Ion-exchange resins in non-aqueous solvents-I Sorption rates of p-nitroaniline and the effects of small amounts of water

The rates of sorption of p-nitroaniline onto three hydrogenform resins in methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, acetonitrile, benzene, acetic acid and dioxan are reported. Two of the resins are typical gel-type, microreticular, sulphonated resins and the third is a new, highly porous and rigid, macroreticular, sulphonated resin, Amberlyst 15. There appears to be a correlation between viscosity or dielectric constant and the time for maximum sorption or maximum distribution coefficient when the alcohols are used, but no correlation for all the solvents is apparent. The macroreticular resin still functions when dry, even in the presence of non-polar solvents, but the microreticular resin does not. Small amounts of water present in the solvent or resin aid the sorption of the amine onto both types of resin. The effect of mesh size and cross-linkage are examined.     

Preparation of ion exchange resins from carbonaceous adsorbents

Carbonaceous adsorbents are obtained by thermolysis of sulfonated macroreticular polystyrene ion exchange resins at 300-500°C. The hard, spherical, carbonaceous particles react exothermally with elemental chlorine to form products containing up to 38% Cl. The chlorinated particles react readily with polyamines to form anion exchange resins with capacities of up to 2.2 meq/g dry resin. Less than 60% of the nitrogen atoms in the particles are utilized as ion exchange sites. The carbonaceous particles can also be chloromethylated with chloromethyl methyl ether or chlorinated with sulfuryl chloride and then aminated with polyamines to form anion exchange resins, sulfonated with sulfuric acid or chlorosulfonic acid to form strongly acidic cation exchange resins, or chlorosulfonated and then aminated with polyamines to form anion exchange resins. Model structures of the thermolyzed resins containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fragments are proposed to explain their chemical reactivities.     

Facile isomerization of glucose into fructose using anion-exchange resins in organic solvents and application to direct conversion of glucose into furan compounds

The facile isomerization of glucose into fructose has been developed using commercially available anion-exchange resins (AERs) in organic solvents. Following extensive screening for the amount and type of AERs, solvents and reaction time, glucose was transformed into fructose in yields of up to 50% using Amberlite A-26 with macroreticular morphology and tertiary amine functionality in a protic solvent (ethanol). AERs could be used five times without a significant loss of activity. This isomerization method could be applied to the direct conversion of glucose into furan compounds by integrating the dehydration of fructose with cation-exchange resins.     

Some ion-exchange resins for anion-chromatography

The quaternary ammonium salts, n-butyltrimethylammonium iodide, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyltrimethylammonium iodide, n-octadecyltrimethylammonium iodide and tri-n-dodecylmethylammonium iodide were synthesized from commercially available amines and together with n-hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide tested for retention by a series of macroreticular resins (XAD-2, XAD-4, XAD-7, XAD-8 and XAD-11) for use as "surface" ion-exchangers in the chromatography of anions. Exchange-capacity studies of the coated resins showed that the non-polar XAD-2 and XAD-4 resins had retention characteristics superior to those of the polar resins and that pore size in the resin was more important than surface area per unit weight of resin. Tri-n-dodecylmethylammonium salts in XAD-2 gave the highest exchange capacity, with best retention under elution conditions. Columns prepared from this anion-exchanger were used to separate and analyse simple mixtures of anions (chloride, nitrate and sulphate) each within the 1-30 ppm range, by single-column operation with indirect photometric detection and also by conductivity detection with background-ion suppression. Though of use for the determination of anions in simple mixtures, the resolution and performance were generally poorer than those displayed by a commercial (Dionex) column. This is at least partly attributable to the inferior column-packing properties of the granular XAD-resin.     

Macroreticular ion-exchange resins: some analytical applications to petroleum products

Extraction and subsequent recovery, in four separate fractions, of naphthenic acids, alkylphenols, pyrrollic compounds and nitrogen bases can be made from petroleum products using macroporous ion-exchange resins. Distinctive features of the technique are the use of dissolved gases in polar solvents as eluants and the application of the carbonate form of anion-exchange resins. The transition metal form of a macroreticular cation exchanger is shown to extract ligands from non-aqueous systems and a specific application to petroleum analysis is given.     

Flow microcalorimetry and competitive liquid sorption II. Liquid sorption and wetting on macroreticular hydrophilic/hydrophobic networks

Three different types of polymer networks (polymer resins) were investigated by flow microcalorimetry and selective liquid sorption from 1-propanol(1)-water(2) mixtures. Type 1 network structure is formed by non-polar, non-swelling, macroporous resins (Amberlite XAD-2, Amberlite XAD-4). The composite isotherms for alcohol sorption were S-shaped. 1-Propanol is preferentially sorbed up to x₁≈0.5. Macroreticular non-ionic resins, Amberlite XAD-7 and XAD-8, represent the second type of polymer structure. These particles have a considerable extent of swelling in the binary liquid mixture and 1-propanol was preferentially sorbed by the polymer. The composite isotherms were U-shaped and exhibit maxima and minima. The third type of network structure is attached to macroreticular polar, hydrophilic ion-exchange resins (Chelite-S, Amberlyste A-21). Depending on the composition range of the binary liquid mixture, the resins may swell to a different extent and water is preferentially embeded in the porous polymer network. The swelling of the polymer networks was monitored by the gravimetric technique in separate experiments. The sorption capacity determined from the liquid uptake of the resins was related to the sorption capacity derived from the reduced surface excess. The enthalpy effect accompanying the sorption process was determined by flow and immersion microcalorimetry. The enthalpy of displacement isotherms reveals differences in polarity and swelling ability of the polymer network fairly well. Structural changes in the adsorption layers and formation of alcohol-water clusters on the surfaces play an important role.     

High-resolution diffusion-ordered spectroscopy to probe the microenvironment of JandaJel and Merrifield resins

The success of organic reactions performed on a gel-phase resin is highly dependent on the accessibility of solvents, catalysts, and reagents to the interior of the resin. A variety of techniques including EPR, fluorescence, and Hildebrand solubility parameters (delta) have been used to probe reaction capabilities and in particular the microenvironment of a gel-phase resin. To provide a more detailed picture of the matrix in question, researchers have turned to NMR for the determination of the diffusion coefficients of solvents and small molecules in swollen beads to provide a means to compare the microenvironment of swollen beads. Since Merrifield and JandaJel resins display different swelling properties and have significantly different kinetic behavior, we undertook a comparative study of the diffusion coefficients of solvents and small molecules in both resins by high-resolution (1)H DOSY NMR. Our results show the following: (1) diffusion values for all studied solvents and small molecules are 20-30% higher in JandaJel compared to Merrifield resins, (2) in the absence of interactions between the resin and a given molecule, the diffusion values mirror the swelling properties of the resin, and (3) in the presence of strong intermolecular interactions between the gel and the considered molecule, the diffusion behavior in the gel is primarily influenced by the strength of the interactions and secondarily by the swelling properties of the resin. These results clearly show that the microenvironment of JandaJels is more "solution-like" than that of Merrifield resins, presumably due to the higher swelling capacity.     

Etherification of glycerol with tert-butyl alcohol catalysed by ion-exchange resins

The reaction of glycerol with tert-butyl alcohol in the liquid phase on acid Amberlyst-type ion-exchange resins was studied. The influence of temperature, mole ratio n(TBA)/n(G), water and swelling of gel, and macroreticular type of polymer catalysts on etherification reaction was investigated. The most favourable reaction temperature is 75°C. The conversion of glycerol and yield of glycerol tert-butyl ethers has increased with the mole ratio n(TBA)/n(G). Dry form of macroreticular catalysts provided the best results. Etherification reaction of glycerol with isobutylene in non-aqueous conditions gives the highest yield of desired ethers. The influence of water was studied. The gel forms of ion-exchange resins have very low catalytic activity. It can be concluded that water has an inhibition effect on ion-exchange resins. By comparing the gel and macroreticular forms of Amberlyst ion-exchange resins it can be concluded that very acid forms of macroreticular ion-exchange resins with a high degree of crosslinking are more active catalysts for the studied reaction due to their pores which are sufficiently large so that the voluminous tert-butyl ethers of glycerol can be formed. It was estimated that tert-butyl alcohol as tert-butylation agent is not suitable for etherification of glycerol with the formation of di-and triethers.     

Oleophilic ion-exchange resins. IV. Swelling of quaternary ammonium polymers in mixed solvents

The swelling characteristics of an oleophilic anion-exchange resin in methanol–benzene and ethanol–chloroform mixed solvent systems were compared with those of a conventional anion-exchange resin. The oleophilic resin was prepared by amination of chloromethylated polystyrene 1% DVB with N,N-dimethyldodecylamine. It showed a large shift of the swelling peak from polar to less polar solution compositions in both methanol–benzene and ethanol–chloroform systems as compared with the swelling of conventional resins. Total solvent uptake and solvent distribution between resin and solvent phases were also determined. The less polar solvent (benzene or chloroform) was sorbed preferentially by the oleophilic resin over a wide range of composition, while preference for the more polar solvent (methanol or ethanol) by the conventional resin was shown over the entire composition of the mixed solvent systems. The Newman-Krigbaum treatment of mixed solvents was applied to swelling data on the ethanol–chloroform–oleophilic resin system, where the volume of the gel network plus the solvent imbibed was relatively constant over the entire range of composition. The result suggests a strong similarity of the liquid–liquid interaction terms in this gel phase compared with those in the pure binary liquid phase.     

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.

Tailoring ultraresins based on the cross-linking of polyethylene imines. Comparative investigation of the chemical composition, the swelling, the mobility, the chemical accessibility, and the performance in solid-phase synthesis of very high loaded resins

Ultraresins have been prepared from polyethyleneimines and cross-linking molecules and have been provided with various degrees of cross-linking. The total nitrogen loading and the loading with secondary and with tertiary amines have been determined in all products. Nitrogen loadings of the novel resins were up to 15 mmol/g, reactive secondary amines up to 13.8 mmol/g. In addition to the exceptionally high loading, the novel resins displayed efficient swelling volumes in polar and nonpolar solvents. The mobility of resin-bound species as determined by EPR-spectroscopy, depending on the amount of cross-linker, indicated good flexibility and reactivity of this resin type. The novel, high-loaded resins have been investigated subsequently in solid-phase synthesis. The Rink amide linker and two different hydroxy linkers (hydroxyacetamide, HMPB) have been attached to the resin. Despite the high loadings, the secondary amines were easily accessible and could be functionalized exhaustively. Reactivity of the linker-coupled resins was found to be closely related to the resin composition. Increased resin cross-linking led to reduced swelling, reduced mobility, and reduced reactivity in the synthesis of a medium-sized model peptide. As the result of the systematic investigation of structure-property relations in Ultraresins, a support material was identified that combined high reactivity and a mobility in the range of the extremely flexible Tentagel supports. In the optimized Ultraresin, >95% of all available secondary nitrogens could be coupled with Rink linker or with the small 2-hydroxyacetamide anchor, resulting in loadings from 2.7 to 6.8 mmol/g, respectively. A resin with an attached HMPB linker and spacer delivered analytically pure peptides in solid-phase synthesis, fully exploiting the exceptionally high loadings.     

Detection of volatile organic compounds by temperature-programmed desorption combined with mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

A temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) device connected to a mass spectrometer was used to detect volatile organic compounds from air samples. The main aim was to develop an analytical method, by which both non-polar and polar organic components can be detected in the same run. In TPD, the adsorbed compounds are desorbed from the resin more slowly than in the conventional trapping techniques, such as purge-and-trap technique, in which the resin is flash-heated and the compounds are desorbed at the same time to a cryogenic trap or an analytical column. In TPD, the adsorbent resin acts also as an analytical column. In this way it is possible to obtain more rapid analysis, and also a more simple instrumentation, which can be used on-line and on-site. In this work, a new version of TPD device, which uses a resistor for heating and a Peltier element for rapid cooling, was designed and constructed. Various adsorbent resins were tested for their adsorption and desorption properties of both polar and non-polar compounds. When using a mixture of adsorbent resins, Tenax TA and HayeSep D, it was possible to analyze both polar, low-molecular weight compounds, such as methanol and ethanol, and non-polar volatile organic compounds, such as benzene and toluene, in the same run within 15 min including sampling. The same TPD principle was also tested using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer as an analytical instrument, and the results showed that it was possible to obtain a separation of similar compounds, such as hexane and heptane, and still retaining the same sensitivity as the original on-line FTIR instrument.     

Acetylacetonyl resins for metal ion chelation

A macroreticular resin (YCH₂CHAc₂) containing acetylacetone moiety can be prepared from macroporous polystyrene (cross-linked with 6% divinylbenzene) by first chloromethylation followed by reaction with nickel, sodium or tetrabutylammonium acetylacetonate. Nickel acetylacetonate was found to be more preferable, according to the analyses of the resin by chelation tests, elemental analyses and infrared spectra. The resin YCH₂CHAc₂ can chelate with Fe³⁺ in the 58% to 87% range (from 4 mmol Fe³⁺/mL aqueous or acetone solution respectively) or with Ni²⁺ up to 0.072 mmol Ni/g resin (from 0.1 mmol Ni²⁺/mL aqueous solution). Factors, such as pH, concentration, stirring etc., which may affect chelation were investigated. Specific surfaces, thermal stability and swelling capacity of these resins have been measured.     

Selective metal sorption on cross-linked poly(vinylpyridine) resins

The sorption behaviour of several metal ions on five kinds of poly(4- or 2-vinylpyridine) resins, cross-linked with divinylbenzene, and with different surface properties, are examined. All the resins proposed sorb some metal ions effectively in a similar manner by anion-exchange, while the sorption of metal ions by complex formation with the pyridine moiety is strongly affected by the surface properties of the resins. A macroreticular poly(4-vinylpyridine) resin shows high affinity for copper and nickel ions in acetate buffer. Sodium chloride and/or methanol added to the working solutions influence the sorption capacities for metal ions. This resin was applied to the separation of copper/cobalt and nickel/cobalt and the concentration of copper from sea-water by a column operation.     

Synthesis and application of polytetrahydrofuran-grafted polystyrene (PS-PTHF) resin supports for organic synthesis

Cross-linked polystyrene (PS) with polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF) chains were prepared for use in solid phase organic synthesis (SPOS). The resins were prepared from styrene, styrene-PTHF macromonomers and cross-linkers 1,4-bis[4-vinylphenoxy]butane or divinylbenzene by suspension polymerization. The styrene-PTHF macromonomers were prepared by cationic polymerization of 4-vinylbenzyl bromide and 4-(4-vinylphenoxy)butyl iodide activated by silver hexafluoroantimonate and 4-(5-hydroxypentyl)styrene activated by triflic anhydride. Alternatively, polytetrahydrofuran-grafted polystyrene (PS-PTHF) resins could also be directly prepared from 5-hydroxypentyl JandaJel by cationic polymerization using triflic anhydride as the initiator. These PS-PTHF resins exhibited good swelling characteristics across a wide spectrum of polar and non-polar solvents. These resins were used in the synthesis of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, which requires β-ketoester formation at low temperature (−78 °C), resulting in good yield and product purity; whereas the same synthesis carried out on PEG-grafted PS (PS-PEG) resin resulted in incomplete synthesis.     

Macroreticular p-(omega-sulfonic-perfluoroalkylated) polystyrene ion-exchange resins: a new type of selective solid acid catalyst

Macroreticular p-(omega-sulfonic-perfluoroalkylated) polystyrene (FPS) cation-exchange resins have been synthesized by sequential p-perfluoroalkylation of macroreticular polystyrene (PS) with omega-fluorosulfonylperfluorodiacyl peroxide 2, hydrolysis and acidification; the fluorinated mesoporous resins exhibited higher activity and selectivity than commercial Amberlyst 36 and Nafion NR50 in the cyclization of pseudoionone.     

Comparative Enrichment Capabilities of Some Carbonaceous and Macroreticular Resins Using Selected Radioactive Model Compounds in Fortified Aqueous Samples

Abstract

The concentration efficiency of synthetic macroreticular resins, XAD-2 and XAD-7 and carbonaceous resins, XE-340, XE-347 and XE-348 was evaluated and compared using trace levels of eight radioactive model environmental contaminants present in aqueous medium. Influences of chemical functionalities of the solvents, physical characteristics of the sorbents, and pH of the aqueous medium on sorption of the model compounds were investigated under frontal dynamic chromatographic conditions. The elution behavior of these sorbates and desorption properties of the polymer adsorbents with respect to solvents of different polarities were studied.     

Extraction of metal ions by N-phenyl-, N-methyl-, and N-unsubstituted hydroxamic acid resins

Procedures are described for preparing macroreticular chelating resins with hydroxamic acid or N-methylhydroxamic acid functional groups. The chelating properties of the resins are compared with each other and with an N-phenylhydroxamic acid resin reported earlier. The extraction of 19 metal ions was studied as a function of pH for the N-methylhydroxamic acid resin. Several analytical applications of this resin have been demonstrated including the purification of chemical reagents, concentration of trace metal ions, and chromatographic separation of metal-ion mixtures.
