to the surface area of the ion exchanger, since desorption occurred only from surface layers. The results obtained indicate that ammonia migrates among acid groups located within the mass of the ion exchanger.     

Synthesis and properties of new N,S-containing fibrous ion exchangers

New N,S-containing fibrous ion exchangers were prepared by polymer-analogous transformations of Nitron fiber, involving amination with polyethylenepolyamines (ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine), followed by the reaction of the aminated fiber with carbon disulfide. The materials obtained efficiently take up silver ions from multicomponent aqueous solutions of metal ions and from dilute solutions containing calcium ions.

Composite sorbents of inorganic ion-exchangers and polyacrylonitrile binding matrix

Methods of preparation of granules of inorganic ion exchangers as well as methods for improvement of granular strength of these materials are reviewed. The resulting ion exchangers are classified in three groups—“intrinsic”, supported and composite ion exchangers. Their properties are compared and possibilities of their technological application are evaluated. A new method of preparation of inorganic-organic composite sorbents of inorganic ion-exchangers and polyacrylonitrile binding matrix is described, advantages and disadvantages of such sorbents are discussed. Proposed fields of application include tratment of liquid radioactive and/or hazardous wastes, decontamination of natural water as well as analytical applications.     

Study of the structure of chelate fibrous ionites by IR spectroscopy

Structure of fibrous chelate ion exchangers FIBAN X-1 and FIBAN X-2 prepared by a two-step synthesis was studied by IR Fourier spectroscopy. The first step of the ion exchanger preparation consists in the production of an aminated fiber (AF). The process can be carried out in different phases: either vapor, or aqueous. It is found that conditions of the synthesis of AF affect differently the ion exchanger structure. For the ion exchanger FIBAN X-1 it does not a matter in which phase is AF synthesized, and the FIBAN X-1 sorbent has amidoamine structure. The structure of chelate ion exchanger FIBAN X-2 depends on the conditions of the synthesis of AF. When the process is carried out in aqueous medium the FIBAN X-2 has amidoamine structure, while amination in the vapor phase leads to formation of the FIBAN X-2 ion exchanger mainly containing in its structure imidazoline rings.     

Sorption of Nickel Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Ion Exchangers

Sorption of Ni²⁺ions from aqueous solutions by ion exchangers differed in their chemical nature and structure was studied. Based on the endothermic curves of ice melting obtained by a differential scanning calorimetry, the amounts of freezing and non-freezing water present in free volumes (pores) of the studied ion exchangers were calculated. Comparison of results obtained from the kinetic curves of nickel ion sorption with data on differential scanning calorimetry indicates a role of structural factor in the sorption of nickel ions. It was found that, depending on the total amount of freezing and non-freezing water, the KU-2-8 sulfonated cationite is the most preferable ion exchanger for the sorption of nickel ions from aqueous solutions. Therefore, sorbent efficiency in this case is determined by its structure rather than by chemical nature.     

SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION OF IMINOCARBOXYLIC CHELATING FIBERS

In this paper,fibrous chelating exchangers with-N(CH2COOH)2 group have been prepared for the first time by a weakly basic anion exchange fiber (aminated fiber)as the starting materials.The fibers were quite effective for the adsorption of heavy metal ion such as Cu^2+.In addition,IR spectrum of the structure of fibers confirms that it is feasible to prepare iminocarboxylic chelating fiber through direct carboxylation reaction.     

Effect of the distribution of palladium over the cross section of an ion-exchanger fiber on catalyst activity in a water deoxygenation process

A procedure for the preparation of a fibrous palladium-containing catalyst for the removal of dissolved oxygen from water was developed. This procedure includes the preliminary modification of an anionexchanger fiber with carboxylate ions, which makes it possible to localize metal clusters in a thin subsurface layer of a fiber at the subsequent stages of the ion-exchange introduction of palladium into the carrier and the reduction of palladium. It was found that the higher activity of fibrous palladium-containing catalysts based on the citrate forms of anion exchangers, as compared with that of samples based on the chloride forms, was due to the predominant arrangement of reduced metal clusters on the external surface and an adjacent thin layer of the fiber.     

Pectin based cerium (IV) and thorium (IV) phosphates as novel hybrid fibrous ion exchangers synthesis,characterization and thermal behaviour

Summary Pectin based cerium (IV) and thorium (IV) phosphates have been synthesized as new phases of hybrid fibrous ion exchangers. Both materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, infrared (IR) spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differntial thermogravimetry (DTG), differntial thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as the determination of their ion exchange capacity, elution and pH titration. The X-ray study reveals the amorphous nature of the materials, while SEM studies confirm the fibrous nature of the materials. The thermal studies of these materials indicate that both of them are highly stable on heating as they retain about 97% of their ion-exchange capacity (i.e.c.) on heating up to 100°C and about 81% on heating up to 200°C.     

Synthesis and thermal stability of some inorganic ion exchangers based on silicon and tin

A number of silicon-based inorganic ion exchangers were synthesized under different conditions of preparation. The original and regenerated ion exchange capacities (IECs) were determined. Thermal stability of these materials was investigated in the temperature range of 40?C800?°C. The gain/loss of IEC was studied as a function of temperature. These exchangers show a higher IEC and its retention to a considerable extent at elevated temperatures when compared to that of corresponding ion exchangers which do not contain silica. The thermogravimetric curve shows greater percent mass loss in H⁺ form of the exchanger than in K⁺ form. Dehydration studies seem to throw some light on the state of water molecules present in various samples. The empirical formula and the tentative structure for stannic arseno silicate have also been proposed.     

ELECTRIC REGENERATION METHOD OF ION EXCHANGE RESIN IN THE MIXED BED

In this paper,the self-regeneration process of the mixed resins consisting of cation and anion ion exchangers in the electrolialyser of the packed bed is analyzed,and an electric regeneration method is put forward to supply the desalinated water by mixed bed.The electric regeneration technology is a new one used for regeneration of the exhausted ion exchangers in the mixed bed,instead of the traditional regenerating process by using acid and alkali liquor.Electric energy is consumed to regenerate the ion exchangers loaded by salts from water treatment without any chemicals-acid and alkali.The advantage of the electric regeneration process exhibited convenient operation,no discharge any waste,and therefore no pollution to the receiving water body and the environmental ground.     

Two-component protein adsorption to the cation exchanger S Sepharose FF

A model system, consisting of bovine serum albumin, lysozyme and the cation exchanger S Sepharose FF, was used to investigate multicomponent protein adsorption to ion exchangers. Two models, one based on a complete absence of competition between adsorbing molecules and the other a competitive model, based on the assumption that all adsorption sites are available to both proteins, have been compared to experimental results. Evidence for competitive adsorption was seen in experiments in which breakthrough curves and the profiles of adsorbed proteins in packed beds were determined. However, although the results for packed-bed experiments were more closely predicted by the fully competitive model, some discrepancies were found suggesting that when considering multicomponent protein adsorption to ion exchangers it may also be necessary to take account of factors such as the molecular size of the adsorbing proteins and any potential inter-protein interactions, factors which may hinder the development of a general model of multicomponent protein adsorption to ion exchangers.     

Strong acidic ion exchangers structure by inverse steric exclusion chromatography

A number of strongly acidic ion exchangers, both of the standard gel and of the macroreticular type, were investigated by inverse steric exclusion chromatography in an aqueous medium, using D₂O, sugars, and dextrans as standard solutes. Their structure was characterized as an assembly of isoporous fractions by using Ogston's model of the porous medium. The data thus obtained were correlated with those on the catalytic activity of ion exchangers for the hydrolysis of saccharose.     

H+-Ca2+ Equilibrium Exchange on Polyacrylic Cationites

Potentiometric titration curves of carboxyl-containing polyacrylic cation exchangers (Amberlite IRC 86, Dowex MAC 3, Lewatit CNP 80, Purolite C 104, and Relite CNS) in the H form with calcium ions were measured. It was found that the apparent equilibrium constant strongly depended on the composition of resinate solutions, which was indicative of significant deviations of solutions in the cation exchanger gel phase from the ideal behavior. The largest deviations were observed for Dowex MAC 3 ion exchanger, and the smallest, for Amberlite IRC 86. For the other sorbents, the dependences coincided to within measurement errors. The experimental data were treated in terms of six models of the theory of exchange equilibria. The best approximation to titration curves was obtained in terms of the model that suggested the presence of two types of exchange centers in ion exchangers and took into account the influence of the state of three neighboring fixed groups on each spatially separated center. The amounts of centers of all types in the ion exchangers were determined. Differences in the selectivity of the cation exchangers with respect to calcium ions were explained.

The equilibrium sorption of sulfuric acid by weakly basic polyacrylic anion exchangers synthesized on the basis of polyamines

The equilibrium ion-exchange sorption of sulfuric acid by the free base form of weakly basic polyacrylic anion exchangers with the gel (Relite MG1) and porous (Relite MG1/P) structures was studied. It was proved that the bisulfate variety of the anion exchangers did not form. Solutions of resinates were found to be nonideal. Their nonideality was analyzed in terms of the theory of exchange equilibria to suggest a model of the exchange of doubly-charged anions on fixed polyamine exchange centers of Relite MG1 and Relite MG1/P anion exchangers. The type of the ion was found to have no effect on sorption parameters.
