Comparison of nonporous silica-based ion exchangers and monolithic ion exchangers in separations of inorganic anions

Low capacity anion exchangers for IC have been prepared by modification of nonporous uniformed silica MICRA microbeads and by modification of the organic polymeric monolithic matrixes prepared in situ in quarz capillary. Due to the small particle size (1.5 microm) high-performance adsorbents were prepared allowing to obtain up to 190,000 tp/m. However, the column possesses a very high back-pressure and can be used in a short length up to 50 mm only to meet the requirements of conventional chromatographic equipment. An analysis of a test mixture of seven anions was completed within 3 min with a back column pressure of about 350 bar (HETP of about 5.5 microm, where HETP is the height equivalent to the theoretical plate). Monolithic capillary columns provide lower efficiency per column unit length than MICRA columns; however, they can be used at a longer length because of their low flow resistance. Monolithic column of ca. 40 cm length has workable pressure below 10 bar and allows separation of a five anions test mixture within less than 10 min. A better efficiency of monolithic column (HETP approximately 75 microm) can be achieved at reduced flow rates when the analysis time is not a critical parameter.

Hydrolysis of oligosaccharides by sulphonic ion exchangers

The hydrolysis of oligosaccharides by sulphonic ion exchangers has been performed in batch and in column experiments. The rate constants and selectivity are compared with the values obtained in homogeneous phase with H₂SO₄ and polystyrene sulphonic acid. The rate constants are lower in the presence of ion exchangers for dimers and the efficiency decreases as the degree of polymerization of the oligosaccharides increases, because of control by intraparticle diffusion. It is concluded that the ion exchanger process is rather inefficient for higher molecular weight solutes when compared with the corresponding polyelectrolyte or low molecular weight acid.     

Sorption of zinc complex ions from chloride solutions with ion exchangers

Specific interactions of alkenes with different metal ion forms of ion exchangers in gas solid chromatography

Summary The gas chromatographic selectivity of K⁺, Zn²⁺, Ag⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cd²⁺ forms of a cation exchange packing have been determined for a set of 44 C₂ to C₈ alkenes. The retention characteristics of each ion are broken down into electronic (charge-transfer) and steric effects associated with the alkene sub-populations of each carbon number. Almost every pair of alkenes tested can be separated on at least one of these packings. Retention is much stronger on the ion exchangers than on metal-ion containing packings in gas-liquid chromatography, even with shorter columns and higher temperatures.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

Computer evaluation of water sorption on ion exchangers

Water sorption on an ion exchanger can be described by formation of several hydrates. The general least squares program WSLET based on the "pit-mapping" approach has been written for evaluating such equilibria. It is written in FORTRAN 77 for use on personal computers. Besides finding the best values for the equilibrium constants of the various hydrates the program also searches for best values of the stoichiometric indices by using the so-called ESI-method. The program is provided with least-squares procedures and blocks for statistical analysis of the residuals as well as for data simulation. It has been tested with data on the strong base resin Dowex 1 as well as on simulated data. In the present paper an illustrative example is given together with data simulation. It is found that in most cases WSLET helps to find a better fit than earlier models quite efficiently, showing the advantage of the ESI method in combination with least-squares methods.     

Investigation of silica gel supported inorganic ion exchangers

Microcrystalline zirconium phosphate (-ZrP), hydrous manganese dioxide (HMnO), ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP) and silica gel supported forms of these materials as well as silica gel (SG) itself were investigated by thermoanalytical, electron microscopic, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrometric methods.

Effect of gamma radiation on organic ion exchangers

Effects of gamma radiation on indigenous strong cation and anion exchange resins have been studied in HCl medium up to a dosage of 3600 kGy. The ion exchange capacities of cation and anion exchangers decreased by around 20% at 2400 kGy of absorbed dose. Decrease in salt-splitting capacity and total exchange capacity for both cation and anion exchangers were comparable up to 2400 kGy. Above 2400 kGy, a marginal loss in the capacity was observed for cation exchangers whereas a drastic reduction was noticed for the anion exchangers. The distribution coefficients for zirconium, antimony and cobalt, measured in HCl medium, did not change significantly for 2400 kGy of absorbed dose. Crushing strength and moisture retention capacity did not exhibit any specific trend with the absorbed dose.     

Sorption characteristics of uranium onto composite ion exchangers

The composite ion exchangers were tested for their ability to remove UO₂ ²⁺ from aqueous solutions. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composites having natural zeolite, clinoptilolite, and synthetic zeolite, zeolite X, were used as an adsorbents. The influences of pH, U(VI) concentration, temperature and contact time on the sorption behavior of U(VI) were investigated in order to gain a macroscopic understanding of the sorption mechanism. The optimum adsorption conditions were determined for two composites. The sorption behaviors of uranium on both composites from aqueous systems have been studied by batch technique. Parameters on desorption were also investigated to recover the adsorbed uranium.     

Potentiometric sensors based on organic ion exchangers for determining tetraalkylammonium salts

Potentiometric sensors with plasticized polymer membranes based on organic ion exchangers, tetraalkylammonium dodecyl sulfates (benzyldimethyldodecylammonium, benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium, dimethyldistearylammonium), have been proposed for the determination of quaternary ammonium salts in model solutions and KATAPAV technical solutions. The thermal stability, composition, and solubility product have been estimated. It has been shown that ion associates are stable to 60?C70°C, K _S varies in the range from 2 × 10^?8 to 5 × 10^?10. The basic electrochemical parameters of the sensors have been determined as well, such as linearity ranges of the electrode function (5 × 10^?5 (5 × 10^?6)?1 × 10^?2 (1 × 10^?3) M) and slopes of the electrode functions (47?C59 mV/pc), response time (60?C90 sec), potential drift (2?C3 mV/day), operation period (3?C4 months), limits of detection for tetramethylammonium salts (1 × 10^?5?4 × 10^?7 M).     

Liquid ion exchangers in reversed-phase systems for chromatography of steroidal glucosiduronic acids

Steroidal glucosiduronic acids were chromatographed on paper by the reversed-phase technique using five different liquid ion exchangers as stationary phase and aqueous KCl as mobile phase. The relationship of mobility of the acids (R_M) to both the amount of exchanger on the paper and the concentration of KCl in the mobile phase is discussed: the relationships may be expressed as R_M = n·log [exchanger] + const. and R_M = −n·log [KCl] + const., respectively. Migration of the acids in the presence of different exchangers is correlated by use of the equation R_M (exchanger Y) = a·R_M (exchanger X) + b. The lack of appreciable correlation between migration of the acids in a reversed-phase system and a corresponding straight-phase system is discussed and expressed by means of regression equations. The correlation coefficients and standard errors of estimate from these equations provide useful indices for selecting two solvent systems that are to be used sequentially to obtain maximal resolution of a group of compounds. ΔR_M values obtained for various functional groups with reversed-phase and straight-phase techniques are compared.

Irradiation upto 100 Mrad, has no effect on these substances, except thorium tungstate which showed changes in ion-exchange capacity, distribution behaviour and in binary separations.
